very baad and expensive
it says its free but it isn't
Change your app description to say payment required! waste of time
waste of time ..after how many questions then it will ask for mandatory subscription
Sign up for subscription before you even get a chance to see what the app is capable of. No thank you.
I need these charges reversed....I dont like this app
this app is a scam I am writing this report on 1 May 2026 I am telling you do not download this app because it is trying to make you pay and it is trying to scam you
Paid Service App needs a Purchase after sign in.
Makes you submit a selfie before you learn that the app costs money
paywall. Sure it helps, but im not paying 65$ a year for to have an Ai give me a fit check.
paise maangta h subscription k bina kuch suggest ni karta
pass. can't even experience the app the free trial is an entrapment method
stuck on the free trial page. only option is to pay or log out... not worth it if I can't even try before paying. bad experience won't install again and don't recommend you send your money on it either.
Include payment at first try
this app is pad and i have no money for this app.
very bad
The app is good, but the problem is the cost. It doesn't have a free version, you have to purchase the plan, at the starting itself. It's not very affordable. I would have liked it more if it had a free version.
i thought it was free as shown in the advertisement but you need to pay actual so one star for me
I don't like it not free only payment
I thought I can use it freely, but whenever Im openning, it shows 3 days free trial then ask for debit credit card. bruh the whole login process was a waste, why making it free to install if we cant use it for free without any payment hesitations.
I thought it was free! why would I pay! you should make a free app too. for the free trial too it asks for paying method!
no free version
3 days free trial then making you pay for something that should just be free with ads is criminal
have to setup autopay to use the app. useless app don't install
wasted my time, pay to use
worst app ever
Can't even try the app without being asked for credit card details...
Cancer app you go through 100 pages only to be required to pay.
too expensive, it's a scam
I wish they were open with the costs up front. it's very expensive and I feel like i just wasted my time. you have to go through a huge on-boarding process where it asks you a million questions with no mention of the cost
You can't experience it... you set up the app with what you like and before you can even start really using it, the app already wants you to pay... then you already have to choose the payment plan and agree to it before you can test it for free... Also it's not good for low budget people like me when you have to pay for it... I would consider paying for it if you could experience it BEFORE you have to choose the payment plan and all that...
gets ur email then asked if you wanna pay monthly.
it would be nice to let people know that you need a debit or credit card to use this app.
cash grab
Doesn't tell you you need a subscription for their app until you've made and account and set everything up.
Wouldn't recommend this specific app.
making the app free while also forcing the user to pay a fee is a crude way of getting money. make the app paid if you want cash, but if the goal is to make it free, users should be allowed to use an app they downloaded, even if ads are necessary. great app idea but poorly executed essentially
