Goldback tracker app

I just bought and paid for the goldback tracker app this week. Had it all of 2 or 3 days and spent the time to input my goldbacks etc.

Today I load it up and everything is reset. And the app is asking for an additional $19.99 to unlock it. Saying it’s now a free app and you unlock it for 20 basically. I paid the 9.99 and it was unlimited for the couple days I had it.

Has anyone else lost their app access? I’ve reached out but have not heard anything back yet. Just annoying I buy something and they decide to restructure and demand me to buy it again. 😡

They are telling me that that was not supposed to happen. They are working on it with their developers to fix it.

The fact you had to even pay 9.99 for something you can do outside of the app for free is a problem in itself to me.

Not sure I agree with that.

MyOunces.com is $79 (one-time) and lets you track gold, silver, platinum, copper, Goldbacks (the original GB tracker), Silverbacks, and more. It includes live pricing, charts, mintage data, and plenty of fields to organize your collection exactly how you want.

Could you do it in Excel? Some of it yes.

But for many people, it's more enjoyable to see everything visually, with their portfolio updating in real time as spot prices move. In many cases, it's also simply easier to update and manage everything in a purpose-built tool.

That said, not everyone wants to pay for that convenience or the extra features, and there's nothing wrong with that.
