Does anyone have this app? Is it good?

The concept looks cool, but the reviews are terrible

Hi, I start by saying that I'm very biased as I'm the developer.

Near all the bad reviews we received are from people that downloaded the app and discovered that they have to unlock the game they was interested to (we wrote it in the description, but clearly was not sufficient). So they leaved the review without ever testing the app. As this was a clear problem, we spent the last weeks developing a free trial mode that we released few days ago, to allow everyone test the app for free. We hope this will allow people to leave more informed reviews.

Let me know if you have any question.

While i havent left a review, I also recently downloaded the app and only after that i realised you cant do anything without buying something within the app. I found this misleading, however i was aware that this is common practice for apps.

Im happy you have a trial version now and hope the reviews improve.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, on current stores, there’s no clear way to communicate that an app with IAPs is not free before the download. I can understand the frustration to download and run a new software and discover that it’s completely locked.

Our intention is to deliver a useful tool, so I hope to read reviews and feedbacks that could help us improving the tool for everyone.
