App crashes… so I'm reluctant to pay

Plz fix the issues
Looks like I'm not the only one

Can’t use without premium?

I downloaded the app, and it looks great, but I can’t seem to use it at all unless I pay for premium. Can’t tell if this is just a bug? But every single aspect of the app is locked. Why even offer a free download if there isn’t even a basic version?

Going around in circles

Hello, this is a response to Robin’s response to my earlier review. Robin, you suggested I send you an email via the contact us button. That’s what I did and it did not get answered. In your response, you also provided a link to contact the developer, which goes to a Facebook page that has not been updated since 2019. I would be willing to try the app with a monthly subscription. However, as noted in all my previous correspondence, there does not seem to be any way to actually get a monthly subscription.

Response from developer

Hello, this is a followup response to your latest message. There seems to be an issue with our email forwarding that you have pointed out. Please use my personal email here for the time being: robincgreenwood@gmail.com. I also found the bug that you encountered with the selection of a monthly subscription, and will have that fixed within the next release. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience the delayed responses has caused you, and hope to make it up to you. Best, Robin --------- Thanks for your feedback! My sincere apologies that two emails seem to have gone unanswered. If you send an email to us directly from the app under “profile”, that will make sure it reaches me directly and I’ll attend to it personally asap. If you believe there was a mixup in the plan, you can also request a refund at this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 Thanks for your patience! Robin (Founder, CEO)

It doesn’t let you cancel the subscription…

..even though the app has the most recent update. Not that it should matter.

Can’t even try it out

There is nothing I can try out without the app asking me to sign up for pro. They are basically catfishing people to download the app for “free” so you can pay for everything once downloaded. Seems like a scam

DATA SCAM?

This app is collecting data from copy&paste when you launch it.

Don’t download don’t buy

This app is an absolute joke. How the **** am I supposed to improve my speech when everything is locked? Just a cheap cash grab and attempt to get you to buy the premium. A three day trial isn’t enough to even see slight improvement or convince me to buy it

Nothing to try without premium

I was hoping to at least try one lesson without having to subscribe for anything. Technically speaking, there is a “free” trial “after” you subscribe for one of the premium options. So it’s impossible to rate for quality of content when there are barriers to try content.

Improvement after 3 sessions in 3 weeks!

I did the warm ups only a few times. My recordings show a major improvement! I went from squeaky Lauren Bacall to the real deal Bacall. Amazing. Highly recommend. Thank you, Astound!!

Paid content only

All of the exercises are locked for premium subscriptions only. I would have liked to explore the app before purchasing. Instead I’m deleting it.
