User Reviews: Swift Alert

Reviews Summary

  • Notifications

    Notifications don't work properly, and I get random ones that I have off. I assumed that meant that I actually had them on since the shaded squares maybe meant they were off instead of on, so I swapped and same issue. Turned them all off, still got random era notifications so I turned them all on, same problem.
  • It’s the subscription for me

    I got the app because I wanted to be alerted when Taylor starts the surprise songs, just to find it locked behind not only a pay wall, but a subscription service! So it’s not even a one time payment, you have to pay $2 every month. Like yeah it’s only $2, but that’s 2 dollars I could have saved just for some notifications. Do better and curb your greed.

    Otherwise the app is good if you don’t need the notifications, it mostly quizzes and twitter alerts for Taylor swift accounts. But if that’s what you came for you will enjoy it.
  • Pretty good

    I was enjoying the app a lot. It’s very nice to get a notification during eras tour shows about whether or not there’s new outfits or what the surprise songs are, especially if you don’t have time to sit down and watch a live stream.

    I am however disappointed they moved the surprise song tracker behind a paywall. When the app first got started I enjoyed being able to go through that and the fact that we can’t anymore without paying is disappointing.
  • Useless

    Unless you want to have another pointless subscription charge to come out of your bank account each month… don't get the app. They market the app as if it's an alert app for swifties, but that's only of you pay for the “premium version.” The free version is virtually useless as it only does stuff I could easily find with a Google search. But the notifications of the tour and surprise song tracker are features you now hav to pay for.
  • Pay ?

    It is a great idea, being alerted for things such as when the surprise songs are, when different eras start, and new outfits. It’s perfect, until you realize you have to pay to get notified. At that point I might as well look online for the answers. The entire reason I got it was so that I could see what the surprise songs were at work or when I’m out and not have to worry about missing it. Guess it won’t work. Again I love the idea just feels capitalized since you need to pay for anything useful
  • Not able to scroll down on trivia

    This app has been great so far, the only thing I would fix is the fact that on the folklore/evermore lyric trivia, on the last page you are not able to scroll down to submit your answer and move on to the next page.

  • Everything useful is premium content

    I just heard about this app and thought I’d try it out, but it’s useless unless you’re willing to pay. All of the features that are described are premium content. Annoyed that I wasted my time for some false advertising and never even got to try anything out. I didn’t have it before today, so it’s an easy delete.
  • Your Tracking Era

    I’ve been keeping up with the Surprise Songs for a while and this makes it SO much easier. I also got updates on costume changes for this new leg which was cool! There was a one time charge of 2 bucks, which I would consider very generous! RECOMMEND WITHOUT A DOUBT for any Eras Swifties!
  • Notifications and surprise song tracking used to be free until app developers got greedy

    I downloaded this app when there were only five reviews for it and it would give me notifications when the shows would start, which openers were performing, and when my favorite eras were starting for FREE. I even got notified if a show was rescheduled! I also got to keep track of all the surprise songs that have been played for FREE as well. All of a sudden this app must have gotten very popular because it now has 100+ reviews and the developers now want me to pay for PREMIUM access just to get notifications and surprise song updates. Unbelievable.

    Developer Response

    Hi there! Unfortunately we can't develop and maintain software for free. If you can find software developers willing to work for free, then we can make it free again!
  • Was great… until it took my money!

    This app was really great until the most recent update requiring you to pay- it immediately stopped giving me the updates I wanted and when I deleted and redownloaded the app, it now doesn’t recognize my purchase. I don’t recommend until they fix those issues unless you don’t care about losing your money.
