Using an established app name when unaffiliated
Scam
Response from developer
Every specific claim in this review is false, and all of it takes about a minute to check. There is no sign up. No account, no email, no password, nothing to register. The one setup screen turns on iCloud sync and it can be skipped. You described a flow this app does not have. There is no AI. No chatbot, no generated text, no model, nowhere in it. The app adds up numbers you type in, on your own device. It never asks for a bank login or card details, and the price is on screen before anything is charged. I am an independent developer. I have never claimed to be anyone else, or to be connected to anyone else. You did not use this app. You opened it, saw a price, and typed "scam". That word is an accusation, and nothing in your review earns the right to make it.
“free trial” charged me $30
Response from developer
Calling it a lie does not change your own purchase history, so here it is plainly. You got the free trial. You started it, you kept it the full week, and it cost you nothing. Apple gives that trial once per Apple ID, not once per visit. So when you came back later and tapped the plan a second time, there was no trial left to give you. That tap was a purchase and it billed. We do not take your money and we cannot. Apple bills, and Apple refunded you in full the next day. This app has been paid nothing. What was on us is that our screen still said trial to people Apple would no longer give one to. That wording is gone. It shipped in 1.7.0.
Productivity
Response from developer
Thanks for writing this. Keeping the daily use quick is the part we work hardest on, so your weekly budget and your Safe to Spend number are a glance rather than a chore. Speed and smoothness get measured every release and we keep pushing on them. One thing worth knowing: there are no ads, no bank login and no account.
totally paywalled
Response from developer
The app is paid, and that is a deliberate choice. There are no ads in it, so it is funded by the people who use it rather than by advertisers. Worth correcting one thing though: a subscription is not required. There is a one time purchase that unlocks everything permanently, and it sits next to the yearly plan on the same screen. What that covers: a weekly Safe to Spend figure, expenses and income, savings goals, recurring bills with alerts, cash flow and debt payoff, four home screen widgets and full iPad layouts. No bank login, and no account with us.
