### 4/5 — Great templates

*2023-12-19, version 1.1.16*

I love the templates and color palettes! I would love to make a premium purchase or annual subscription but it’s only allowing me to do a weekly one.

### 1/5 — Dont do the free trial. They will charge you.

*2022-10-16, version 1.1.15*

They said I can do a 3-day free trial. I confirmed and then at midnight I got a charge on my card for the subscription price. Not happy. Please don’t false advertise. Will not be using this again.

### 4/5 — why cant i open it

*2022-10-08, version 1.1.15*

太极功夫

### 1/5 — Free trial was not free

*2022-08-10, version 1.1.15*

Free trial ended up charging me.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-06-07, version 1.1.15*

Definitely recommend getting the plus feature, you can’t really do much without it.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2021-12-31, version 1.1.15*

I love this game but I kinda wish there wasn't  so much with subscription because that limits your creativity but at least we know nothing can are limit imagination.

### 3/5 — Good but needs more customization

*2021-06-24, version 1.1.15*

The app is really good & the templates are amazing but I would love an option for creating my own template, also to see the variety of stuff I can add from the menu.

### 1/5 — Charged Me for Annual Subscription Rather than Free Trial

*2021-06-21, version 1.1.15*

I signed up for the annual subscription after the app advertised that I’d get a 7 day free trial prior to billing. Instead, I was billed the annual subscription immediately upon subscribing, no free trial. Had to submit a claim to Apple for reimbursement.

### 2/5 — Issue with the purchase

*2021-04-06*

I am being charged despite of not agreeing to any purchase of  membership, can you please refund.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We're sorry that you've faced this problem. Still, all App Store subscriptions are auto-renewable.
Please email us at info@ash-app.com, so we can try to find a way to fix the issue and help you or follow Apple's support https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039 Thanks!

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2021-04-02, version 1.1.12*

Horrible experience. The app automatically signs you up to the annual subscription upon downloading. App was frozen from the start so I deleted the app and a few days later had $60aud taken out of my account without my knowledge. I emailed and requested a refund as the app was broken and still took a large amount of money once deleted and I was basically refused and told that I should have cancelled and not signed up although I stated that it automatically does and the app didn’t work.
