### 1/5 — Sneaky app

*2025-07-31*

I was downloading an app for work and this pre-populated and required me to go through the prompts in order to continue my download and then charge me $40. I immediately canceled, but this clearly is a historical issue with this app and should get a refund.

### 1/5 — Tricksters

*2025-07-14*

I had to download this app to set up an online store. It was noted on my platform that the app was free. When I went to open it, it took me to the page to sign up for the subscription. It needed my finger print which I did not give, however it seemed to time out and signed me up for the subscription anyway. Kinda feel like I had $40!stolen from me.

### 1/5 — …DONT USE THIS APP….  you will wind getting charged for zero usage when it isn’t what you need

*2025-06-17*

I downloaded this app to use it it didn’t sync with the service I was attempting to use and, upon further research, I found out this app was incorrect for that service and wasn’t compatible with the other app involved so now I’m dealing with incessant requests for payment from my Apple Account from this company and their incompatible app….

### 1/5 — Beware

*2025-05-12*

1 star bc it wouldn’t let me leave 0. I searched up the exact name of a different app needed for my job. This one apparently was put first on the list and I mistakenly clicked it instead and when I downloaded the app it automatically signed me up for a year subscription ($42+ change) that I did not need or want. I was denied a refund. So beware that when you search up a specific other app this one comes up first and then you’re stuck with an app you will not use.

**Developer response:** I'm Cora from Apex Innovate Team. I am very sorry to bring you a bad product experience. . Please describe your problem in detail and contact us at support@apexinnovateapps.com, we will be happy to help you. Thank you for your understanding and support.

### 1/5 — THIS IS NOT GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR!

*2025-05-09*

THIS IS NOT GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR! This is a copy that tries to sell you a $40 subscription for a product that Google offers for free! Their ad makes it look like you are getting Google Authenticator, but you are NOT. Do not download this app. Get the *authentic* Google Authenticator.

**Developer response:** Dear user, we appreciate your feedback. Our app complies with all requirements of Apple's official app store and complies with all relevant regulations and laws and regulations. We are a legitimate app.Our products also have many personalized services, and we recommend that you try them.
