User reviews

PAID APP

Makes you go through a whole bunch of questions before it finally demands money.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The subscription requirement is mentioned on the App Store page, but we’ll work on making it even clearer during onboarding as well. Appreciate you giving the app a try.

Too much money

It wants me to spend money, but I’m broke

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. We understand a subscription isn’t always affordable for everyone. If cost is the only thing preventing you from using Cart AI, feel free to reach out to us at support@cartai.app. We occasionally provide complimentary access in special situations.

No trial

Hello. First of all - too much on boarding screens … really too much. And if you give me a trial … it shouldn’t be for money it should be free. I want to try your product. Okay if it’s will for 14 days not for 30 days but real free trial

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We heard you. Cart AI now includes an interactive demo trip so you can experience how the app works firsthand, plus a free trial to try it yourself before committing to a subscription. We’ve also improved the onboarding since this review. Hope you’ll give the new version a try!

Paywall

After a long intro, the app asks you to pay for a subscription which is ironic.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We’ve since shortened the onboarding and added an interactive demo to show how it works. We also now offer a free trial before deciding if it’s worth subscribing. Hope you’ll give the updated version another try!

Spend Money

The one thing I hate about apple is the apps are all subscription. No one time buy. Looks like a great app but I can’t afford another subscription
