Then before you can even press anything a “rate the app” popup takes over. Get the feeling this just a vibe coded cash grab. Not for meteorology enjoyers. ### 1/5 — No free trial *2026-05-15* I began the 3 day free trial yesterday on the understanding I could cancel anytime. But I was billed for the full year subscription on the same day. There was no option to cancel in settings. ### 1/5 — Can’t even try it without subscribing… grrrr *2025-08-26* Who knows what it’s like, it says free to download then won’t even let you try it without subscribing to an expensive weekly or yearly subscription. What!!???? I would avoid personally. **Developer response:** Hi OmniCat5! Sorry to see that you are frustrated! We have a 3 day trial on the weekly plan that gives you time to try before any payment. We have thousands of happy cloud enthusiasts using the app. Hope you’ll try the app! Cheers ### 1/5 — You want me to try it the don’t threaten me with a charge *2025-08-05* It seems this is the new thing to mess with people’s finances. They want me to try their app to see if I like it and instead of just letting me try it for a couple hours or days, I’m forced to agree to a subscription with the option to cancel. These people know that users forget and then the company makes the first months fee. Do that with thousands of people and you’ve got yourself a real moneymaker with people that don’t even want your app and they are now funding your company. Apple should ban this sort of nonsense. **Developer response:** I’m so sorry to hear that. We offer both weekly and yearly subscription,these has been developed by the demands of our users. Weekly is of course a short term option but yearly is the best value. Hopefully you’ll return to the app otherwise you’re free to get a refund. Best / Richard, Customer Support ### 1/5 — I have to pay?? *2024-10-22* I’m guessing I’m doing it wrong, but it seems like I have to have the prom version to actually identify clouds with this app? **Developer response:** Hi! Yes, this is a paid service because the costs of identifying with AI is a cost for us on the backend. Best / Richard, Customer Support ### 2/5 — No Point *2025-01-23* This app just asks ChatGPT what kind of clouds it is and shows you the answer. Something you can do yourself, just as easily. **Developer response:** Hi Admiral! We are doing much more on the backend to identify the cloud via our own machine learning. Try the new update I think you’ll like it! ### 3/5 — Attention payant *2026-05-08* Application entièrement payante. Belle interface et scan souvent fonctionnelle malgré des erreurs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
