User reviews

They don’t have free version

Don’t waste your time signing up like I did, it’s so annoying why take take someone through the whole process then announce payment?!?!

Not free

This app lets you try for 3 days for free then it’s $30 a year, that’s not “in app purchases “ this is a paid app

Good work

Good

Outrageous

After answering tons of questions, you end up being forced to pay just to use the app. Honestly, if you just want to collect datas, make surveys instead of advertising a free app that turns out to be paid. You could’ve at least made it a paid app from the start. I would’ve rather paid for that. It’s 2026, and it’s outrageous to trick people into spending money like this. This kind of manipulative monetization is ridiculous. I immediately deleted that app.

No free option

Download the app after seeing so many Instagram ads, though it will be really helpful, but it immediately starts with a paywall. There is no content that you can access without giving card information. Prices are too high as well.
No Thankyou.
