Money-Hungry

I almost never write reviews but I am writing one for this app because 1. you have to suffer through a very obviously rigged “spin the wheel” where they give you “discounts” on their paid subscription model. 2. there’s an animation that pops up if you wanted to save a theme. It looks like a golden egg, and you are forced to click on it (no cancel button) to continue, triggering another obnoxious, cash-grabby lure to buy their subscription. 3. After you download and open the app, they show you pages and pages of what you can do with the app. you’re forced to click through like 10 pages, each one with its own slow animation, no way out of it.

It is clear that this app’s sole purpose is to pelt you with as many reminders and “bonuses” and “discounts” as they can to lure you into thinking that their subscription is worth it. literally at every single turn. You don’t even get a chance to try out the app and come to your own conclusion on whether or not it’s worth it before slogging through all the shady stuff they try to guilt you and lure you into.

Do better.

Terrible Scam

I’m not even going to go into anything of what the app actually is. Just by opening the app and having a subscription thrown right into my face and then clicking out but having a “chance” to “win” a discount by “spinning” a wheel, which always lands on the gift box to give you a discount. Meaning that original price they try to sell you at is probably 2x more than what they originally were thinking of getting.

READ NOW BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD

Do not get this app it steals your information and there are way to many adds it also makes you pay 40$ to unlock 2 widgets and GIFS

Disappointing and not worth your time

I saw an add for the digital Pokémon thing at the top of ur screen thought that was so cute and I downloaded this app specifically for that and I have to pay for it. Which I don’t get. I’m already paying an arm and a leg for this cellphone why does everything little thing on it cost more money. I’m sorry but I’m not paying 7.99 a week to have a Pokémon on my screen. It’s cute but not worth 7.99. And I was checking out the free options on the app which isn’t worth your time either there’s maybe 4 free options I’ve found and they were all stupid. Don’t even bother. And I will be deleting this app. 10 minutes of my life I’m not getting back. Also if ur gonna advertise these apps on social media and such maybe let people know 95% of the app ur advertising u have to pay for to use. I checked the ad had no information that there was going to be a WEEKLY charge. Would’ve saved me the trouble of downloading it and being disappointed.

LEAVE ME ALONE

I just wanted an eevee Dynamic Island instead I was barraged with non stop ads/ subscription pop upps

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE OR PURCHASE

I bought the lifetime subscription and it didn’t give me anything. I reached out to support and have only gotten radio silence. Don’t waste your money, major scam.

🫤

I’ve made my own icons but they aren’t piping up on my Home Screen I’ve tried everything like updating the app

WARNING DO NOT BUY PLEASE READ

I only rated this a 5 so it would be seen instead of hidden. It is a total scam, it does not do what it shows in the ads, and it absolutely WILL make u spin a wheel to earn “94% off”. It throws a bunch of subscriptions in your face and a bunch of fake deals. Report this app and do not not NOT purchase anything from this app.

Nothing free bro

Deadass nothing free scams yo

Scam

InstaScam

A maioria das opções são pagas! 😡

Acho sim justo o app colocar algumas versões pagas, mais aprimoradas e com mais opções.. Porém, é um absurdo que todas as opções serem pagas! se pelo menos fosse um pagamento vitalício ainda ia, mas agora anual!? totalmente fora de mão para nós que somos brasileiros

Not free

It's free to download, but everything else costs money. So, don't waste your time downloading it.

was great and fun, bugs persist

i used the pokémon widgets, especially for the dynamic island, for a while. it was great and i had a lot of fun changing them from time to time, but there’s a bug that prevents u from cycling through the different pokémon and, in turn, prevents the dynamic island gif from working. it’s frustrating and sad because i really enjoyed it. hopefully that bug can get patched through!! who knows it might just be an error on my end.

Don’t waste your time

It’s all behind paywalls. Not worth it

Garbage SCAM

Do not waste your time with this obvious scam app. Widgets DO NOT WORK. Absolutely NOTHING on the app is free. TONS of pop up ads bombarding you for your money. Steer clear from this dumpster fire.

Paid app

Cant do anything without paying. Hit with a fee after clicking through 2,000 opening screens

Cool concept, poor monetization

All the concepts, the art, and functionality is so cool. But the need for a subscription is quite ridiculous. I’d rather pay per art, overall one time purchase, something that doesn’t charge me until the end of time. This could be easily a 5 star if it just charged better

Full on scam for pokemon

Delete off App Store Apple

Loved it until

I loved this app because it made everything cute until it kept killing my phone battery that I have to get repaired 😞

Baited

Got baited by app for the pokemon dynamic gif but the weekly price is absurd instead of just a one time purchase for these things.
