How to cancel Hokusai Audio Editor subscription ⁉️

User reviews

Subscription and payment issues.

I bought lifetime but its paid as a subscription or free trial. And i did not sign up for a free trial or a 12.99 subscription.

I am very disappointed. I think i want my money back or a refund.

処理落ちで保存不可

作業が水の泡です。ゴミ。

【追記】
自動保存されるというコメントですが、自動保存される前に処理落ちし、1度処理落ちした後は、プロジェクトからトップ画面に戻る度に毎回処理落ちし、編集内容も全て消えます。端末の再起動でも結局改善せず、アプリを削除&再インストールするまで使える状態に戻りませんでした。再インストール後も同じ状態が再発したので、時間を無駄にしたくない人にはオススメできません。UIが非常に使いやすいだけに残念です。

Response from developer

I’m sorry to hear you have encountered a problem while using Hokusai. Projects are saved automatically as you edit, so your work should always be kept safe, but if you are having problems, I would recommend first updating to the latest version (currently 3.0.5). If you continue to experience problems after that, please get in touch with Customer Support using the link in the Tools menu: We don’t have any way of diagnosing your problem through the App Store, but if you get in touch directly we can work through tests to try and narrow down the cause. Thanks!

So one time purchase at the beginning then subscription…

After we purchase the app you eventually put features behind paywall? That’s a new level of scam.
Disgusting… I really regret supporting you and purchasing your app.

Response from developer

Hello! Although we offer a Hokusai 3 Pro subscription, this does not affect existing Hokusai 1 or Hokusai 2 Pro purchases. If you purchased any upgrade in any earlier version of Hokusai, you can continue to use that purchase in Hokusai 3 without subscribing. Hokusai 3 Pro took years to develop and offers many new features, but if you aren’t interested in those features and prefer not to subscribe, you can still continue using your older Hokusai 1 or Hokusai 2 features without it. Most of those older features are still found in the same places as in Hokusai 2, but if there’s a Hokusai 2 feature you can’t find in Hokusai 3, please contact Customer Support using the link inside the app and let us know which one, so we can point you in the right direction. Thanks!

업데이트 이후 좀..

전 이전까지 유료구입해서 폰으로 오디오 편집알 잘 사용해왔어요. 대폭적인 업데이트라 기대했는데..살짝 낯설음탓도 있겠지만 좀 별로에요. 차라리 예전걸 사용하고 싶어요. 커서의 줄이 두툼하고 투박스럽고 섬세한 콘트롤이 이 전만 못해서 사용감이 상당히 불만족 스럽습니다. 그리고 프로그램이 불안정한지 자꾸 꺼지고요. 파형을 3D로 처리한게 프로그램을 무겁게나하지 무슨 도움이될까 싶고요. 유저가 바라는 건 가볍고 안정적이고 섬세한 편집기능이 우선일듯싶어요. 개선을 기대해봅니다.

Ha corrotto un file della versione precedente

Avevo Okusai 2 e avevo lavorato per mesi ad un brano. La nuova versione ha fatto l’aggiornamento del brano alla nuova versione e dopo alcuni tentativi in cui si bloccava ha cancellato tutto il contenuto. Quindi ho perso mesi di lavoro.
