app crash

dear support, please fix - app 2026.6.4 on iOS 16 crashing.

Just paid $20 and shortcuts aren’t able to be imported?

I just paid for this. You can’t export any of your shortcuts into the shortcuts app because they don’t allow unsigned shortcuts anymore. I shouldn’t have to develop my own workaround. Please update your app and retune my $

Won’t open

Not trying to bring your rating down or whatever, but it literally crashes right away. iPhone 15 iOS 18.7.2. Hope this helps you fix whatever bug this is.

Well take a look. You can always request support by emailing support@jellycuts.com

Updated review

I received email from the developers indicating they had reconsidered their earlier position on grandfathered licenses. Indeed, I redownloaded the app and find that I appear to have access to the pro features again. However, I’ve moved on from Jellycuts and do not intend to reintegrate it back into my workflow. But I want to acknowledge their movement toward setting things right, so I have added two stars back to my previous rating.

Previous review:

Apple actually has Developer Guideline 3.1.2(a) covering the migration of a paid app to a subscription:

“If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a ‘full game unlock’ continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.”

The new owners intended to ignore this but grudgingly relented in the most inconvenient and annoying manner, and only after customer pushback. They don’t have a “perpetual license” as claimed on some of the developer responses in these reviews. Instead, they will only provide a 6 month or 1 year coupon for a basic subscription, and “perpetually licensed” users will have to remain vigilant to keep refreshing their subscription by pestering the support staff for new coupons before their previous coupon runs out. When I pointed this out, their “solution” was to send me several coupon codes with onerous terms stating that this was a one-time accommodation, that no additional credits will be provided, and that multiple coupons applied would run concurrently (meaning I have to bank the coupons and remember to apply them every year to avoid a paid subscription kicking in, and my “perpetual license” will no longer be honored). This is breathtakingly bad faith.

Any competent developer could enable checking for the non-consumable pro unlocks already purchased by previous buyers. All they would need to do is reenable the Restore Purchases functionality that they have hidden away and check for it just as they check for an active subscription. This is how a good faith company handles legacy license owners. And in fact, the JellyCuts app STILL (as of this writing) contains those non-consumable lifetime pro unlocks. This can be seen by checking the In-App purchases section below in the Information section. The pro unlocks offered by the previous developer are still there. But their engineers have refused to support any kind of in-app license authentication except subscription (this was confirmed to me in email exchanges with their support team), and Apple only allows max 1 year subscriptions.

There can only be one reason for this: they hope to scrape off difficult-to-refund charges from “perpetual license” users being inattentive to their coupons expiring or fed up with having to work to keep them active.

Response from developer

We hear you. Especially as an early supporter. Our goal is to respect what you already paid for while moving the product forward. We haven’t always made that clear. We’re improving how legacy access works so it’s simple and doesn’t feel like something you have to manage. Restore is back up. If you’re open to it, reach out at https://www.jellycuts.com/support we’ll take care of you directly. Thanks for taking the time to say this.
