Response from developer

It was 11.99€, now it's 7.99. You can purchase Mate Pro in the app settings.

サブスクの返金がされない

意図せず更新してしまったので返金リクエストを送ったところ、「比例配分により返金済み」と。確認したところ支払い方法元には金額分返ってきてなく、もう一度問い合わせを送ったところ「返金対応は終わりました」の一点張り。結局お金は返ってきませんでした。

課金前提だった2026/9/29

気軽に使えるのかと思ったからインストール。
確かに無料のお試し期間書いてあったけど、最初から課金する前提だったからアプリ消した。
