Спасибо за такой добрый отзыв! 😊 Ты совершенно прав — прогулки должны быть удовольствием, а не скукой. Именно для этого я и создал MistyWay. Очень рад, что приложение помогает! Спасибо, что со мной! Nikolai Создатель MistyWay ### 2/5 — Paywalled. *2026-08-26* 3000 steps per day limit on free version. Unfortunate as this has real opportunity. However there’s better, comparable, options for free and/or substantially better monetisation schemes. **Developer response:** Thanks for the candid feedback. On the free version, MistyWay records every step, but only 3,000 per day advance the journey. Premium removes that daily progress cap. The full story is still available for free, but progression is slower. I understand why that feels restrictive, and your point about the monetisation model is fair. I’m reviewing that balance. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 3/5 — Ummm *2026-08-25* I came to this app from a blog stating the app was completely free. So after gaining all access to my personal information, the app then asks for you to pay and no way to bypass for the “free” that was offered. Don’t download this app if you are willing to pay $80 a year for access. I was really excited to use the app and it looks great so I will give 3 stars for presentation. **Developer response:** Good news, your "completely free" version already exists. The full MistyWay story is free to play, no payment unlocks chapters or continues the journey. Premium is optional and only adds capabilities like removing your daily journey-progress cap. On the confusion, if the app made it feel like payment was required, that is on me and not on you. Worth another look now that you know the whole story is free. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 4/5 — Good game but slight bother *2026-08-24* So I have had this game for a bit over a month and have loved it so much as I have stated in a previous review but my new slight bother is you can’t fully ever see the quest story expect for the initial show and acceptance. It also would be nice to be able to have a cleaner gifting option and to have the pacts back because I thought they were quite entertaining for a challenge with a friend and motivator. But besides those small complaints, I have loved it and am no longer having issues with the steps so thank you and amazing app!❤️ **Developer response:** Charlie, you were right that quest chapters were too easy to miss. MistyWay 3.2.14 is live now, and every chapter you have opened can be replayed from Hero’s Notes, including its illustration and reveal video. Gifting and pacts still need more work, so I will not pretend this update solves everything. Thank you for the sharp feedback and for sticking with MistyWay. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 1/5 — Please remove the AI Slop *2026-08-12* I’m extremely disappointed to have paid premium for an app using AI slop for their quest images. It looks bad and it’s disrespectful. Paying a real artist to do a few quest illustrations *is* affordable, especially when you already are selling customization options. Please consider removing the AI slop, I liked the app and I don’t want to have to stop using it. **Developer response:** Update since you wrote this. You said paying a real artist for a few quest illustrations was affordable, and you were right. The quest art is drawn by hand now, by Zaruhi Shamiryan, who draws and refines every scene, and the generated images are gone. Thank you for saying it plainly enough that I could not argue with it. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 4/5 — Классное приложение *2026-08-08* Можно ли пожалуйста добавить ещё какой нибудь способ оплаты, хочу купить подписку, но не могу оформить 🥹 **Developer response:** Обидно, но методы оплаты определяет Apple, а не приложение. Обходной путь есть, друг может подарить тебе год Premium. Вы оба должны быть друзьями в MistyWay, дальше он открывает твой профиль, жмёт Gift Premium и платит через свой App Store. Подарок не продлевается автоматически. Если понадобится помощь, пиши на support@mistyway.app Nikolai Создатель MistyWay ### 2/5 — Deleted because…… *2026-07-26* A cute concept is not even close to a good reason to spend fifty bucks annually or to pay more for weekly by the end of a year! Oh and I deleted it immediately upon reading the “free” versions severe lack of features allows 3000 steps no more a day unless you dig a chunk Outta that paycheck then someone might b nice and show some support if you need it. Anyway deleted almost the second I opened it bc it was greedier than the reviews could describe.WHATTA SHAME, greed literally Rollins everyone and everything. Not about to let users pay once, they want us to bleed cash. **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the candid feedback. The free tier has a daily cap on steps that advance journey progress, but MistyWay still records your full step total. Premium removes that journey-progress cap. If you want, email me at support@mistyway.app with what felt unclear, and I’ll take a look. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 4/5 — Good game but issue with tracking all steps *2026-07-24* So I have had this game for almost two weeks and I have the premium but the issue I have found is sometimes it won’t track all my steps so I’ll lose out on 200-400 steps which could go towards quests and the whole challenge and I was wondering if there was a way to fix that cause it bothers me a bit but otherwise it’s an amazing and such a beautiful design! **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the kind words and for flagging this. If some steps are missing, I’d like to look into it. Please email me at support@mistyway.app with your device model, OS version, and a short screen recording if you can. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 3/5 — Great idea bad pricing model *2026-07-18* This is a well designed app and a great idea but having a yearly subscription at 50 dollars absolutely ridiculous. A one time fee of 50 dollars for permanent access would be pushing it. But 50 dollars every year is just nasty corporate greed. Not everything should be a subscription. There are way too many already. Back in the day you would pay a one time fee for something and then own it. You wouldn’t spend 50 dollars a year to rent a video game. Why in the world do we do it with apps? Gross 👎 **Developer response:** Thank you for saying the pricing part plainly, and for the design compliment underneath it. Subscription fatigue is real and I take the point. What exists today is this, MistyWay stays usable without paying, and one friend can gift another a year of Premium as a single purchase with no auto-renewal on the receiving side. Not a lifetime unlock, but it is a one-payment route that exists right now. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay ### 5/5 — Great App better Develper *2026-07-12* I’ve been using it for a while and had a good streak going on the app. Then one day I lost it from a sync issue and the developer went and fixed it in a few hours for me. So that was super nice. I’d recommend the app for anyone. **Developer response:** Thank you. Getting that sync issue sorted before it cost you the streak was a good day, those are the fixes worth dropping everything for. Thanks for recommending MistyWay.
