Gekauft und nun Abo

Absoluter Betrug. Als Vollversion gekauft und jetzt soll es plötzlich ein abartig teures Abo sein? Was soll der Quatsch?

Greedy Scam

Purchased App years ago and no new features have been added. All information on here is scraped off of Gatherer.c om. Nothing new is provided by the app. And now they want to charge you a subscription fee after paying in full for that app, or they won’t “update” it with new cards a rules. No work is done on their end. It’s just a copy paste of the rules. Total scam. They should shut this app down and start a new one, but they know no one will use the new one if they have to pay a second time. Scummy tech people, finding a way to charge you to use an app you bought in full years ago.

Premium app no more

Paid for this app quite a few years back with the expectation it would be supported for the price I paid. Instead the dev wants to charge for information Wizards makes available for free and other apps make available for free. Bye!

Now Paywalled.

Moved to subscription, now not usable after purchasing the app. Terrible.
