Completely unusable

The entire app is behind a paywall, completely unusable if you’re not going to pay

Response from developer

Hi, I hear you, and that’s been fixed. I’ve listened to the feedback and there’s now a completely free version, supported by a few ads, so the app is fully usable without paying. The paid option is still there for anyone who wants to support development and remove ads, but it’s entirely optional. Just update to the latest version and you’ll have full access for free.

Sketchy

This app will have you sign into your psn account, then make you choose a subscription plan to use the app. Absolutely nonsense. Don’t download

Response from developer

Hi, I understand the frustration and I’m sorry the app left that impression. This has changed: I’ve listened to the feedback and there’s now a completely free version, supported by a few ads, so you don’t need any subscription to use it after signing in. The paid plan is still there for anyone who wants to support development and remove ads, but it’s entirely optional. If you give the latest version a try, you’ll be able to use the app for free.

Just a big disappointment now..

The app was supposed to be free, but now they're springing a paid plan on us after we were already invested. It's frustrating, especially since we recommended it to others. Now, it feels like we've all been duped.

Response from developer

Hi, I hear you, and I’m sorry it came across that way. I’ve listened to the feedback: there’s now a completely free version, supported by a few ads, so you and everyone you recommended it to can keep using it without paying. The paid lifetime option is still there for anyone who wants to support development and remove ads, but it’s entirely optional, no forced payments and no lockouts. Thanks for backing the app and spreading the word.

Rug pull

Downloaded this app ~3 months ago when the creator posted about it in the r/trophies subreddit. Wanted to support a fellow completionist. In the post, it mentioned being *100% free with no ads and no hidden payments* but now just 3 months later I open the app and am hit with payment options as high as $39.99 for a lifetime membership. The post's comments said "I built it [the app] simply for the love of trophies and to learn along the way." It seems that wasn't true whatsoever and greed consumed this individual and now wants to charge an absurd $39.99 to just pull trophy data from PSN. Complete joke and deleting the app immediately. Good riddance.

Hi, I’ve heard the feedback loud and clear. There’s now a completely free version of the app, supported by a few ads, so everyone can enjoy it. The PRO option is still there for anyone who wants to support development and remove ads, but it’s entirely optional, no forced payments and no lockouts. Thanks for being an early supporter.

Outrageously priced

I understand the developers needs to fund his app, but there aren’t any features here that really justify the cost over a lifetime PSNP subscription which is 3x cheaper. Until some new features are introduced, or the paywall gets removed, I probably won’t be using this app.

Forcing pro on people

Why am I being forced now to do pro? Been using this app for like 2 months and a half and now I can’t do anything unless I upgrade to pro….

Response from developer

I get that this is not the change you wanted. I kept the app free as long as I could and started with a voluntary Pro tier to try to sustain it. After two months, there were more than 2,000 users and only 3 financial supporters, so I can’t keep paying for servers and maintenance myself. The app is now paid at a fair rate. My apologies for any upset.

False Promises

Super disappointing. I came across this app after reading the developer’s repeated, glowing promise of a 100% free to use application. Less than 2 months in, and all the promises of a free application are long gone, locked behind a paywall. I would have tolerated advertisements to help support the developer (I get it, I really do), but immediately upon loading the application, I’m harassed about buying an annual subscription. The app in its current state is completely unusable without a subscription. I tried the free trial to give the creator the benefit of the doubt, and trophy information wasn’t even correctly synching.

My apologies for any upset. The issue where trophy information wasn’t correctly syncing has been fully resolved. It was only a temporary server-side outage.

Paywalled

Changed his app from freemium to 100% paywalled. Super lame

Response from developer

I appreciate the honesty. I kept things free for as long as it was feasible and tried an optional Pro so backing the app was voluntary. After two months, with over 2,000 users and only 3 supporters, I can’t fund hosting and upkeep out of pocket anymore. I’ve moved to paid access at a fair price. Sorry for the frustration this causes.

PlatSeekers is now a Premium App?!?!

After the most recent update you have to pay 1.99 monthly, 14.99 yearly, or a one time fee of 40.00 to use the app. I thought this app was going to be the new trophy hunting site, but it has let me down.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. I kept the app free for as long as I possibly could. I first tried an optional Pro subscription so support could remain voluntary. After two months, more than 2,000 people were using the app and only 3 chose to support the project. I can’t continue covering server and maintenance costs out of pocket, so I’ve moved to a paid model at what I believe are fair prices. I understand this change is frustrating, and I’m truly sorry if it has disappointed you. Thank you for using the app and for sharing your thoughts.

Nice, but not as a monthly subscription

I didn’t use this enough when it had no paywall, but the app seemed nice if a bit simple. But it was functional, which was the main point.

I can’t justify a monthly subscription for an app like this, when there are other free alternatives.

Don’t use

I used this for 2 months without needing to pay, now I can’t even open up the app without being forced to pay for platseeker pro, why should I have to pay to simply look at my stats? A real shame

Unable to use app

Unable to use the app after the latest update. Can’t exit the paywall when nothing is premium

Response from developer

Totally get the concern. The plan was to remain free, which is why I started with an optional Pro support if you wanted. Two months in, there were 2,000+ users and just 3 supporters, and I can’t continue covering infrastructure and maintenance myself. I’ve set a paid model at what I think are fair rates. Apologies if this change let you down.

Recent update broke the app

Most recent update has forced you to pay or try the free trial for pro. Can’t close the pop up, rendering the app useless.

Response from developer

I understand where you’re coming from. I kept the app free as long as my budget allowed and tested an optional Pro tier first. After two months, more than 2,000 users relied on it but only 3 supported it, so I can’t keep paying the bills personally. I’ve moved to a reasonably priced paid version. I’m sorry for any disappointment.

No longer a free app

No longer a free app after latest update. Paywall cannot be cancelled

Response from developer

You’re right that there used to be a free version. I kept it that way as long as possible and started with an optional Pro to avoid a paywall. With 2,000+ users and only 3 supporters after two months, I can’t sustainably pay the costs myself. The app now has a paid plan I believe is fair. I’m sorry if this shift disappointed you.

Can’t use app anymore

Paywall screen can’t be closed without paying, please update the app

Response from developer

I hear you, sudden paywalls are frustrating. I ran the app free as long as it was viable and started with an optional Pro tier to keep it that way. After two months with 2,000+ users and just 3 supporters, I can’t continue funding the servers and upkeep out of pocket. I’ve switched to a paid plan at what I consider fair pricing. Sorry for the letdown.

Latest update

Great app, but since the latest update I can’t use the app without subbing to pro.

A must buy for people that love stats!

This app is incredible, from auto displaying hidden trophies, to hiding auto popped trophies. The level of insight on your trophy collection progress is second to none. Appreciate the developer having to enforce a purchase price given the costs associated with running and upkeep but for me it’s well worth the price. Puts PlayStation’s app to shame which can’t even search trophies my game! It’s as close to PSNprofiles as you can get in an app. Once more guides are included for trophy hunters this app will be perfection in my opinion.

Can’t use the app after latest update

There’s no way of closing the paywall page upon opening the app unless you actually pay which right now there’s no point as no features are locked behind it.

Response from developer

After two months, there were over 2,000 users and only 3 chose to support, so I can’t keep covering server and maintenance costs personally. I’ve moved to a paid model at prices I believe are fair. I know this change is disappointing, and I’m sorry.

Fantastic for trophy hunters!

Awesome organization for your platinums. Overall a fantastic app for any trophy hunter

Best PlayStation trophy app

It’s the best app I’ve found and it saves me having to use a spread sheet, it would be better if it auto synced but still brilliant
