Экран закрыть невозможно. Плати или уходи. Нужно покупать кота в мешке, не глядя, просто по описанию. Есть функция тест-драйва, но только после привязки карты, с которой могут списать деньги. Может приложение и не плохо, не знаю, не дали посмотреть. Но горе-маркетологи намудрили так, что 99% людей просто будет уходить после загрузки приложения где только один экран «Плати 999₽ за неделю секундомера». **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за отзыв! Вы можете пропустить шаг оформления подписки, закрыв экран с Премиум-предложением, пользоваться приложением бесплатно, просматривая рекламу. Подписка необходима только для доступа к дополнительным функциям. Если у вас есть вопросы или вам нужна помощь, пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по электронной почте support@appenvisions.com.

Once you download you’re immediately hit with ads to pay or “upgrade” to premium before you have a chance to even see the app! It’s confusing. So I guess I’ll delete it and find another. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback! You can close the start page and use the app for free.

Alas, I was again disappointed. What’s especially fishy is that you cannot use the free version of the app without subscribing to the paid version first. If you decide to use the three day trial, you have to lock in the more expensive weekly 13€ subscription, which comes out to about €650 annually, for a stopwatch… Super shady in my opinion. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you very much for your request, please note that the subscription will not be activated automatically. You may have taken a free period for the premium version and not canceled it during the trial period. When you subscribe, it will indicate that this is an auto-renewal service.

Don’t believe the responses to the reviews on here. There is NO option to skip the start page and not enter your payment information. So tired of stuff like this…. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback! You can continue to use the app for free by skipping the subscription stage.

The subscription page pops up every time you open the app😭literally an app for pressing a button to keep track of time and they want money every time you use it. Wild. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback! The subscription for the app is optional and only made with the user's consent, and you can use it for free. If you're experiencing any difficulties, please email us at support@appenvisions.com with a description of the issue. We will do our best to assist you as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Not clear how to access free version *2026-02-04* The developers should consider changing what it says on the subscription page, which you can only move on from by selecting from 3 options: a "free trial", the actual subscription, or a weird 3-day free trial then weekly subscription. I'm assuming based on their comments in the reviews that the "free trial" option is probably the one they mean is actually free forever, but because it's labelled "trial" I'm not sure if that's actually the case so I didn't want to bother in case I have to deal with unsubscribing later. If it is truly the free forever option then it should be labelled as such, or at least have an option to close/skip that screen (there was no X button to close, couldn't swipe out of it, no skip button etc) Very poor UX and really unfortunate because the UI looked like what I wanted out of a timer app (mostly with the circle visual) **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback!
