Scam!

They charged my card for something I didn’t order!

Awful- especially for a Buddhist app. They’re charging extra money after their initial $29.99 charge in July. Now they’re charging me $24.99 and $39.99 in August just a few days apart

Scam

How does Apple allow such predatory practices on their platform? This app is nothing short of open theft. Stay away from

Response from developer

We are so incredibly sorry for this frustrating experience. You are completely right to be upset—no one should ever feel like an app is taking advantage of them or charging them unfairly. Could you please send an email directly to our team at support@sutara.app? If you share your account details or receipts, we will personally check what happened, make sure any active plans are completely canceled, and help get your money back. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can fix it.

Misleading Subscription System

This app has a confusing subscription system with multiple plans. I thought I had canceled my subscription, but I only canceled the yearly plan and was still being charged for the monthly plan. That kind of setup is misleading and makes it far too easy for users to continue paying unintentionally. Apps with confusing subscription practices like this should not be allowed on the platform.

Response from developer

We are so incredibly sorry for this frustrating experience. You are completely right to be upset—having multiple active plans at the same time is super confusing, and canceling one should never leave you trapped paying for another. We definitely do not want our system to be misleading or make users pay by mistake. We are already taking this feedback to heart to make our plans much clearer so this doesn't happen to anyone else. We want to make this right for you immediately. Could you please send a quick email to our team at support@sutara.app? Just send us your account details, and we will personally make sure every active plan is completely canceled and work with you to refund those extra charges. Thank you for your honest feedback!

Scam

These folks continue to charge my account despite me cancelling over a year ago. Very disorganized. Stay clear
