Tellby

WHAT THIS APP IS Tellby is an AI audio travel guide. It plays narrated guides for places in 47 cities, triggered by GPS as you walk, or on demand. SUBSCRIPTION PURCHASE ERROR (answering Guideline 2.1(b), Sept 9 review) Thank you for the detailed report. We found the cause and it was on our side, outside the binary. Our Paid Applications Agreement had lapsed on August 18, 2026. Without it, StoreKit returns no products and every purchase fails before reaching our servers - our payment logs show zero purchase attempts on the review date, which matches exactly. The Account Holder signed the current agreement on September 9, 2026; it is now Active for all countries and regions, and our bank account and tax forms were already active. Build 80 also fixes a related defect: when StoreKit returned no products, the purchase screen fell back to server prices and still showed an enabled button, which produced the generic error you saw when tapped. In build 80 a plan StoreKit does not return is shown as unavailable and cannot be tapped, and the failure is reported to our monitoring instead of being swallowed. Subscription products, for reference: Tellby Monthly com.humblekim.cased.sub.monthly (group: Tellby Premium) Tellby Yearly com.humblekim.cased.sub.yearly (group: Tellby Premium) IN-APP PURCHASES - PRICING (answering Guideline 3.0.0 Business) We confirm that "Tellby Lifetime" at $219.99 USD is the intended price. It is not a typo or a decimal error. The full price list: Travel Pass (13 days) $12.99 com.humblekim.cased.pass13d Monthly $9.99 com.humblekim.cased.sub.monthly Yearly $69.99 com.humblekim.cased.sub.yearly Lifetime $219.99 com.humblekim.cased.lifetime $219.99 is roughly 22 months of the monthly plan, priced as a long-horizon alternative to the subscriptions rather than a cheap one-off. Generation costs real compute (text-to-speech billed per character), so each tier includes a capped allowance of generated guides - 3 / 6 per month / 40 per year / 100 - shown on the purchase screen before purchase. A free plan is available, so the app can be reviewed without any purchase. WHAT THE FREE PLAN INCLUDES For the 454 curated landmark places across 47 cities, the first audio section is already generated in English. Playing it triggers generation of the next at our cost - no purchase required and no user allowance consumed. The paid allowances apply to guides the user generates for their own curations. TESTING THE CORE FEATURE Location-triggered playback needs GPS. Indoors, open any place and press play - the same audio plays on demand. Verified places with audio ready: Paris - Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe Seoul - Myeong-dong, Gyeongbokgung Palace Japan - Tokyo Imperial Palace, Shuri Castle Thailand - Wat Arun, Khaosan Road SIGNING IN No demo account needed. Tap "Sign in with Apple" on the launch screen - an account is created automatically. "Continue as guest" also works. There is no email/password login in this build. TESTING PURCHASES Receipt validation tries production first and falls back to sandbox automatically, so sandbox purchases during review validate correctly. We can provide a promo code for the Lifetime product on request. PERMISSIONS (5.1.1, resolved in build 79) Purpose strings name the feature and the moment access is asked for. Photo library, camera and microphone are requested only in response to a tap, never on screen load. The app can be browsed without an account. BACKGROUND LOCATION Background location starts a guide automatically when the user walks near a place. It is opt-in, explained before any system prompt, and toggleable in the app's Settings. The app is fully usable with the permission denied. AI-GENERATED CONTENT Guide text is AI-generated and labeled as such in the app (EU AI Act). Audio is synthesized speech, not a recording of a real person. CONTACT humblecmk@gmail.com
