Lame

Had this game since back in 2011 and now it’s pay to play. Forget that. I even emailed and went through the process to unlock it with no response

One of my favorites

It being a payment plan app ruined the app, make it a one time payed app and it would be good again.

Misleading

I was excited when The Heist was updated to run on 64bit iOS. However, I purchased this full game years ago in the days of iOS 5. What ruins the experience is that you get bombarded with a subscription demand from Game Club and after completing 4 of each levels, you are completely locked out of the game unless you subscribe. Game Clubs response on similar reviews tells the user to email them with previous purchase evidence and they will unlock the full game. Well, I have done this and have heard absolutely nothing. I have complied with their terms and conditions and still, I have no full access to the game. I will be reporting this as a scam to Apple and show them the evidence. Hopefully they can take action against Game Club.

It’s changed..

I had this game YEARS ago when it first came out I had even beat it and unlocked the vault. My son has auditory processing discorded and brain teasers are a great way to help his condition. Sadly I now have to pay $5 a month to play a game I used to have full access to for free? No thank you.

Scam

At a certain level you can’t do anything without paying the premium

Great Puzzle game

I subscribe to GameClub so I can’t comment on the free version. All I can say is that this is a great compilation of puzzle games with an interesting setting of breaking into a vault by solving the puzzles. I’d recommend GameClubs free trial and checking this out along with the rest of the library for sure.

Thanks GameClub

GameClub is honouring those who have previously purchased the apps from the original developers, to unlock the game without subscriptions, while still keeping the game up to date with modern devices.
Thanks GameClub.

it’s so different..

This was an old game I bonded with my dad over years and years ago... it was free back then and it was so well done. There wasn’t levels, there wasn’t experience. You would just play the puzzles. I never got to the end, always getting stuck around level twenty on the sliding wires puzzles. I’ve tried the whole email to get the game back and it does work, they get back to you quickly and they’re very efficient. but because of the fact that it’s turned from a game that you can really get into and really have fun with to one where you have to pay to even get to level four, with an entire library of games that you might not want, it’s not worth buying it unless you do want the huge amount of other games. If you are just now finding this game, I’m so sorry you missed on the old version- but this new version is just as good if you can, do ask to get it back if you’re from the past, it’s still got all the wonderful puzzles from back then, it’s still a good game. And even so, the changes they made are more suited for more modern types of games like this.

Response from developer

I remember seeing your note and we should have already unlocked your game for you — if you haven't heard back from us, please email us at support@gameclub.io and we'll take care of it. Also, if you don't mind telling us more in that email what you mean about the music — we didn't make any changes to the soundtrack, so any information you have on that would be appreciated.

Pretty Mad

Sure it’s a great game but it makes me kinda angry that they put a subscription on the app! I used to play it for free now I have to pay!? No thanks...

Response from developer

Everyone who bought our games previously should continue to have full access to the game without starting a subscription. However, in the case of The Heist, it is no longer possible to detect a previous purchase automatically. Please write us at support@gameclub.io to get it straightened out.

Only a few minutes of gameplay

This game has a few minutes of gameplay before it forces you to subscribe to gameclub and pay $7.99 a month.

Used to be great

I love these games. They are so well done, and I would be willing to pay for it, but I’m thinking $5 one time. Not $5 a month or $30 a year. No. Now you’re just being greedy.

Response from developer

The Heist is part of a larger game subscription service called GameClub — all-you-can-play access to a large library of curated games (including The Heist), with hundreds of hours of gameplay within the subscription. If you've purchased the game in the past, we want to make sure you can still have your original experience without subscribing. Please email us at support@gameclub.io and we'll help you out. Though full access is only included with a subscription, we're committed to letting everyone "try before you buy" — to play enough to get a sense of the game free of charge. We also offer a free trial (that you can cancel at any time) so you can play as many of the games in our library as much as you want before spending any money. Hope you take a look at our other titles to give them a try!

It used to be completely free

I had downloaded this game years ago when it was completely free. After feeling nostalgic and wanting to play it again it now requires a paid subscription. It has plenty of fun puzzles but nothing worth paying for.
