User reviews

this may be a scam

i think this app could be useful in tracking emotional patterns. i appreciate the privacy aspect as well. i wanted to access the trial version, it asked to pick a subscription package and for a payment method to start the 7 day free trial, i chose the 34.99 annual, ran my card but never unlocked the trial.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your review and thoughtful feedback - it really means a lot and helps us improve Umbra. You're absolutely right, and I sincerely apologize for the experience. This was a bug in an earlier version where the subscription payment went through but the premium features weren't unlocked correctly. This has already been fixed in the latest update (version 1.0.2). I'd love to make this right - I'd like to offer you a complimentary full access code so you can enjoy Umbra without any cost. To send it your way, I just need you to reach out to me at umbra@byarcadia.app. Once you've had a chance to try the updated version, I'd really appreciate it if you could revisit your review - it makes a huge difference for a small indie app like ours. I'd also genuinely love to hear your suggestions and ideas for features you'd like to see. Your perspective on tracking emotional patterns and privacy is exactly the kind of feedback that shapes Umbra's direction. Looking forward to hearing from you!
