Absolutely ridiculous **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for donating your time to  write the feedback.  We understand how frustrating it can be, and  appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few things.  Our  app offers a 3-day free trial, during which you can explore its features. Apple does require a payment method to be added in order to start the free trial, even if no payment is taken during the trial period — this is an App Store requirement and not something we can change on our side. The purpose of requesting your bank details at the start is to streamline the subscription process, help prevent abuse of free trials, and ensure uninterrupted service if you choose to continue after the trial. Rest assured, you have complete control—if you cancel during the free trial period, no payment will be taken. If you need any assistance with cancellation or have further questions, please let us know. Kind regards, Universal Remote • TV Control Support Team ### 5/5 — Mr Travis *2026-08-15, version 1.72* Works great on my phone ### 1/5 — 还不知道能不能用就进行收费，完了之后果然不能用。 *2026-08-15* 刚下载完就收费，我都没看清楚就收钱，我想着能用最好，结果用不了一点，就转圈圈，搜索不出来 **Developer response:** 您好！感谢您抽出时间提交反馈。我们的应用提供免费试用订阅，并提供完整的订阅信息。我们绝不会在未经用户同意的情况下发起任何订阅——未经授权的订阅是不可能的。您的订阅（即使是3天的免费试用）也会自动续订，直到您取消为止。删除应用不会取消您的订阅，也不会停止付款。为避免被收费，您必须在每次续订日期前至少一天取消订阅（即，在免费试用或其他订阅计划结束前24小时）。如果您在免费试用或其他订阅计划结束前24小时内取消订阅，根据App Store政策，您仍将被收取下一个订阅周期的费用。此信息已在我们的App Store预览页面上明确说明。为了尽快解决此问题，请通过电子邮件联系我们的支持团队：support@tvremote-smart.app，并提供详细信息。我们理解这可能会给您带来不便，并将致力于高效地解决此类问题。此致， Universal Remote • TV Control Support Team ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-14, version 1.72* Works like a charm ### 1/5 — horrivel *2026-08-14* tem q pagar caro p ter um controle no celular, absurdo **Developer response:** Olá!
