I’ve had several apps of this nature and haven’t liked all of them, so I don’t wanna waste the money if I can’t even get a taste of what there is to offer. I get it, it’s only 2 bucks but it’s the principle of it. From previous reviews people have made comments like it’s dull, or lackluster. If I have a mandatory sub, it should offer something other free social with platforms don’t. I may be back with an ad option or a free sub to see for myself, but deleted it so fast. ### 1/5 — Stop The Manual Subscription *2023-04-11, version 4.5.1* Honestly the point of the subscription as written on the app is to be ad free, but because it forces you to buy the subscription that means the app isn’t actually using ads to begin with. The terminology just looks pleasing but is actually lying to you since there isn’t actually any option to use the app with ads. This dishonesty makes me question the apps creators. They don’t seem like very trustworthy people if they have to spin a yarn right off the bat like that. Doesn’t make me feel comfortable giving them any of my info. Please be careful if you’re buying from them. ### 1/5 — Can’t use without subscription *2023-03-10, version 3.68.1* It won’t let you get past the option to subscribe for no add without paying for it. The only other options are to logout or delete your account. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Content Locked Behind A Paywall *2022-11-17, version 3.64.3* I downloaded this app and registered for an account and got a page that said that I needed to subscribe for $1.99 a month in order to “access ad-free content in the app” but unfortunately it doesn’t seem as though there’s any option to enjoy the app for free WITH ads. There isn’t any option to close out of that screen and I’ve even tried hard closing the app and logging out and going back in and I’m still not able to access anything without agreeing to be charged monthly. I wanted to use this app because I joined the corresponding Facebook group and it seemed like a cool resource but it looks like I won’t be using this app after all. ### 1/5 — Subscription Only/No Free Features *2022-11-13, version 3.64.3* You can only use the app if you subscribe for $2/mo. There aren’t any basic features you can use for free. As soon as you sign up, you’re prompted to subscribe. The prompt continues to show up even after reopening the app. ### 1/5 — Seems like a scam to me *2022-10-27, version 3.64.3* Not only does it ask you to pay $1.99 / month to use the app but it also won’t let you delete your account without weird notifications, followed by it asking you to enter your password in all caps (why?! Nowhere I’ve ever seen asks you to enter a password in all caps to delete it.) Might not be a big deal but definitely seems like a scam to me. You download the app, allowing it to gain access to your device as well as accepting their terms and agreements (that we hardly ever read over ahead of time) only to create a username and password and get hit with a paywall you can’t opt out of. I’d give no stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Pay wall *2022-10-23, version 3.64.3* When you say there is a subscription to access the whole app, what you really mean to say is you can’t even get IN to see what your paying for. While the monthly fee is only $1.99, I try not to spend my money frivolously and buying something without even getting to see what I’m buying is irresponsible. Reading through other reviews there are many who feel the same way. Why not at least offer a free trial so people can at least see what the app has to offer before agreeing to a monthly subscription? Just seems a waste to offer a community for witches but throw a pay wall in their face after creating their account. ### 1/5 — Tries to charge straight away *2022-09-30, version 3.63.2* App tries to charge you before you can even see what you are buying! You don’t get to see anything. Deleted straight away ### 1/5 — help *2022-09-26, version 3.63.2* i just downloaded this app, i was very excited, but after i got done making my account it brought me to this screen where it tells you about the monthly subscription, i don’t know if it’s just me and im too dumb to figure out how to get off this screen, or if i have to buy the subscription in order to use the app?? There’s no X button or a way to get out of this subscription screen, please help!! Or make a more obvious way for me to get out so i can actually use the app!! ### 1/5 — Not free *2022-09-11, version 3.63.2* This literally forces you to buy it or you can’t use it. This shouldn’t be counted as “free” just but the 1.99 as the price shown ### 1/5 — Not Free *2022-09-01, version 3.60.2* $1.99 monthly. Unable to anything, shouldn’t be set as a free app. ### 1/5 — Scammish.. *2022-08-22, version 3.60.2* There is nothing without a subscription, so unless you plan on subscribing without seeing a preview of what content is available it’s a waste of a download. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Love the concept but…. *2026-06-22, version 4.63.1* Every time I open the app it gives an error message and tries to reload on repeat until I shut it down. If you have anything similar, hmu this sounds like a wonderful community. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2025-10-12, version 4.63.1* Everything is locked behind a paywall, no free trial or anything so I can’t even see if I would actually use this app. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2025-04-12, version 4.56.8* Can’t delete my account ### 1/5 — Paywall *2025-03-18, version 4.56.8* All I’m able to see is the page for a month subscription. I already subscribed and have even tried hitting restore purchase and nothing happens. Needs fixed. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-02-06, version 4.28.1* It won’t open. Can’t use and can’t contact anyone. Worked great till the $12 charge now won’t open. ### 1/5 — The paywall *2023-12-31, version 4.5.1* I’ve seen some content locked behind a paywall but not a full subscription requirement before. Maybe only put some things behind a paywall. How am I supposed to know if this is a good fit for me if I can’t test it out first? ### 1/5 — Paywall for ENTIRE APP???!? *2023-12-20, version 4.5.1* That idea is SO DUMB!! Just make it a -supported since tall bring it up on the splash screen!! There's an economic crisis rn, do you really think we got the extra money for your paywall? ### 1/5 — Paywall ruined it for me *2023-10-26, version 4.5.1* Any app that goes straight to a pay prompt without letting you at least get a 7 day trial to see if it’s worth it to them seems incredibly sus. I’m sad, I hear such good things about this app, but I really don’t want to pay for something I have no idea if I’m going to enjoy/ use regularly or not. ### 1/5 — Pay before even seeing the rest of the app? *2023-08-02, version 4.5.1* I really wanted to try this app and next thing I know I create an account, and it says I can pay for an ad-free experience. I logged out and closed the app to try and get off the screen and nothing worked I couldn’t use the app without paying so I decided to not pay and just delete the app. If you offer an ad-free experience I feel there should be the option to use the app with adds. I’ve seen other reviews saying this from a year ago and there has been no response or change to the app. ### 1/5 — They couldn’t keep their promise! *2023-05-01, version 4.5.1* When I got the subscription it was £0.79. After a while they decided to raise the membership price, and informed us about it saying those that have already been a member with the £0.79/$0.79 will still be able to keep being a member. It was ONLY for the new members… But all of a sudden, yesterday I opened the app and saw nothing but a message to subscribe to the new price which is £1.99 monthly, and I have 2 options; subscribe or delete account!!!😐 What a shame! This behavior from such a spiritual and pure community…! I’m just disappointed and will defo delete my account and take my vibe out of this 👋🏼 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes! *2024-05-19, version 4.28.1* Finally the app for me! ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2024-02-10, version 4.28.1* I absolutely LOVE Witchbook. A place where I’m truly free to share my stories and be myself. A place where I can connect with new magical friends. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2024-02-01, version 4.28.1* I love this community!!! ### 5/5 — Greatest app ever *2023-04-30, version 4.5.1* This is the best app ever even better than Facebook. I am finding all kinds of things already and learning so much more. I am also meeting the nicest people ever who are true and real. I am so very happy and really enjoy it. I highly recommend this app to any witches that are looking to connect and share information with real people. ### 5/5 — Updates *2023-03-30, version 4.5.1* Hey! I love this app, but someone mentioned making the app more personalization accessible to our profiles as well as making the messaging system better to where we can send stuff in pics to our friends. I thought it was a good idea and maybe wanted to mention it to the creators of the app. (: ### 5/5 — Future Updates? *2023-02-23, version 3.68.1* The idea of a witchy social media app is fantastic and I’m glad I found it. Off the bat, I’d like to mention the mandatory subscription you have to have in order to use the app. Luckily it’s very cheap and I understand the developers need to make money somehow. After that though, the app seems a little dull but the people I’ve interacted with have been very pleasant. I’m giving 5 stars because it seems like a newer app and I HOPE to see more in the future of the overall layout and way the app works. Like maybe allowing people profiles to have a bio section, a background photo and a better newsfeed layout. Add more diverse groups or a better area to just post random things instead of it needing to be in a specific group. If I want to just post a cute photo of my altar or what’s making me feel witchy at the moment, it’s hard to decide what group to post it. Overall I think it’s a great start and I really hope to see more from the app in the future! ### 5/5 — Facebook, for Witches *2022-10-12, version 3.64.3* I’ve been enjoying the app for about three days now. While it could be improved by separate feeds for each individual, I do understand why the Admins went the route of mandatory group feeds and it hasn’t detracted from my experience (thus the rating). My additional suggestion would be to allow users to create additional groups, or to at least provide a “general” group for everyday happenings of a more mundane variety for selfies, daily updates, and similar content. However I am really enjoying the exclusively witchy content that is being shared! I will be a long-time subscriber. ### 5/5 — BEST WITCH COMMUNITY APP EVER! *2022-07-22, version 3.59.2* I absolutely adore this app! I have met so many great witches and if I ever have an issue with another user they take care of it immediately! The Admin for this app are incredible and respond to your inquiries immediately. I am so happy I found this community I don’t know what I would do without my witchy family! Thank you WitchBook! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-06-20, version 3.54.6* I had some issues at first getting the app to allow me to create an account. I’m not sure what that was about, but I was finally able to make one. I’m enjoying scrolling through and seeing people like me! Like with most forms of social media, you still have to be careful with information people pass on. Overall, a great way to connect with other witches! ✨ ### 5/5 — Slow start but great group. *2022-06-09, version 3.54.6* It takes a couple of minutes to get onto the app, to post anything and to check notifications. Otherwise I enjoy the community and the sharing of information. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
