I updated to the latest version but it crashed each time and I can’t use it as usual. My ios is 16.7.16. I’m a long term user and this experience is really disappointing. Please fix it ASAP. Thanks
Very good app but it must be chat in the app
I have already left my review saying this yet now it’s gone—imagine that. *insert eye roll* The push to make people subscribe ESPECIALLY AFTER THEY’VE ALREADY PAID FOR THE APP is as rude as it is annoying. I HATE subscriptions. And companies need to realize subscription fatigue is real. No one likes time. NO ONE. Come up with a better business model. I used to recommend this app to everyone when it was a one time fee—now I warn them not to bother. Greedy!
My free trial ended the next day l subscribed although it shows that it’s supposed to end on July 6 🤷🏻♀️And the screen become all white when l wanted to type that question on the app,so l couldn’t. Besides l find it ridiculous why we need premium just to take 5 minute break.
I updated the app, and completely forgot my old account. It asks me to sign up again. When inputting all my information and verifying my email, I continually get an error message that says “Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.” All that time and money, lost to a broken app.
One of the reasons I bought this app was cause it was a one time purchase, but now they’ve come out with their plus subscription and keep pushing it, which is annoying. Really disappointed, feels like they’re just getting money grabby, would not recommend
Was getting over my annoyance at having Plus features pushed at me during special challenges, new tree options, etc. But now I have to look at it Everytime I check my daily challenge progress? At the top of the list, even? On the bright side, it’s a regular reminder that I need to find a replacement app.
