Marie Lewis, Rochdale

Rating this as 2 stars for moving to a subscription model. Should have created a new app instead of updating the current app.

Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ ​Predatory bait-and-switch. Avoid. Paid £7 one-off for this app, but developers are trying to force a £7/month subscription. They emailed stating original buyers can only keep the app if we disable device updates, and that the legacy app will be wiped from servers. If you reset or upgrade your device, your paid purchase is gone forever. Disgraceful greed. ​Formally reported to Trading Standards via Citizens Advice. Case Ref: CCA-7446108. Families are not recurring piggy banks.

DO NOT BUY The product is moving to a subscription model and you will lose your money. Just got an email about this. It's an absolutely wonderful program, and I've bought it multiple times on multiple devices but in 45 days all of that money goes in the garbage.

After paying for the game, this developer force switches paid users into a subscription model. They should have released their subscription game as a distinct, separate product instead of screwing paid customers. They have excuses for their bad behavior, justifying it with "but now it's free for schools!" (but they're hoping kids will play at school and bug their parents to download the game and until they pay for the outlandish subscription at home). Don't download, don't buy, don't pay.

don't buy this app! they are changing the rules and their app and even though you purchase you won't be able to access what you've purchased once the new app is launched. dishonesty will get you no where.
