Predatory Developer Behavior
Seriously don’t consider this app. I may have to delete it. Apparently, they released a subscription-only app (SOA)—independent of this app—and afterwards updated this app to tie in with the SOA. Prior to this, I had bought access to all the games in this app and was extremely happy with the value it brought my child. after the SOA, an update to this app prominently features games from the (SOA), which is only accessible with the subscription. For a toddler—this app’s target market— this is very confusing, and frustrating for both my child and me because these new games aren’t truly available in the same way the older games are. This is predatory because rather than all of the new content being segregated to a different location, it’s mixed in alongside the older content, which my toddler isn’t able to grasp the concept that those new things are not the same as what they’re used to. The developer basically turned a 1-time perpetual purchase app into a mirror for its subscription-only content. I will be requesting a refund because this is clearly bait and switch. They’ve offered this app under one model, then switched to something different that is a replica of a new app they just released.
