Recs: Places Made Simple

I was so excited to see this app. It was exactly what I was looking for but I just can’t justify the pay wall. Hopefully it’ll change in the future so I can use this.

I loved this app, it was great concept and very simple. I could finally save all of my IG and TikTok recommendations in one place. It took a few week for me to compile all the recs from my screenshots and places people recommended to me, but I finally had a master list. So imagine my surprise and disappointment when I open up my app to discover this brilliant app, with all of my curated places, is now hidden behind a pay wall! I refuse to pay for something so simple. I would've been fine with ads, but they want you to pay to make a list, see other's recommendations, write notes etc?! I can't even get past this pay wall to see my previously saved recs! I have to pay $2 to look at the places I saved before the paywall is as introduced. I don't subscribe to apps with the exception of sometimes learning, school, and music. What ever happened to apps grand fathering in subscriptions? I'm abandoning this app until the creators remove the paywall.

I did really love this app but it was changed to a subscription model which doesn’t seem fair because I downloaded it far before it was a subscription. I used to love this app but idk.

Use it for all noteworthy bars, cafes, places to eat and more. Great way to keep places organized on a map.

Before moving to the subscription platform, the app was great! More people were using it and you were able to discover places often. Now I barely see anything new. Mind you, I am paying the .99 cent sub for Day One but I still don’t feel like that’s worth it, sadly. Maybe Day One users should have been kept free and new users .99 cent? I dunno, but it’s not the same vibe now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It had a long way to go before it was a good app for free, now they want monthly subscribers. It would maybe be worth a one time purchase of $5 but not $2 monthly. Also terrible way to get new people to join and add recs.

Who are you fooling?? The amount of money this costs for a question that google answers for free.

for another subscription??? This is my first app review ever I’m so upset about this. I loved this app for the cute interface and to keep a note of where I wanted to go, but now all of that is behind a paywall. I can’t even look at what I had saved. Deleted this app right after updating.

I thought it was a good idea while the app was free to use, but now that it’s requiring another subscription, I’m deleting the app. I see no reason to charge money for a service of finding something interesting to do while a free Google search can do the same.

cute app, used it before it got a monthly subscription:/ made me lose interest in it, kinda no point in using it anymore, i'd now rather use my notes app to type my "want to go"'s im just disappointed now
