They Blew It
Edit: Below is a comment I made back in July titled “Don’t Ruin This App. Today I’ve found that all my hopes for this app have been ignored. Hopefully there’s a world where we get a free, local storage cleaner with no ads for a flat fee. Sadly, this is not that. Please don’t waste your time with this app. Previously titled: Don’t Ruin This App!! Here’s the thing, I LOVE THIS APP. Compared to all the other ones out there, this is definitely the one. But of course, there’s a lot of room to go wrong: If you look at the comments on any of the competing apps out there, here’s how this works…They start off by releasing this amazing app that hooks LOADS of good reviews, and guess what, it’s free…for now. When they get thousands of amazing 4 & 5 star reviews, these company’s pull out the rug from their audience and start introducing either ads or paywalls into the app. Sure, there’s a “free” version, but it’s basically unusable. Now, all the terrible reviews that come in won’t damage their reputation in the App Store, luring more people to download their app. To the developers of this app, PLEASE don’t do this. I’d totally just pay a flat fee for this app. There are too many apps out there with subscription plans and sketchy marketing tactics, please don’t be them. Break the chain.
