Changes for Linear

This is the second time I have the “luck” to meet a software as a service app disguised as a free download. I don’t see it referenced anywhere on the product page that this is a subscription based paid app. You can not do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING in the app without subscribing to a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription to get access. The prices are pervasively high for an app that is just a client side wrapper of another service with no recurring monthly fees. You are also nefariously tricked into connecting your linear account to the app BEFORE it shows you that in order to do anything else you’ll have to also pay a subscription fee. A trial period is not a redeeming feature, I see it I’m OUT. I’m not gonna bother with the app even for 3 days. I’ve never felt the need to write an app review in 10+ years but this was too much. Do not download this.

App requires a subscription fee, which would be fine if it said anywhere that there was a subscription fee prior to installing and authenticating with linear. Pretty deceptive. I immediately uninstalled and revoked access.

I can’t keep paying subscriptions for simple apps. Guess I’ll just go back to the web app.

The features work as advertised, but this app charges you $4.99 per week to unlock all features, expecting you won’t notice. I’m not paying $20 a month to use a third-party app that wants to trick me into paying more

I should have been more careful. I signed in and realized this is paid and not from Linear itself.

You have to sign in and then you hit a paywall. Erased the app immediately.

Paid app with no free tier, just a 7 day trial After downloading the app it prompted me to sign in to which I signed in to my work account and authorized into my company’s workspace. ONLY THEN did it reveal that its a paid subscription app, if I knew it’d be like this I wouldn’t have authorized it into the workspace. If it did reveal the subscription paywall early on before signing in and authorization I would have just uninstalled, but giving it access and only then it would hold me at payment threw me away and forced me to write this review.

The app lets you download for free and even link your Linear account before prompting you to pay for a monthly subscription service to use any of the features beyond reading data. This is borderline scamming. There is nowhere on the store page that mentions this. Not to mention, the underlying service is already free! Uninstalled.

This is a terrible app. It’s a decent attempt at a workaround until you actually try to use it. Free is probably fine for read, but it breaks down almost everywhere and absolutely doesn’t warrant a paid plan

I’m so happy you found her
