Ratings and Reviews

False advertising

Says in app purchase but cannot be used without purchase

Developer Response ,

Hello Mum2TwoDarlings,

I'm sorry for any confusion you've experienced. I try to make it clear in the App Store description that a subscription is required for full access to the app's features. However, I understand this can still be surprising. To give users an opportunity to evaluate the app, there is the offer of a free trial if you are new. You have to subscribe but you can cancel before the trial period ends and you won't get charged.

The app aims to provide specialised, premium weather data and tools for drone pilots. This requires ongoing maintenance and data fees, making a subscription necessary. Windsock has been serving the drone community for over 10+ years, and maintaining a sustainable business model is crucial to continue providing this service.

Your feedback is important, and I'll see how I can make the requirement for a subscription even more transparent going forward. I apologise for any inconvenience you've experienced.

Best regards,
Richard
