Infltr - Infinite Filters 4+

Like many people have already stated, after you pay for the Pro features, they never fully unlock. I reached out to the developers and they sent an automated message showing me how to cancel my subscription but did NOT offer a refund. This is unfair as I was never able to use the app Pro features that I paid for. I canceled the subscription and now I’m reporting it to Apple. It’s a misuse of the platform.

But the owners supplied prompt and precise information to have it removed. I think charges should be prominently displayed in the product description, and if it’s a trial, send the client a heads up in a text.

In my case, I should have made certain about the Terms, and waited until I had more time to try it and experiment. I think I used it on a few photos, didn’t see much difference from the app I was using, then forgot about returning to it. For such a price, a longer trial period might have changed my mind.

I think Apple should pay more attention what’s going on in their store - short trials, exorbitant monthly or yearly recurrence, and in one case of a game recently, there was NO MENTION of a fee in the description (yes, I scoured the site), and I was shocked at its price. I never even played it, there was no way to contact the owners (Apple refunded)...but I wonder how many people were too embarrassed to ask for a refund? That must have been some game!

I’m sorry, I didn’t intend to rant on this gracious owner’s page. I’m sure this will develop into a desirable, much sought-after app. Work on some really unusual, creative filters that a user can’t easily create on their own. Give a little longer Trial, and think about charging the whole amount in one sum. People like to think they own their Apps!

Now how did I manage to subscribe to this app when I never even opened it? And, no, I did so for a YEAR!??! So it wasn’t just a matter of opening it once and it slipping my mind. When the year is up I will own absolutely NOTHING! Somehow this has never ever happened to me before!

Hmmm.

So I'm out NINETEEN dollars! $19

A fine app with an outstanding reputation, an intuitive one, like Pixelmator Pro, costs about $6 and there is no subscription. I own the app now. They won’t keep milking me. They respect their customers. An even exchange. I recommend it; I’ve been into photography for quite some time.

I checked out Infltr's website. Two thirty second videos promoting their app. I was hoping for tutorials or some sort of information the customer can use. Nope!

Just NOT worth nineteen dollars! Each year...

If this happens to you– call AppleCare. They are who you need to talk to about getting a refund. I'll try very soon.

And in the interim, you can help yourself out by not subscribing to apps unless it is something you really want. In three years time, you'd have shelled out how much? Unless you are independently wealthy! I know they need $ for development. They could charge a nominal fee for an upgrade.

Otherwise, these subscription "services" prices will keep right on escalating!

A couple of years ago, Infltr wouldn’t have dared charge you anywhere near this much!
