★★★★★ The app was good when it worked. Seems like after an update AppLocker keeps asking to pay for it even when I already did. Now the fingerprint unlock no longer works now.

Latest reviews, United States App Store.
The app has moved to a subscription model and I refuse to pay an ongoing fee for the privelege of continuing to use an app that I used for years. A subscription might be reasonable for a service that maintains a database or provides an ongoing service but this does not. Absolutely not.
The app was good when it worked. Seems like after an update AppLocker keeps asking to pay for it even when I already did. Now the fingerprint unlock no longer works now.
Emailed the developer about it not working with Otter app and never head back. I had to use a workaround with BetterTouchTool to make it work right. It occasionally requires a PW to open which is annoying with TouchID doesn’t work
After a reboot, the app doesn’t recognize the subscription anymore. It forces the user to signup for a new subscription. The Restore Purchase button is fake, just text, not a real button.
For some reason, the app is unable to update through the App Store. It asks to close the app, ok done, however when updating it fails.
I forgot my password and there’s no way to enter the app now. Adding Forgot Password option would’ve been helpful.
