Game Weather IRL

Look, I get trying to make bread. But could I have at least 5 mins to look around the app? No way to close paywall without paying. This should be illegal

I was so excited seeing this app as an RDR2 lover, you get maybe 2 seconds before you’re hit with a paywall. There is no time to enjoy or explore the app before they’re asking you to pay for it weekly or $29.99 one time payment. If you were able to spend time on the app before paying and it had more features then this wouldn’t be an issue at all, but $30 for a weather app you get 2 seconds of use from isn’t reasonable especially as the screen with Arthur isn’t from the game or art drawn by an artist and seems to just be a set of looping poorly made AI videos. The advertising on social media feels predatory as there are 0 mention of it being subscription based or something you are required to pay for from a “free” app with in app purchases. Extremely disappointing.

I’ve seen the actual weather screen only twice, because the moment I turn it on it wants me to pay, and I can’t get out of the payment screen. I would have considered paying since this is something I thought I’d like, but I can’t even check the weather before the screen is gone and asking me to subscribe. If I can’t explore your app at all, then why would I pay?

TLDR: Immediate pay wall with the only way to remove is to pay. Like the title says, I find the app cool but that coolness is taken away immediately thanks to a paywall. You either get to choose to pay $4.99 a week or $30 for an annual subscription. These aren’t terrible prices and are actually very reasonable for something that wasn’t a weather app. Not only that, but there is only one way to remove the pay wall which is to pay your way through. No trial, no time to explore to see if the app is worth it. It’s a waste of time if you prefer to not spend money on mobile apps like myself and I’m going to keep using my default weather app instead. To each their own but this isn’t for me solely because the app developers blatantly don’t care or know how to make an app user friendly. At least let people have a free version that they can enjoy with limited features before trying to push your cash grabs on them.

Within 10 seconds of opening the app instantly hit with a pay wall without any option to try or explore the app in any way, I’m not paying hard earned money for something that very well may be lousy! Give us a week to try it before you charge us, if we like it we will buy it!
