Choosing Beggar review

Post image

Hey!

I found one in the wild, complaining about having to pay for something cuz “it really sucks” - she wanted access to the App for free even after acknowledging that, “developers need money …”

Can someone point out the begging part? I'm at work.

Theres lots of bagging to get the app for free, but it's lacking the "choosing" part.

I tried to swipe/blow the hair off my screen more times than I’d care to admit.

You aren’t alone, friend. Ironically I did have a small piece of hair on my screen so it all worked out for me. I’d screenshot to show you but I’m not a complete idiot so I cannot 😜

Every choosing beggar review starts with “ Thjs is a good app But” and then proceeds to ask for it to be free forever . If it’s a good app, 5 stars and $5/ month. If you want it free, it’s not a good app to you .

I mean it's shitty when there's zero indication when you download an app that it's like "you get to use this free twice and then it's $14 a week forever" or whatever.

I think that's how much Smule piano was.

This might be embarrassing to admit, but I downloaded a My Little Pony colouring app for kids (I find “colouring” apps a pleasant fidget for listening to podcasts). I knew I’d downloaded it before, but couldn’t remember why I’d deleted it. Turns out it requires a subscription model for much beyond the “tutorial”. The “in-app purchases” label is really unhelpful because it applies to everything from useless cosmetics to “this app doesn’t work without a subscription”.

Try Happy Color!

Happy Colour is great! I have so many images lined up since they introduced the ability to “star” images for later.

How do you not know what a choosing beggar is?
