Not worth the multitude of bogus issues – GIF Maker by Momento Review

I hadn’t used this app in over a year since I had somewhat forgotten about its existence, but recently decided to give it another try. Apparently it’s now a subscription-based app, which I think most (if not all) people hate. Those who make products deserve to be paid for them, so my problem is not that this is no longer free. My issue is that you can’t do ANYTHING (except GIVE ACCESS to your phone/pics) without paying for a subscription. If there’s nothing you can do without paying, I get it, but at that point, just say this is a paid app! Because it is. As someone who’s used it in the past and is familiar with it (even if there have been updates since I’ve stopped), I honestly can’t imagine paying a subscription for it (especially since I had forgotten about it altogether). A one time fee, even if there’s limited access to everything? Sure, probably. But an ongoing subscription that costs anywhere from $2.99-$47.99 (and it’s not even clear in the App Store what each price point means)? Not worth it. But at least when you download it, there’s an IMMEDIATE SOB STORY about how it gets negative ratings (can’t imagine), so give them a good one, BEFORE you’ve even made it to the home screen. Class act. One star for such a trashy move. Call a paid app a paid app (especially when asking for access to someone’s phone), be transparent with pricing on the App Store, and don’t cry about how you deserve 5 stars without even giving people an opportunity to decide that for themselves.
