Based on 35 real reviews, here's what German app users think about pricing.
Pricing is a critical failure point: subscriptions range from $60-$80/year which users perceive as egregiously expensive. The 'free trial' mechanism is broken with immediate charges and billing on day 1. Users feel scammed by misleading free trials and auto-charges. The combination of limited free tier (5 minutes) and expensive premium creates a hostile conversion funnel.
Users acknowledge developers need revenue ('developers make money either through subscriptions or ads- that's life') and find the core concept valuable ('The idea is great but it is a bit pricey'). However, current pricing at $60-80/year far exceeds acceptable threshold. Users would likely pay for a well-designed app with transparent pricing, but current execution destroys trust before they can evaluate value.
No clear preference expressed, but subscription model is tainted by deceptive practices. Users might prefer one-time purchase or lower-priced monthly option to reduce commitment risk given trust issues. Ad-supported tier with working ad-watch feature for extra time could bridge free-to-paid gap.
