Crystaliq – Prism Kaleidoscope

This app uses dark UX pattern to trick you into to subscribing. As soon as you open the app, it uses double tap on the side button to automatically subscribe you to monthly plan. Since you are downloading the app usually double tapping on the side button triggers the download. So you are easily fooled by this behavior. Other apps have a more clear subscription page with terms and conditions etc. After this when you are in the app, there is no freaking was to cancel the subscription. Which means if you did not notice what you double tapped on, you are done. Monthly $7.99 will go from your wallet without you even knowing you are paying for it. This is the worst user experience and a scammer style approach. I would stay away and report this.

The app had some cool features but I realized pretty quickly while I was still under the “free” membership period that I would never use this app on a regular basis and couldn’t justify the cost so I canceled the “free” membership. These people still charged me, and not only that, they charged me for the YEAR subscription. I’m currently disputing the charge with my bank. Save yourself the headache and skip this app.

this app saved my life. was organizing a photoshoot and had the photographer drop out!!! I stepped in to take the photos and had the best time playing with the different features and manipulating each effect. photos turned out exactly how I wanted 🤍🤍
