Dilemmo: Make Better Decisions

*updated. I originally mentioned around how they removed free options. They have been added back and I have updated my review. I enjoy the free stories they have, which is what brought me in. I wish there was enough free stories to be able to get an actual overview, which is what I believe their intention is, but also understand they need to make money to keep it going. So the free is meant to give you a taste, which makes sense. Nifty premise though.

I was forced to do a subscription for the free trial access and I felt like it wouldn’t be a problem to sign up/cancel immediately and then use the trial access to see how the app worked and if I wanted to invest in the subscription. Well they charged me for a year long subscription as a lump sum the second I opened the ‘free trial’. There is no free trial. You have to subscribe for access to it and no matter how quickly you cancel it they have already charged you for whatever they decide to charge and then you can’t actually get any money back. I tried to cancel through the Apple subscription section in settings in which it says not subscribed but I can’t even trust that because I have charges associated with this scam app. But wait there’s more!! Whenever I open the app it never actually opens. It just shows the app logo on my whole screen and if I tap anywhere on the screen (after waiting for it to load) it automatically starts a scenario-sometimes midway through I think- and I can’t do anything else or see any other screen. I can’t see any of the dilemmas or what my choices show about me as a whole or even at all. I can’t even see if I need to go through the app to truly stop any future charges because I can’t see anything. I can’t find any information on who to contact for help with the subscription/free trial hoax/money issue or in just getting the app to open enough for me to see my account or profile or access bug reporting.

This is entirely AI. I was pretty certain from the cartoon style at first, but wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Then the gibberish letters within the cartoons showed up and I realized what a heartless scam this is. It starts by introducing you to two annual subscription plans, nothing monthly. One is about $60, one is about $70. The difference is the cheaper one is sold on their website so they don't have to pay app store fees (disguised as YOU don't have to pay app store fees). The $70 plan is sold on the app store. I assume that their whole business plan is getting people to opt into the weekly trial only to get grouped into the nonrefundable annual plan fee. The actual contents of the app are complete trash. Just AI cartoons of some scenario. At least you can fast forward. The plots are all predictable. I thought this app would be mental/philosophic exercises but instead it's all self-centered plots (ie, you hire a clone to be a replacement dad and work you. Oh, no! He is good at it and you look bad. Yadda yadda yadda.) Not a good app
