| 2024-12-23 |  | | Crazy expensive, you have got to be kidding, $14.99 a week for an app that gets all it's data from free sources. Also the app itself is not appealing at all. Just a basic barometer cage. Come on guys you can do better than this. This is another one of those apps that if you don't watch what you're doing you can accidentally start a trial. Then after a month or so your Google account is charged an outrageous amount of money for an app that you just was testing. These are getting worse and worse. |
| 2024-05-15 |  | | After last update, it appears that the developer has changed and now it is full of ads barely unusable, to remove ads there is a subscription, Not even the option of a one time purchase. The subscription is 5€/month. |
| 2024-03-24 |  | | Well, that's a dirty trick. Download the update and suddenly - ADS! The entire lower half of the screen is taken up by what should be at most a banner. Pop-up ads also - coming and going. I usually check before I download updates to see what damage the "improvements" have done, but this time I was careless. Another great app ruined by ads. I might have even paid a reasonable price, say 5 bucks or so. But $14.99? Bye. |
| 2024-03-13 |  | | App was sold away to a "developer" notorious for filling once-lightweight utility apps with obtrusive ads and trackers. 50% of the screen is an now an advertisement element. App also now takes several seconds to launch while these load. It used to be instantaneous. App is ruined like all the others this dev acquires. Avoid like the plague. Uninstalling this once amazing app from my phone :( |
| 2024-02-25 |  | | No longer worthy application after the introduction of very annoying ads and the fact that it is now a weekly subscriptions based application to remove the ads... Make it into one time payment and I'll consider to make a payment, other than this and I will avoid all of your applications in the future... |
| 2024-02-16 |  | | After the last update, I have changed my review from 5 stars to one. There are now intrusive ads on opening the app, and more of the same when using it. Adfree is stated to be a startling GBP 14.99, per week! Uninstalled |
| 2024-02-06 |  | | Best tool, simple UI, basic EDIT: FEB 2024, well, for some reason, developer decided to add ads(Fullscreen at that my I add), even though the description literally says it's ad free, rolled back to an older version and will never update. This is a garbage developer for screwing over long time users(my original review is from 2018!!!!), will look for an alternative application! Do not recommend any longer as part of my essential apps list. EDIT2: HOLY SMOKES, cost to remove ads is 14.99 A WEEK! |
| 2024-01-30 |  | | This app has been ad-free and very lightweight since it was released in 2016. A recent update has ruined that, and it is now overflowing with pop-up ads. The cost to remove them is a completely absurd $14.99/week subscription. I highly recommend looking elsewhere or buying an actual physical barometer for that price. |
| 2024-01-29 |  | | I used to love this app, but the recent addition of ads ruined it for me. I understand that some apps need ads to make money, but this app seems to care more about showing ads than serving it's purpose. Ads cover the content with full screen popup and videos. The pricing for premium version is just nonsensical and unjustified. Not even worth. There are many apps providing better features at 1/10th of the price. I’m looking for other options now. Thanks |
| 2024-01-23 |  | | was good nice small app what did its job perfectly, used it for a yers. but now it became another "something" with tons of ads (it is even hard to find apps with such amount of ads, it is too rare), and "cool features" (which are just annoying) like "confirm exit" and "rate us" existing in other "popular apps". you asked for rating - you got it. good luck with getting any profit from this "cool modern app" with such amount of ads. |
