Imprint: Learn Visually

A trial user here. I like the concept a LOT and I would definitely pay for a reasonably priced version. But currently, it's just not worth the subscription fee. There is no clear structure to it, no easy way through your courses. The bonus animation at the end is silly and annoying.

Great as a concept, love the alternative to social media, nice illustrations. But the trial felt shady. I just "ran out of free lessons" but at no point did it ever tell me how many I had. Otherwise I wouldn't have wasted them on the daily mini lessons instead of the ones I actually would have trialed to base my decision on. The dailies ignored my preferences and were all self-help and uneducational. And I wish they had a monthly plan. With a limited income, I can't afford a bulk payment.

This is a big data fishing experiment. "In-app purchases" and no mention in the ad for the app that it is purely a paid subscription. Also no mention of pay until you finish answering questions and personalizing the account after downloading it. Then you hit a wall and can't actually continue without pay. It's just a big data grab. I was just curious to see what the app was like, and I feel a bit tricked for my information.

I went through the whole setup process, got to the payment stage, and just found it very weird that the free trial is only available if you pay for the entire year. Totally turned me off from the app. Even if I happened to enjoy it and wanted to keep paying after the free trial, which I very well might have, I don't want to be stuck with it for an entire year if I lose interest in 3 or 4 months. Horrible system.

Would be somewhere in the 3-4 range if not for the ridiculous requirement to log in via a web browser to change the subscription. If you can sign up on the app with a click you should be able to discontinue on the app with a click. It's a tactic... And an old, bad one at that. Otherwise, Content is lacking for the full price. The design is nice. Advice to Imprint - stop with the predatory tactics and invest in expanding your content.

First off, reading other reviews, it seems the monthly subscription cost keeps rising, with $9 the lowest I saw, it's at $15.99 now. Based on reviews, I expected this app to be based on a freemium model, 2 free chapters a day kind of thing, but it's not. Spent several minutes on the lengthy "tell us about you so we can find things you're interested in" section. Reached the end only to get blocked by a paywall on 100% of the content. Not getting to try a single item without subscribing sucks.

Downloaded the app, signed up for the free trial and completed a lesson. I enjoyed the content and wanted to continue the same topic but was immediately taken back to a "sign up for a free trial" screen...okay. I try and switch to a different topic and I'm presented with the same screen again. I am stuck in an endless loop of sign up screens when you ALREADY have my details! You've lost a potential customer.

Advertised as in-app purchases, which suggests the app has a free level. It doesn't. It takes you through a long process of personalization (which now feels like a data grab), then won't allow any level of access outside the paywall. So I downloaded the app, gave the developers a bunch of data, then deleted the app. That's on me, but save your time.

Asking for a review so soon is not great! I do like the concept, and so far I've found the subject matter insightful in parts. The UI is smooth, and the UX flows nicely. I don't like how you're not able to see the titles of most of the daily reads on the home tab, and rather than expanding the title when tapped or opening a title page or something, it goes directly to the text. There should also be links to sources in the text, not only for validity but to explore the topics in greater detail.

I think this app is great for quick, visually pleasing microlearning, one of the best IMO, since trying others. It's worth the paid version, but I recall the free being efficient to dip in :). Suggestions: streak freezes, its very discouraging to miss a day and start from 0, maybe streak freezes can be rewards? #2 The home page shows many lessons I've already done, I see there's more, but it feels like a barrier or I'm nearly done with the app so perhaps its time to cancel the subscription.

The app itself is good. Great learning/teaching methods. But the subscription system feels scummy. The "manage subscription" button in my app doesn't work, and I had to find on Google that that's sorta expected based on how you paid, then I had to manually go to a URL (non-link just above the not working button) and login+cancel there... making cancellation convoluted or confusing should get apps taken down.

Don't. Subscription does not appear on subscription list to easily cancel. All emails went to primary inbox EXCEPT the email at the 5 day mark to not continue after the free trial, which went to promotions instead. Deceptive, and not worth $99 in any way. Any app that has to lean on strategies to hinder wanting out don't make a good enough product to stand on its own.

very shady when they say their app is "9.99" a month and then charge your card for the full year all at once. and then they can't refund me because Google play doesn't give them access to emails. if I were I business, I would try a little more to make it right, but this is what sketchy businesses do! cool app but definitely not for the price!

I was doing the Essential Philosophy course, which - a few factual errors notwithstanding - has been great. But I started the course on a free trial, and it's annoying that I can't complete the course without paying £50 for an annual subscription - I can't even get a one-time monthly subscription! I would appreciate a monthly payment option.

Should be able to turn off the "Gamification". I really like the content, but after ever chapter it forces you to watch visual indicators of streaks and how far you are from reaching rewards. I think most people are looking to apps like this as a way away from social media and constant rewarding. I just want to read the chapters and not have half my time watching an animation about how much more I need to read to get some trophy that no one wants or cares about. I wish it could be disabled.

I got through the first part of one lesson, and now everything I try to open, sends me back to the same "try imprint for free for 7 days". Even though I already HAVE subscribed to the free trial. Extremely frustrating! And pretty let down, I was actually excited to try this app. Now I'm just going to unsubscribe and delete it.

I was several minutes into the sign up process before realizing that the app is 100% unusable, literally, without signing up for a $100/yr subscription. I understand that I could sign up and cancel before the 7-Day trial is completed, but why is that required? If the developer has confidence in the product then just let users try it for 7 days without the sign up BS.

The concept is great. Bite sized chunks of information to keep you from doom scrolling. The execution not so much. It takes you through a bunch of questions to " personalize" your experience, but then just suggests anything. There is not much in the library to choose from and most of what is there is just self help stuff you find for free on the internet. Really not worth the 100$ a year they charge because you could probably blow through all the content in a couple of months.

Very cool concept but the app needs some quality of life updates. No offline mode is available. Also, courses are randomly added to my library by themselves. I then have to click through the first lesson to un-save them. I wish there was a way to manage the library without having to go into the course, click three dots, then un-save. Very promising app, very cool. Just needs to be better.

I'm sure it's interesting as I love the concept, but requiring the user to sign up for a free trial using payment info before offering literally anything at all is a turn-off. If it were a few days no strings attached & then the app locks down without a subscription, I would have given it a chance, but I'm not giving payment info and risking forgetting to cancel before I even understand what it has to offer.
