Plink: Team up, Chat & Play

I saw an ad for this app on twitch and I thought "Great! Sounds like a cool idea..." I downloaded it and 30 seconds in, a full screen banner opens advertising a free trial of the "Pro version" which is fine except there is literally no way to close out that screen without clicking subscribe. They force you to try a free trial. Then I thought, weird but I'll just unsubscribe immediately. Well, there isn't any way to unsubscribe in the app. I had to go through my Google play settings to get off.

Setup then they want me to pay. Setup the application, logged in and allow the scanning of steam games. The they want a fee that is unskippable. If I could use the free version without having to try the paid version that would be a big step in the right direction. I would not recommend this application until you can get passed the subscription screen.

Literally the worst experience through a gaming app. I signed up for the free trial and was immediately disappointed with the layout and everything it was "offering". It's a great concept, but to pay that much per month is outrageous. On top of that I was charged $10 twice within a week from each other. After going back and forth with customer services they still manage to keep my money with no intentions of refunding or solving the solution for future customers. Trash customer service.

100% clickbait btw. But it does work for its intended purpose. This is like tinder but for teammates. There's a really annoying paywall that actually makes using the app really difficult. Dont cancel your free trial immediately, wait until the day before it expires. I'm aware the garbage app makers will say the free version is different, but the free version is just hard to use . It basically forces you to open the app, close it, then open it again. If you're desperate for friends, here you go.

It may be good, I'm not sure. All I know is that it is a complete lie about it being free. After you connect all of your accounts and stuff. You are locked behind a literal paywall before you can access anything. Over $10 just to test out the app. So stright up false advertising with the free part. And trying the PC app is useless because that only works if you can get into the settings that is locked behind a paywall. I wish I could even try it out but I guess not. 0 out of 5 for lying.

Seems great from the outside, but terrible once you actually install it and connect an account. Immediately after connecting one of your platforms, a subscription screen pops up with no option to close it, forcing you to start your "free trial." Supposedly there were 300,000 some people that matched with my platform, but that can't be possible as anyone with a brain would completely avoid paying this $50/month subscription at all.

Very Confused. I heard good things about this app so I decided to try it. Everything was going good at first. I loved all of the ways to connect your login. But once I got passed logging in a screen came up asking for a paid subscription. I tried to skip it but it would not skip whatsoever. I read reviews with the same problem definitely need to change that and maybe I would have purchased it if I got to try the app first.

I like the concept, but I hate the slimy way they tell you it's free but force you to agree to a weekly subscription that renews after 3 free days, and you can't finish signing up until you accept the subscription (which can be cancelled but requires jumping thru hoops in Google play). The weekly cost is $12.99, which is over $675 a year! When I cancelled my subscription, the app will try to get you to sign up again but at a lower rate of $1.99 ($103.48/year). I doubt there are girls on the app.

I just downloaded the app and there's no free part of it. It was asking for a subscription of $8 a week. I can understand if there's more benefits and all but I dont need that. I just need others to connect to and party up like destiny using their companion app. But this. I'm not paying $32 a month or almost $400 a year when there should be a free way to connect. Its just people wanting money. If I can try it without paying id love to. And a free 3 day trial isn't worth it.

This is supposed to be free? You can't opt out of the elite trial which is frustrating. Plus the elite features are advertised as features you can use for free. I can't use the app without signing up for the trial first. Remove that and maybe I'll reinstall. It's iffy as I was SEVERELY mislead by the ads telling me the features I could use "for free" but then find out I have to have the elite version to use them.

Would be less than 1 star if possible. All the other reviews say it well, i figured I'd give it a shot either way. You can not do anything in this app without them trying to force a subscription down your throat, and as all the developer replies say in the reviews, it's completely different between with and without the subscription, you literally can't do anything on the free version. Save the space and time, look for different apps.

I just wanted to check out the app, maybe find teammates but first it makes you sign up for a useless Battlepass. No way to skip that at all. Second, there are a bunch of fakes profiles/bots in there. Not everyone is a verified person. That needs to change. Third I want to cancel my subscription but it won't let me. I would like someone there to cancel my subscription please!

Good reply but it doesn't change anything. You should never make you users go for a "free" trial that they have to cancel. Sounds like a con to me. If the free trial automatically ended with no strings, credit cards, or any billing information then it would be different. Im sure you'd have a lot more positive reviews aswell. As for now, my review stands a 1 star.

This app explains that, you can pay for extra add-ons, or get a free trial, which implies there's a free version. However, in order to get in, you HAVE to have a form of payment, which locks out everybody who intends to use the app without buying anything. On top of that, the membership is automatically renewed after the free trial expires, which is a rather predatory practice to squeeze any cash out of paying patrons who happen to forget to cancel their free membership.

I'd give it less if I could. When you get it in it prompts you for a "battlepass", these are typically not required so I tried to skip it. No X, no skip button. I closed and restarted the app and it was still there. Horrible app design, I used to have this and it used to be good but now they've gotten greedy. Very sad to see such a good idea fall to a greedy group of people.

I decide to check this out and was met with the subscription trial right off grip. However my issue isn't completely reliant on that fact, although it did raise concerns. My issue is that my experience with the app was less than satisfactory. Not only did I try to "match" with other players but It failed to yeild anything useful in doing so. I found tons of matched players and players who "wanted to play", but none of them actually connected with me nor played. If I made new friends, more stars.

A great concept. Horribly executed. It makes you sign up for a free trail then 10 dollars a week?! It's over priced. That's more money than subscription based games. That's a horrible price tag. It'd be cheaper to just find players the natural way than this way. If they lowered the price and didn't force you to do a trail than I would rate it higher. I don't care how different the paid and non paid is. Let me try it out free and if I like it I might put money into it on my own.
