I left this review based on my honest experience with 75DaysChallenge . If you consider feedback or refund requests to be “shady” or “suspicious,” that’s unfortunate. My mention of an Amazon gift card was simply sharing an experience I had with another developer. After Apple denied my refund, they kindly offered an alternative refund through PayPal. When PayPal wasn’t an option for me, they suggested a gift card as a goodwill gesture. This was an empathetic response, not something suspicious.
Regarding the purchase, my son accidentally made it. Initially, I thought 75DaysChallenge seemed useful, but after further use, I realized it didn’t meet my needs. Had it been more effective, I would have gladly kept it. Instead of addressing my feedback, you ignored my last two emails and chose to publicly respond to my review in a way that felt like an attack.
To clarify, I never requested a gift card. I was simply sharing a past experience with another developer. Apple likely denied my refund because 75DaysChallenge offers a free trial, and they may have assumed I had the opportunity to test it beforehand or could have prevented an accidental purchase with my child.
75DaysChallenge itself has clear limitations. While marketed as a habit tracker for weight, photos, water intake, and books read:
1.Only the weight and photo features actually track progress.
2.Water intake and books read are merely checklist items with no meaningful tracking functionality, such as visual charts or progress records like the weight and photo features offer. Setting a daily target doesn’t provide a visual tracking chart or record, so it’s not truly a tracker.
3.75DaysChallenge only allows setting general reminders at specific times, but there are no personalized reminders for individual tasks, making the task management feature impractical.
4.The only customization offered for tasks is the ability to change their icon colors, which adds no real functionality beyond aesthetics.
In reality, 75DaysChallenge functions more like a to-do list with a photo and weight tracker—nothing more—at a price of $5.99.
It’s important to note that you were the one who publicly exposed this situation, not me. You falsely claimed that I requested a gift card, which I did not. In my emails, I raised concerns about 75DaysChallenge ’s missing features and requested specific improvements multiple times, none of which you addressed.
Had Apple refunded me, I wouldn’t have contacted you at all. Instead of considering users’ explanations, you assume the worst and dismiss legitimate concerns. Furthermore, handling this issue publicly on 75DaysChallenge Store rather than privately is unprofessional.
I don’t understand the point of telling me you won’t engage further via email while continuing to publicly attack me on 75DaysChallenge Store. If you truly had no interest in further discussion, you wouldn’t be responding at all—especially not in a public forum. It seems that rather than resolving issues, you are more interested in discrediting users publicly.
Also, I find it strange that Apple keeps publishing my review, only for it to mysteriously disappear later. That seems highly suspicious.
I don’t owe you an explanation for my son’s accidental purchase. That was something I addressed in my appeal to Apple, not to you. It’s clear that instead of addressing real concerns, you’re more focused on publicly attacking users.
If you continue this behavior, I won’t engage further. You can keep the one-star review, but your public responses are unprofessional. I won’t reply anymore—it’s evident you prefer public confrontation over resolving issues privately.
