Overview
CritiCal is available as a free download with optional premium features. The free tier includes full event management, review tracking, notes and tasks, genre organisation, smart filtering, widgets, Siri & Shortcuts, and cross-platform sync for up to 30 events.
Premium features are available through subscriptions and a lifetime purchase option, managed entirely through the Apple App Store.
Pricing
CritiCal Premium is available at the following prices:
- Monthly: £5.99 per month
- Annual: £59.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers
Prices are in British Pounds (GBP). Actual prices in other currencies may vary based on Apple’s regional pricing and exchange rates. The price displayed in the App Store at the time of purchase is the price you will be charged.
What Premium Includes
A CritiCal Premium subscription unlocks:
- Unlimited events (free tier allows up to 30)
- Document attachments (e-tickets, press releases, programmes)
- Publications management
- Automatic review discovery
- CritiCal Encore statistics
- Invoicing
- Social image sharing
- Location-based venue reminders
Free trial terms
The Annual plan includes a 7-day free trial period for new subscribers. During the trial, you have access to all premium features. You can cancel at any time during the trial without being charged.
If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically renew at the standard annual price.
Auto-Renewal
Monthly and annual subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled. Specifically:
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
- Your subscription automatically renews unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
- Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
Cancellation
You can cancel your subscription at any time through your device’s settings:
- Open Settings on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
- Select CritiCal and tap Cancel Subscription.
You can also manage subscriptions through the App Store app. CritiCal itself does not process cancellations.
When you cancel, you retain access to premium features until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free tier.
If you cancel during a free trial, you lose access to premium features immediately, and your subscription will not be renewed at the end of the trial.
What Happens When a Subscription Ends
If your subscription expires or is cancelled:
- Your data is not deleted. All your events, reviews, notes, documents, and other data remain on your device and in iCloud.
- Premium features (such as invoicing, automatic review discovery, and publications management) become unavailable until you resubscribe.
- Any data that is no longer accessible in the app can still be exported using the app’s export features.
- If you have more than 30 events, you can still view and edit all existing events but cannot create new ones until you are back under the free tier limit or resubscribe.
Refunds
All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. Strange Magic Apps does not process payments or refunds directly. To request a refund, visit Apple’s Request a Refund page.
Changes to Pricing
Any changes to subscription pricing will be communicated through the App Store. For price increases on existing subscriptions, Apple will notify you and may require you to opt in to continue your subscription at the new price.
