Your download will automatically create a free Ghillie account. This creates a limited account subscription designed for you to try the app before subscribing. The number of fisheries, swims, spots, sessions and catches you can record are limited on this free tier.
For more information on subscriptions, see the Subscriptions section below.
Simply follow your phone’s usual process to uninstall the app. Please note that uninstalling will remove all of your recorded data.
If you are re-installing and have previously purchased a subscription, you can restore your subscription by clicking Check / Restore subscription under the change subscription option in settings.
The app will download the 'Ghillie Free' tier. You can upgrade your subscription by selecting 'Change Subscription' under the 'Billing' section of the settings menu.
There are three different subscription tiers, these are detailed below:
'Ghillie Free' is the free tier of the app. This is meant to evaluate the app, see what it does, how it works and whether its right for you. This tier is limited to mapping just one lake, 3 swims, 3 spots, 3 sessions and up to a dozen catches. This should be plenty to get a feel for the app.
'Ghillie Basic' is the main tier of the app. This tier is completely unrestricted, you can add as many lakes, swims, spots and catches as you like.
'Ghillie Extra' is for the enthusiasts, those who like what we're doing and want to help out to keep the development of the app going. This tier also offers priority support and allows users to receive the new features of the app first.
Upgrades and Downgrades
Upgrading from one paid tier to the next will be actioned on a pro-rata basis, so you will only be charged the differnce between your existing tier and the tier you are upgrading to for the current subscription period.
From the following period, the subscription will be charged as per the upgraded tier.
Downgrading will be actioned at the end of the current subscription period. So if you downgrade at any point during the subscription period,
you will continue to recieve the higher tier until the subscription period ends at which point you will be automatically downgraded to the lower tier you have selected.
