Yes — every app is free to download and genuinely useful without paying anything. Some apps offer optional one-time purchases (extra theme packs, voices, or scenes). No subscriptions, ever.

All in-app purchases are processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see, handle, or store your card details — Google handles the whole transaction. Separately, we keep a voluntary tip jar on Buy Me a Coffee for folks who want to support future development; tips are gifts, not purchases.

In-app purchases follow Google Play's refund policy, and Google processes those directly. If something went wrong and Play's window has passed, email support@bayoubytestudio.com and we'll do right by you — an unhappy customer isn't worth $3.99 to anybody.

Please do — several shipped features started as user emails. Send ideas to hello@bayoubytestudio.com. We can't build everything, but we read everything.
