Receigen App Reviews

.. which is worth every cent.

Heres my story leading up to why I need this application: In my older projects Ive used a combination of different receipt verification implementations online. They were not obfuscated, but I figured multiple implementations in the same app might help throw off the crackers. I started a new project recently and those implementations were now a headache to get working with the new ARC feature, not to mention all the crap I have to do to get it all working. I was fed up and about to submit my app without protection, when I gave one last search and came across this app. Purchased it, ran it, generated code, tested it all in just minutes. No problems with ARC, because its all ANSI C like the author advertised. I have submitted my 5th app to the store tonight, and receipt verification has never been easier. The price tag is right, cosidering you can rest easily knowing that people arent using your app without paying for it. Thank you!!

I had to update my review because Im so impressed with the number of quality updates the author has provided. Simply awesome. I just got this app for putting receipt validation into apps and I am *very* impressed with the way it integrates so easily into an Xcode project. The online instructions are super easy to follow and it actually builds new validation code every time the app is built so its always up-to-date and matching the bundle version. For $25 this is a no brainer for adding receipt validation checking without having to write obfuscated complicated code. The code it produces looks like it would be very difficult to crack. Great job Laurent!

This app has saved me probably a hundred hours of development time. Well worth the price! Every Mac App Store developer should buy a copy of this to save themselves countless hours of development time. Kudos to the developer for making this available to the rest of us.

It was a surprise in my development process when I realized I would have to manually write code to validate App Store receipts. The advice on how to implement this code was mind-boggling; it seems like you have to be an expert in cryptography! Thank Zeus for this app: it let me push a few buttons, generate the code for both my overall App Store receipt as well as my IAP receipts. Paste them into my project and that’s all she wrote. So happy. :-)

Easy piracy prevention.

Great tool! Easy and very useful.

Works as advetised & highly recommended. Their QuickLook plugin for App Store receipts is also very useful (see the guides on the website).

Love the app. Helps me generate usable code for validating in-app purchase receipts directly on device. Thanks for creating this.

It seems the generated code is outdated and causes compiler errors with the latest version of OpenSSL (1.1). I would love to give this app 5 stars, but I cannot. I sent the the developer a couple of e-mails, no response yet. If the app isn’t current, I’ll be seeking a refund because I do not want to embed an old version of OpenSSL in my app. I also don’t feel I should be editing generated code. I hate leavng negative reviews. If the developer handles customer support properly, I will revise this review.

Worked flawlessly. Saved me hours of work. Developer was very responsive about my questions. Documentation/video was very good.

Really easy to integrate and seems to generate sofisticated and hard to hack code.

If youre developing for the App Store, want your app to be difficult to pirate, and value your time, then this app is well worth the price.

… but more importantly, if you hit a snag, the developer is more than willing to work with you to get things working. That alone makes this app worth the price. Save yourself the trouble of hacking up your own solution (I gaurantee it will cost you more than $25 of time to get it right).

saved a ton of time

Thanks for the work into this, really saved me a lot of time!

Worth every penny. Does what it says with very little effort, and I didnt have to spend time writing code I have no interest in.

Receigen is definitely worth the money and it saved me time implementing my own (sub-optimal) solution. For me being an iOS developer for many years but a relatively new Mac developer I had some trouble setting it up. The code generator is easy but then the app wont start anymore. To find out how to resolve that and how to test the receipt validation properly took me a few hours. It would be great if the documentation in Receigen could be improved to guide the user a bit more. Other than that - amazing developer tool!

In their documentation on receipt validation, Apple tells you offhandedly that you should be sure to use a solution that is unique to your app and avoid code constructions that can easily be patched. However, if youre just trying to get your app done, chances are that youll search the web for some working code, throw it into your app, and hopefully get things working without ripping out too much hair in the process. However, in that case, you are probably not following Apples advice on uniqueness/patchability. This app makes it drop-dead easy not only to get receipt validation working, but also to implement an app-specific solution, since the app generates code that is different every time. Its generated code also avoids the dreaded "if (failed) { exit(173); } else { RunMyApp(); }" trivial patch problem. Not only that, but there are some useful utilities included. You can look at any app and examine the signature, receipt, and entitlements. This was useful to me when I was having trouble getting my app signed correctly. And finally, the author has excellent documentation and provided stellar support that was way above and beyond the call of duty. Once again, I thank you, sir! If you value your time and sanity, dont bother rolling your own receipt validation. Use this tool and be done with it.

Between sandboxing and code signing and who knows what else, you already have enough to worry about getting your app ready for sale in the app store. If you have spent more than 2 hours trying to write and test receipt validation code for your app, stop now and buy this app. It generates obfuscated code as recommended in the Apple dev docs, and makes it drag and drop simple to get receipt validation working in your app. An amazing piece of work that makes an otherwise onerous task quick and easy. A bargain at twice price if you value your time!
