I got taken in by the TV adverts of 30 seconds of peaceful sounds so downloaded 'Calm' for my tablet from google play store. The ad says free, their website says free but now I have it says I only had a 7 day free trial and it now costs and I can't use it anymore. Did I install the wrong app or something or is this misleading?

Many companies use the word 'free' in a way which most people would regard as misleading. Try searching for Windows software using such terms as 'free DTP program' or 'free video editor' and you'll quickly see what I mean. The majority of such programs turn out to be only trial software, limited by time, by what the trial versions can actually do or (for example) by sticking a dirty great watermark on your publications or videos. (I've been looking at some 'free' Windows programs lately, where a bit of digging into their websites showed that the cheapest of them actually costs $120, with others costing up to $400 before you can use them properly)

'Calm' seems to work on a similar basis, where 'free' means that you don't have to pay to download the software, or to create an account, or to use the app for the first 7 days. Beyond that though you have to pay:

Companies aren't going to spend millions of pounds on TV advertising without expecting something back!
Ive downloaded it and plan to cancel before the free trial ends- be carefull because its charged yearly & is £35 i think ...... xx
