These terms are the agreement between you and the publisher of Ramble. They cover the Ramble app for iPhone, the optional Ramble Plus and Ramble Pro purchases, and this website. Please read them; they are short on purpose.
1. Who you are dealing with
Ramble is published by Ramble (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at help@talkramble.com. By downloading or using Ramble you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app.
Ramble is distributed through Apple's App Store. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app. Where that agreement and these terms genuinely conflict, Apple's agreement governs the licence to use the software, and these terms govern everything else, including the description of what the product does.
2. What you get for free
The core of Ramble is free and works entirely on your device: recording, on-device transcription, moods and categories, the archive with search and filtering, app lock with Face ID, achievements, widgets, and full backup and restore. No account is required and we do not ask you to create one.
The free tier is metered rather than crippled. Some actions have a weekly or monthly allowance, which is described on the pricing section of our home page and inside the app. Reaching an allowance never deletes anything and never interrupts a recording in progress.
3. Ramble Plus and Ramble Pro
Both are optional upgrades. Ramble Plus raises the free allowances. Ramble Pro removes them and adds the deeper features. They are sold in five forms:
| Purchase |
Price |
Notes |
| Ramble Plus, monthly |
US$5.99 per month |
|
| Ramble Plus, annual |
US$49.99 per year |
With an introductory first year price of US$29.99. |
| Ramble Pro, monthly |
US$8.99 per month |
Begins with a 7 day free trial. |
| Ramble Pro, annual |
US$74.99 per year |
With an introductory first year price of US$58.99. |
| Ramble Pro Family, annual |
US$124.99 per year |
The same Ramble Pro, shared with up to six people in your Family Sharing group. |
| Ramble Pro, one time |
US$374.99, once |
It is bought once and holds for every version that comes. |
Introductory prices and the free trial are offered per subscription group, not per product, so only one of them can apply to an Apple Account. The App Store shows you the one you are eligible for before you confirm.
Prices are shown in United States dollars. In other countries the App Store shows the equivalent local price set for that storefront, including any local taxes, and that displayed price is the one you pay.
How billing works
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price for the same period unless you cancel. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends.
- You can cancel at any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before it begins.
- If you cancel during a free trial, you are not charged. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
- The one time purchase does not renew and cannot lapse.
We do not process payments and never see your card details. Everything above is handled by Apple.
Refunds
Purchases are made from Apple, so refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue a refund ourselves. If you live somewhere that gives you a statutory right to withdraw from a digital purchase, that right applies and is not affected by this paragraph. If Apple declines a request you believe is fair, write to us and we will do what we reasonably can to help.
If a subscription ends
Nothing you created is taken away. Everything you recorded stays on your device, remains readable, searchable and exportable, and can still be backed up and restored. Features that produce new premium content stop, and content above a free tier limit becomes read only rather than being deleted.
We will not hold your journal hostage.
4. Your content is yours
Your recordings, transcripts, notes, photos and everything else you put into Ramble belong to you. Because the app has no server and no account, that content never reaches us. We claim no licence over it, we have no access to it, and we cannot read, moderate, restore or hand it to anyone, including if we were asked to. How this works technically is set out in our Privacy Policy.
The consequence is worth stating plainly: because we hold no copy, we cannot recover your journal if you lose your device and have no backup. Backups are free and unlimited for exactly this reason, and we encourage you to use them.
5. What we ask of you
Use Ramble lawfully, and do not try to reverse engineer, decompile or tamper with the app or its protections, except where the law expressly gives you that right. Do not attempt to obtain paid features without paying for them, and do not redistribute or resell the app.
Ramble is a private journal, not a publishing platform. There is no feed, no sharing between users and no moderation, because there is nothing shared to moderate. You are responsible for what you record and for complying with the laws that apply to you, including when you record another person's voice.
6. Availability and changes to the app
We aim to keep Ramble working and to keep improving it, but we do not promise that it will be free of faults or available without interruption. Features may be added, changed or withdrawn. If we withdraw a feature that is part of a paid tier, we will say so clearly and, where it is a material reduction in what you paid for, we will offer a fair remedy.
Ramble depends on Apple services for some optional features, such as weather, music and purchases. If Apple changes or withdraws those services, the corresponding features may change or stop.
7. Disclaimers
Ramble is a journal. It is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool and not a substitute for professional advice of any kind. Its insights are simple statistics computed from your own entries, not clinical assessments, and they should not be relied on as such. If you are struggling, please speak to a qualified professional or a local support service.
Except for the guarantees that the law gives you and that cannot be excluded, the app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind.
8. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Subject to that, and to the extent permitted by the law that applies to you, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability arising out of the app is limited to the amount you actually paid for Ramble in the twelve months before the claim, or, if you never paid anything, to a nominal amount.
We are in particular not liable for data loss caused by device failure, device loss, an operating system update, or a backup you did not take, because the design of the product means we hold no copy from which to restore you.
9. Where you stand as a consumer
Ramble is sold worldwide, and consumer protection law differs from country to country. Nothing in these terms takes away a right you have as a consumer under the mandatory law of the country you live in. If a clause here conflicts with such a right, that right wins and the rest of these terms continue to apply.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, where the publisher is established, and the courts of Türkiye have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your own country where your local law gives you that right, and you keep the protection of your local mandatory rules.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example if the product or the law changes. The version number and date at the top of this page always show the current version. If a change materially affects your rights or what you are paying for, we will give reasonable notice in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Ramble after that means you accept the updated terms.
