However, if I put myself into the user's shoes This is trickier than it sounds. Don't assume that your target users are like you (unless that's the niche you've decided to target.) That's why I think app's work so well for Apple. I pay a one off fee and I forget about it. Apps work great for Apple, but lousy for the app developers. Apple makes some nice vigorish on every transaction, but it's a very small minority of apps that actually bring in enough revenue to support a business. Without knowing your app's "value proposition" or what kind of niche you are targeting it is difficult to give more specific advice.
