So YOU use it. Not saying it’s not a good app, but your selling your book.

It's great that people can post alternatives, but personal interests aren't what I took umbrage with. >> In the Netherlands we use Erbij, (https://erbij.app https://erbij.app), which is now going international. This implies that there is nationwide traction for the app which there isn't. It has 300 reviews on the app store. That's called astroturfing (or, lying).

That picture of the 3 dudes against a yellow background makes me never even want to try this, what does that even have to do with your product?

  Agreed. It feels like a cheap lottery ad or something else extremely obnoxious.

    Similar adverts are used by trashy mobile providers and anyone targeting the "yoof" market here. People who still watch TV and surf without adblock.

No we don't. We use datumprikker.nl, Facebook, WhatsApp and sometimes Signal or Meetup.com.

Never heard about this app. Dont like 'download the app' popups in a time where webapps are perfectly fine. Give me one reason why you want to force users to use the app?

  The "Data Sharing" section of the app store listing tells you all you need to know.
