I like the hyper focus on a niche. You'll get negative feedback here from some as it's subscription, but the alternative is a $50 one time purchase that people will dislike too.
One note, I am on 14.5. I just downloaded, then had a screen asking me to give permission my Developer Library folder. I granded/added access, and the app crashed on me. It seems to persistently crash when I try to re-open now as well.

- ricardobeat 2y agoPart of the backlash against subscription is the lack of transparency. Store pages never mention the cost, so you have no idea until you download, launch the app, subscribe (i.e. volunteer personal data) and then finally face a paywall. And $50 to clean up some random files? No thanks. We used to pay half of that for full software suites, audio editors, etc and a lot of companies had healthy businesses selling perpetual licenses.
- CameronBanga 2y agoIn I believe all versions of the App Stores that at least Apple has, if an app uses in-app purchase (so many/most subscriptions), there's a dropdown in the store to see the in-app purchases available and the price localized to your region. Don't disagree with your point, but just an FYI.
