Also, many of the reviews are from users without any history. Apps are already shady, add to this a promise to donate money and you get a down right scam feel from this.

  Hi there, I hope I have replied to your query with my answer above. Please don't call this a 'scam', as a self taught coder, had to work pretty hard to launch this app. Most of the reviews you see are from friends and family. They know me, trust me and know that what I am doing is not a scam. Nothing shady about it buddy.

    Ava: I don't trust you Bob: You can trust me, trust me Unbelievable, trust has to be earned with credentials and results. None of what you said is falsifiable. Now I would trust it even less, mate.

    I understand your defensiveness to his blasting, but it's feedback (although cloaked in antagonistic language). By responding you draw attention to it. I'd ignore and see if others say same thing. I do agree with him on one thing: "feed poor children" can send a negative message. For him its scammy, for me it's "ugh another poorly thought through tom's knock off?" Because feeding poor children isn't at all connected to first world people learning new vocab. Unless you really believe in feeding poor children and you have a good story to back it up and you can quickly communicate that, something that would make more sense is something related to literacy. "Learn new vocab and donate books to poor children" sounds a lot better.

The money goes to Akshaya Patra, they can provide food for a child for an year for just Rs.750, everyday when a visit to the app is made, 10 paise is donated. Hope that answers your query. Furthermore, we started on 22 Jan, donations will be made bimonthly, hence the first donation will be made on 23 March.
