        OK I haven’t seen it yet, guess my playstore hasn’t updated yet. $20 isn’t even a decent lunch for me where I live, so that’s cheap for me 😂… I mean the $16.99 sub for a year was cheap for me, so one time $20 is a steal

      That makes me nervous for how much he’s going to charge… I paid like $8 for the last one I used on reddit for ten years.

      How is it “in the works”? It’s not hard to implement, seeing as how he already did it.

      And no timeline when it’s coming just a promise it will?

      Sounds more like he just wants to test the waters and see what he can make.

        Well I’ve known him to be a straight up guy for a long time so I’m not gonna impute any wrong motives to him as you are. It’s all a choice, if you don’t like the app don’t use it, simple. By the same token others like me choose to use the app, subscription or whatever, and you should accept that too. I could say that you just sound like a negative hater, but I won’t.

        The dev don’t want to charge money while the app is still buggy. The subscription option is there for the die hard fans who keep pestering him to let them send their money. If it weren’t for people pestering him, the option to subscribe is probably not even offered right now.

          I don’t know. Going by that logic, there should not be any ads in the beta as well as the app is not officially finished. That way people can use and try the app until the official launch and then buy it when the one time ad free purchase options are added without being exposed to our tracked by ads.

            Can’t argue with that, I’ll go that route if it were me, but ultimately it’s the app creator’s decision.

        Because he prioritized his time in getting the application usable rather than implementing various tiers of payments instead.

        One of the messages to the discord this morning seems to indicate he’s planning on adding the one time ad-free unlock today.

          Honestly a third sub option for lifetime wouldn’t have been a timesink. Just like the old version had. I guess it was more of a time waste removing the third option.

          He literally already has all the other tiers of payment, though? You can select “per month” or “per year”, you just don’t have an option for one-time.

        If it’s not so hard then why aren’t you making your own awesome app in your free time and giving it away without ads?
