Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

    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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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.

      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?
