Apple

I’ve downloaded the app and I’m going to start entering stuff to really play around with it in a bit, but I’ll be honest: the IAP feels a bit steep to me.

I’ll note, I’m pretty cheap and I’m not likely to spend on an app unless I feel I’m getting a wealth of usage. For example, I threw, I think, around $10 at the old Apollo app for Reddit because it was my most-used app by some 10 hours each week (RIP). I had a daily task app that I paid $5 for and another app with like translations and concordances as the IAP for $10. I also removed ads for $1 in a manga-reader for iPad. I give these examples because, for me at least, apps that are getting daily use “deserve” to get my money.

While this one sounds neat and is honestly something I’ve been searching for, $8 USD hits me a little hard. I doubt I’m going to be in this app daily and it’s got a sole, albeit useful, function. The same could be achieved in Excel or Sheets, sans notifications about the newer games.

So, just my opinion, but something like this needs to be priced within “splurge” range for apps. Like honestly, $1.99-2.99. It’s low enough to hit that “sure why not” and not so high that you make a user question why they would spend.
