Why do those cost money? Sounds to me like all of these features are zero-margin, so I see no reason to charge a recurring subscription. If you believe in your product, charge a small one-time fee or make it free. Otherwise, people who know how the sausage is made are going to always call you out for selling a glorified to-do list.

Hell, Brain Age for the Nintendo DS was cheaper than this stupid app. You'd think that we've come further as a society and developers, but nope: now you're paying monthly (or yearly, if you're one of the unlucky android users) for a toy with less features.

I'm frankly so done with YC at this point. I simply cannot believe that a benevolent person greenlit this.
