> why does the app give me a total number of cards to do? why not always present the card I'm most likely to forget and leave me to decide when to stop?

You aren’t under any obligation to continue learning until you’re done with all cards. The number of cards to learn is customizable.

> why is it so hard to understand the concept of a note vs a card?

It’s not that hard, but I guess it makes the learning curve a bit harder. Why it’s done this way? I guess to provide more flexibility. Is flexibility lacking in modern apps? Yes, absolutely. So in that sense this is indeed a dated feature.

> why does the app cost $25 on iOS?

Why is it “dated”? Also - why not? You’re free to use free desktop and web versions. Paying for ios app is a way to support the developer.

> why can't I execute JavaScript

Dunno about this one. What’s your use case? Can’t theg plugins cover it?
