Harsh untrue comment. I'm rn creating an anonymous guest user signin option. Don't assume the worst just because you can.

It's datamining until you add the guest option. Why did you think collecting that much data was necessary in the first place?
The guest option will be out soon (max 2 days, i hope). I have just developed it yesterday/today.

Why did i choose it: I simply did a little less than what my other couples apps do, and where I'm from this amount of information is not considered a lot. In Sweden everything is public. Everything, as in everything: salary, address, phone number, car etc. (this is by law) So for me and my many Scandinavian test users, no-one cared. But now i see the feedback, and I am working fast to take the feedback and create a good experience with just a guest account.

If you have anymore feedback let me know, I will be sure to listen!

This is reasonable, I didn't think about it this way. Wild it's less than what other apps take. I'll sure try the app once the guest option is implemented
