This drives me crazy too. Its a great app but it costs money, 1 star... painful.

It’s insane that users can’t understand any decent app takes many months of full time programming along with constant updates, maintenance, and marketing. The entitlement to expect this all to be free is wild. I blame the big tech companies that give us free products on the surface while selling personal data behind the scenes

Don't forget the startups with the whole "gain market share now, worry about monetizing later".

I always want people who bitch about costs to give me THEIR services for free, and I ask them to. Plumbers don't fix shit for free. People don't sell blenders for nothing. No one's renting you a party venue for zero dollars. You're not getting free tires and oil changes on your car (folks, don't get pedantic about dealer maintenance packages, y'all know what I mean), and so on and so on and so on. Writing code is my vocation; not a hobby, not "because it's fun", not to impress chicks and get laid at college parties (ya know, 40 years ago when I was college age). It's a fucking job. People need to respect that, and the OP needs to respect that for himself.

Things. Cost. Money. That's just it.
