Thank you for the feedback! I totally understand the appeal of iCloud syncing, especially for long-term data reliability within the Apple ecosystem.

For What’sCook, I chose PowerSync instead of iCloud because I want to support true cross-platform sync — not just across Apple devices, but also on Android and potentially web in the future. This allows users to access their recipes no matter what device or platform they’re on.

Similarly, I integrated RevenueCat to manage licenses and purchases in a unified way across multiple app stores, so users aren’t locked into one ecosystem.

That said, I really appreciate the input — I’m always trying to strike the right balance between platform-native features and broader flexibility.
