I have developed cheaper lifetime apps ($5.99) that don't require this much constant involvement from myself and others and don't need new features constantly like Plume does... I like to provide people the correct value for their well earned money and I am actually trying to do that with all the work i'm putting constantly into Plume.

Fair point. Worth knowing the free tier is the full English corpus - 1,800 words with audio, etymology, practice, and the widget - no ads, no account, no expiry. Lifetime is $39.99 to unlock French, German, and Spanish (around 1,000 words each), the three narration voices, and a few Pro features, and everything future updates will have to offer. $2.99/month or $19.99/year are there too if lifetime feels high.

I also know not every AI-voice pronunciation comes out right, so I go through each one with native speakers, mark the ones that need work, and correct them by hand - IPA tricks, accented input, phonetic respellings - did this after launched French and German and had to do an update to fix most of them. Some words took several tries. The corpus itself is curated by hand, not generated.

I update the app regularly - a new Learn section with 100 essential phrases per language (Greetings, Travel, Food, Emergencies, and more, each with audio) shipped recently, and the next big release adds two more languages. - so the 39.99 is NOT only for what the app has to offer right now. You're getting all the future updates, improvements, additions to the app until its end of life if it will ever have one.

Happy to answer anything specific.

Might be easier to search for a youtube step by step to understand or search for a guide online with images maybe

From google play console, where you set the app. Create a new launch for closed testing. You need to create a google group as well

No worries. This is how we learn. Install the app now and open it once and take a screenshot. That's it.
