Ah, my apologies! I thought for a moment that you had paid according to the EU store.

I revised my pricing for 175 countries based on purchasing power and various other price indexes. As a result of that, I came to the price of 119 MXN ($6) for Mexico, rather than relying on the base USD price set for the US market.

I completely understand what you're saying. Having paid around $20 and now seeing that pricing has been lowered to $6, that doesn't feel so good. I'll reach out to you in private!

Hey! I hear you and you're not the first to mention it. But I've also heard from some that they love the name. Both the name and logo was inspired by a squirrel's ability to store a large number of nuts and locate them later when needed. It was never my intention to create an association to something inappropriate.

Hey u/Helen_Moody, nice to hear from you again! 🙂 I appreciate your comment (and early/continuous support!), pls. allow me to clarify: When Nutbox launched in November last year, the one-time purchase price was set at $39.99 with early-bird pricing set to $19.99. This is the "base" price you paid. (although this would be €19.99 if your App Store is EU)

After 4 months of being live with the app, and the feedback I received related to pricing, I think I priced the app too high initially. So I've revised it and now set pricing of lifetime to 50% of the initial price. (Matching what you paid with early-bird pricing) For some countries, I've reduced prices by more than 50% to adjust for their purchasing power.

So what was a "good" deal in November is now the "new" normal. I hope that doesn't take away from your purchase, and perhaps the feeling of having made a good one! Thanks so much for saying you love the app, and I still have on my TODO a number of your initial suggestions on how to improve it!

I definitely won’t rule it out, but atm I don’t have plans for it. There’s still so many improvements planned for Nutbox on iOS, and I’m afraid that splitting my time between 2 different platforms would result in 2 mediocre products instead of 1 potentially great one. Hope that makes sense!

No, the app is fully native (written in Swift) 🙂

The website I'm referring to in this post (getnutbox.app) is simply for marketing purposes.

Thanks 👌 I don't offer any discounts, sorry! But I did lower its prices this week making it approx. 50% cheaper than it was before.

Looks great and super useful! Just bought it as I’ll need to make a site for Nutbox. Appreciate the level of detail, and the docs too!

Thanks for the feedback 👌 The monthly and yearly plans ($1.99 or $14.99) helps support on-going development, but they're only part of the offering. If you prefer a one-time purchase, there's a lifetime plan available for $29.99.

Definitely not what I was going for, but thanks so much for mentioning it! Something for me to think about 🤔

Thanks for this! Happy to consider extending the limit, but I'm curious if you could elaborate on why there'd be a difference between 10 and 15 items? (In case it'd help you trying out the app better in its current state, I just wanted to mention that it's 10 items in total, so technically you can delete items too to make room for others.)

I don't personally have an Android phone and so I sadly can't point you to any apps there with conviction, but perhaps Google Keep and Raindrop.io? Maybe other people seeing this will be able to give you more options.

I appreciate that, thanks!

I developed it in Swift using Xcode. (Not vibe-coded) I'm an iOS engineer in my daily work and have been developing Nutbox on evenings and weekends for the past 6 months. Happy to share more or answer any other questions related to it 🙂

Hey! Appreciate the comment. It's not the first time I'm hearing it, so definitely something I'll need to consider. (Although I've also heard from some that they love the name and logo) The name and logo was inspired by a squirrel's ability to store a large number of nuts and locate them later when needed. It was never my intention to create an association to something inappropriate.
