I think you should just release an app that does just that at your rates.

I can understand this logic, but does every app generate enough revenue to sustain a developer full-time? I would think that some niche apps are able to bring in solid revenue for the amount of work put in. I'm unsure how much time would go into general upkeep and management. Could some of the others suggestions here work, asking users to pay for future updates? I'm in the same camp as most of these users. I have thi…
I don't expect it to generate full time job level income, all I expect it not be a burden. I used to make free apps, browser extensions and so on. Dropped everything because it becomes full time job and if its going to be a full time job I must be compensated accordingly. I'm no longer a teenager and my time is no longer paid by my parents. It's possible to have other business models where the software is "free" but…
It makes sense that a collection of apps, extensions, etc would become a full-time job that demanded full-time compensation. I think the disconnect people are having would be, how could a single app demand that?
Either way, it's your prerogative to do as you'd like with your app. I wish you the best of luck as it's a really neat sounding app.

Hey, your comment just got a reply, if you want to read it please subscribe to Hacker News Plus for just 1.99 an hour. If you spend less than an hour a day procrastinating here, then it's free. But we all know that's not the case.
And then you sign up and the "comment" was just some scammer who's account has since been deleted.

I completely agree that you must be compensated. I don't think anyone is telling you to share this for free, in fact, a lot of people are stating how they would be happy to pay for it. It makes sense that a collection of apps, extensions, etc would become a full-time job that demanded full-time compensation.

This is not a VC funded project, this is something I made for myself and got the idea to put it on the AppStore.

Someone should put it on the AppStore or compile and release it for immediate download instead of demanding I give away my work and time for free. Everyone wins.
I’d recommend stepping away for a while and coming back with fresh eyes. Imagine that we’re all being honest and not trying to bring you down- because genuinely we’re not.
There have been a lot of comments about the pricing, specifically the subscription, so its best to see what you can take from that. But that cant happen if you’re emotional about it because you will naturally be defensive and your mind wont let the constructive elements in.

It't the second lowest monthly price point for subscriptions and I thought that dropping 2 months off on yearly pricing is nice: https://a.dropoverapp.com/cloud/download/df0874fb-2800-4d2e-... It's an extremely niche product, if I end up getting 1000 paying users, I will be making about 1000 USD/month from this after Apple's commission and sales tax. I don't expect to have that many users, honestly. So if it happens…
I didn't meant to undervalue your work, you are entitled to your pricing. I shared my perceived value, and for wrong reasons, I'm just frustrated because I've been looking for this exact usage for a long time, and I just can't find rationale spending that much only for convenience. Note, for your marketing, I can't recommend your app at that price, but at low enough price I would recommend your app to all my coworker…
It's possible that another price point or model yields better results. Thank you for your feedback, I will look into it.
Love the app but you lost me at “subscription”. I would totally pay for major upgrades when fixes are indeed needed, but not per month or year by default.
Nice job. Price seems fair to me. You’ve found a problem and fixed it. This crowd always bemoans paid (and closed source) things so I’ve come to largely tune that out because it’s just a given.
This seems like a $5/year app—not a $20/year one. Or, make it a one-time $10 charge; if future MacOS versions require significant work to keep it up to date, charge an upgrade fee.
I solved this problem six years ago although I quit apple since and you have to update/compile it for yourself : https://github.com/milgra/airpodssoundqualityfixer
