If this was free + IAP I would install it. Maybe the free version supports 1 repo or (following the GitHub model) unlimited public repos. I think $20 is a great price point (honestly I think you have room to grow) but you need to give people an opportunity to experience the benefits of the product.

Yeah, I actually joked about doing a version that would randomly insert meow in your comments (with increasing density the more you use it) for free. With WWDC looming there is a chance trials might get announced. If not I'll probably do something.

I haven't heard any rumours about trials in iOS for ages, has it come up again recently?

I'd like to suggest a little more information about what CodeReview is.

The web page doesn't give me any real hints. The App Store listing only shows in the title that it's a GitHub-only thing.

I don't suggest overloading with unnecessary detail, but it would be nice to know something before spending $20.

I think randomly added 'meow' and other animal noises would be pretty funny. Might actually be a disincentive to paying for those who can laugh a little

> You must be at least 17 years old to download this app. Why is a code review app rated as 17+?

Basically because you can access external web content. Either that or maybe I clicked the wrong box somewhere, but I'm pretty sure all apps that let you browse the web get the 17+

Interesting. It looks like "Unrestricted Web Access" is what causes it. Chrome is in the same boat, but for some reason Facebook and Twitter don't have the same requirements even though they allow access to web content via links.

I'm not sure if this would work for your app, but maybe you could restrict access to just github.com? I'd also second a video or something more insightful on the landing page of the app's website.
