hit a weird bug initially, got to the point where it asked how much water I drank-- I answered "5", and then it reverted to telling me it'll never put me on a diet

Hey, thanks for trying it out! yeah, we asked a few questions that require you to rate things from 1-10 so in order for Lyle to differentiate we asked that you add "glasses" at the end of your answer. but we need to work on making that flow clearer. Thanks again for trying it out.

Would love to test it, but it's not available in the German App Store

Hey, yeah we're only available in the US at the moment we'll be open to other countries later this year. Thanks for trying anyways!

Is there a particular reason?

"For Men". As a man: no thanks.

Seems overly hostile. The post makes it pretty clear that it's targeting a market it feels is under-served: men who want to lose some weight but aren't trying to get ripped. Fair to debate if that is a good niche or not, but such outright dismissal seems uncalled for.

german language parsing perhaps?
