Sounds nice... but Sigh , only iOS?
It’s a one-man effort (Marco Arment). It’s not reasonable to expect him to develop for multiple platforms.
Nobody should be making 76k a month when millions of hard working Americans are barely making 1k a month /s
They state their profit margin is around 70-80%, and have 3 equity partners.
Lets assume they split the profits as their earnings, and each partner makes exactly a 1/3.

Why not deliver this as a desktop application that users download and pay for one-time? There’s absolutely no need for an ongoing subscription to a backend service here. Outside of rent-seeking.
