Well, you offer it for free, but also you don't target mobile? Maybe that's the difference?

#103It looks like the Android version is not accessible or the link contains a mistake. Or you removed it from Google play store ? If so why ?

I'm surprised as well. I respect the hustle, but I honestly don't understand why anyone would debase themselves by paying $5 a month to make memes
I don't know either, but I imagine it's the same reason they debase themselves by valuing the fake internet points the memes earn them.
what would you consider "real" internet points?

#105I loathe apps that want a subscription for such a trivial concept. Why did you choose this route over ad support or one time payment?
1. You charge what people are willing to pay, not how much your product is worth. 2. When it's a subscription as a customer you have more trust that it will continue working. When it's a one time purchase, who knows how long it will last.

#106Good job, may I ask , what was your marketing strategy? Did you engage a lead generation company, SEO? How did you gain visibility in the virtual shops?
Used social media for promotion?
Pricing structure?
If those questions are too profound, feel free to not address them, but either way, this is impressive for a solo Indy dev.
And what is the tech stack? Do you listen to users feature requests and bug reports?
I have a project in mind myself and all the above questions I wouldn't know how to handle.

> When it's a subscription as a customer you have more trust that it will continue working. When it's a one time purchase, who knows how long it will last. Funny, for me this is the total opposite: subscription software may end any time and then you got nothing. One time purchased software you can just continue to use. Well, I guess in the games of rent-seeking, cloud-only, security and updates the viability of this…
Total tangent, I used to have the Office 365 subscription but canceled it, yet I can still use word/excel - I've just lost access to the cloud features which I wasn't using to begin with - I would have thought they'd disable my version of word/excel but when I canceled it did not happen.

Probably better phrased as:
You charge what people are willing to pay, not how much you think your product is worth.

#110I enjoy seeing posts like these, good for you pal. Is it hard to maintain? Is this just side income? :)
Thank you! It doesn't take a lot of maintenance, mostly side income at this point. But I have put in a LOT of hours on it over the years. I will work on it in bursts, and take a few weeks and work on it 3-5 hours a day, and then not work on it at all for a while. I do need to keep the image library fresh, but that is pretty easy. To be honest, if I worked a bit more on it, I think it could do a lot better.
At $4k per month, you could sell it for quite a bit of money. Multiples on apps are pretty high right now.
