Thanks! I just can't wrap my head around the fact that someone is willing to pay $5 a month for a meme app! XD Are the users active? Have you thought / analyzed if they pay and forget that it's a subscription? :-?

Yes the users are quite active. The main thing people are paying for are the video features and the video scraper. There is some code which allows the app to pull videos from youtube, instagram, facebook, twitter, reddit, etc, and I think that is really the thing that separates this app from other generic image editors.

If you think someone's paying customers are "debasing themselves", it probably says more about you not being the target market than a negative critique of the customers themselves.

I disagree. Many users are simply whales or people with compulsive disorders. Not everyone genuinely "enjoys" the model more so than being stuck to it. Not saying there aren't people who truly like it. There are. But not everyone who uses it does.

The app provides a service, that some users find valuable enough to pay $5 a month to use.

It's really that simple...

Good 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…
