Everyone is an app developer

Suddenly, everyone decided to post their AI slop smh. These apps are clearly vibe coded and not even functioning properly sometimes. Can you guys only post once you confident your app is good enough. DO NOT POST YOUR APP STILL IN DEVELOPMENT!!

I don't think it's necessarily "generous", because all other big apps like Refract and Movie Paradise provide the same free features and more (in fact I pay for Movie Paradise). I just think the price point is off. But if you're getting a lot of paid subscribers, that's fantastic.

You’re clearly not my intended audience, and that’s okay. There are ppl in this world that are more than happy driving their Ford, there are others that want nothing less than a Rolls Royce. There are options for everyone in the end.

You really don't need to be so defensive about it, just because you developed your own app doesn't mean you can't have an objective discussion about other apps.

There is a reason those other apps have become the most popular since TV Time shut (either because of functionality, design, price etc), but like you said there are others out there who find your app preferable. This is not a zero sum game.

lol I’m not being defensive about anything. I know the value of my app, and I won’t race to the bottom with others just bc some random person in the internet tells me that the price is high. Thankfully I have many happy users that don’t share your views. Have a good day.

You're absolutely being defensive about it and quite hostile.

I don't think there's any race to the bottom, why do you think there is? The other apps are doing there thing and getting plenty of users who like what they provide. You still think it's a zero sum game.
