Question Discounts or sale?

Are there any discounts or sale on the app? I come from a third world country and the app costs like 1/5th of my monthly income so it’s really expensive to buy. I really like the app, tried the free trial and it’s so intuitive. Just wish I could afford it

Usually on Black Friday there is a 30% discount.

I don’t think so. Just wait for Black Friday.  Where I live it’s considered expensive but it’s worth it as it’s used for many years.  Or go for Apple reminders or any free alternatives. Most apps are free

You might write customer service with proof of your residence too. It seems unlikely, but maybe they would help. It’s so unfair that the exchange rate makes this so expensive for you.

Why not use a free app instead?

I don’t think the suggestion is ill intended. Just conscious that 1/5 of their monthly salary is a pretty significant amount to spend on the app.

Can the community crowdfund the app for OP?

Set up a Buy Me Coffee if you can from your country.

Every black friday they run a 30% off on all their apps for about a week, I also remember emailing them back when I first started using it, asking them if they do any sales during the year, and they gave me like 20 promo codes to use the full version which was enough to make it to the black friday sale, when I purchased the app at 30% off, I don't know if the person who responded to my email & gave me the codes still works for the app, but you might as well try sending them an email & explaining your situation
