Looks nice, congrats on the launch. Two things that aren’t clear to me from the App Store page (I haven’t downloaded the app):

1. Why is account creation necessary? Why can’t I just store/sync my bookmarked poems with iCloud?

2. What the subscription is or does. The most recent change notes say that a Pro plan with ‘additional features’ was added but doesn’t elaborate beyond that.




Thanks for the feedback!

1. Account creation isn’t actually necessary, if a user wants to back up their saved poems they can just use iCloud to sync them.

2. The subscription largely provides full access to all curated poems. It felt like the most appropriate thing to make part of the pro plan. I didn’t want to take anything away from users who had installed the app before the pro plan was introduced, so they have been automatically added to it for free.


Congrats on the launch! I’m interested in using this app as I’ve also been looking for something like this and your implementation is very sleek. Regarding the subscription, do you have plans for future pro-only features?
