I’ve downloaded the app and I’m going to start entering stuff to really play around with it in a bit, but I’ll be honest: the IAP feels a bit steep to me.

I’ll note, I’m pretty cheap and I’m not likely to spend on an app unless I feel I’m getting a wealth of usage. For example, I threw, I think, around $10 at the old Apollo app for Reddit because it was my most-used app by some 10 hours each week (RIP). I had a daily task app that I paid $5 for and another app with like translations and concordances as the IAP for $10. I also removed ads for $1 in a manga-reader for iPad. I give these examples because, for me at least, apps that are getting daily use “deserve” to get my money.

While this one sounds neat and is honestly something I’ve been searching for, $8 USD hits me a little hard. I doubt I’m going to be in this app daily and it’s got a sole, albeit useful, function. The same could be achieved in Excel or Sheets, sans notifications about the newer games.

So, just my opinion, but something like this needs to be priced within “splurge” range for apps. Like honestly, $1.99-2.99. It’s low enough to hit that “sure why not” and not so high that you make a user question why they would spend.

Hi @hmandlm@lemmy.world, can you please tag this as self promo since this is your own app (prepend the title with [Self Promo]). Moving forward, we're going to tighten up the rules regarding self promo apps (see post here).

Most game tracking apps have recurring subscriptions so a one time purchase is beyond fair! I’d say if folks like your app they should get themselves grandfathered in on that should you ever switch to a subscription haha

Not sure how this discord bot is doing it but it is!

Jeon and csv for me. Just so i can get my data out if needbe

I like the exports that Day One does if you've ever used that journaling app before (they do multiple kinds of exports). JSON, for if I need to write a script to import the data somewhere else. TXT for something nice and human readable. CSV for whoever wants to use this format lol. They also got a pdf printout just to make things look pretty. As for imports, I think they have import options for their competitor's export options, but I've only used this once and I don't remember the option I used.

But if it came down to just one, I'd say JSON is the most important for me. The other ones are just nice to have but not critical.

And np, I didn't want you thinking everyone thought it was too expensive.

Gotcha. Thanks.
