Is a Minimalism Companion App Subscription Worth It?

Users feel scammed by one-time purchases ($4.99) that don't work as advertised, and frustrated by expensive annual subscriptions ($70/year all at once) with manipulative free-to-paid transitions. Many requested refunds but were denied, creating anger.

High willingness to pay exists IF the product works seamlessly. Users paid $4.99-$70 hoping for a polished solution, indicating they value minimalism/focus enough to invest. However, poor execution destroyed trust.

Strong preference for one-time purchase based on complaints about subscriptions being 'manipulative' and too expensive annually. Users want to own the tool outright, especially for simple functionality.
