The app was barely monetized (ads and an in app purchase to remove ads).
They stated that they had to remove the ads, which tells me that they did so to be temporarily considered a “non-commercial” app and get a temporary exception.
They’re talking about implementing a subscription for the v2 version but they’ve clearly not figured out a workable price point yet and they’re already stressing over high usage users and charging them an overage fee if they hit a certain usage.
Honestly sounds like it’s going to be a disaster and they’re figuring it out as they go along.
