This is really disappointing. I used to have a fertility tracking app on the iOS App Store, zero data sharing, all local thus private. But, people don’t want to pay $1 for an app, and I can’t afford the marketing drive that an investor-backed company such as this has… and so we end up with situations like this. Pity :(

Stories like this one can be the basis for effective marketing. We need to normalize paying $1 (or more, where warranted) for apps that provide value in the form of not doing the things that allow the $0 ones to be $0.
