Are you honestly charging for the version of the app that can create posts and comments? (Screenshot from Apple App Store)
This is probably going to change in the near future. A lot more functionality is being added to Echo+, and so a lot of this stuff will probably change soon. A lot of users however choose to only read content from platforms such as Lemmy. So the base app (free) focuses on reaching to reach what the maximum amount of users do on these platforms.
I truly appreciate your feedback tho. It’s something I really do take to heart, and will continue to think about and assess. Any updates will be posted at [email protected].
Thanks for the answer. Was asking mostly out of surprise, as I hadn’t seen that in a social media app before. You obviously know your app better than anyone else, but would suggest offering a basic but feature complete app as the base, and then things like extras of themes, multiple accounts, enhanced search, etc as the paid version.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable and constructive feedback. I truly appreciate it. Some of these ideas are actually already on the roadmap which is why I’m considering making some of those creation features free.
Stay tuned to this community for updates!
Why is it unavailable in the Netherlands?
Still working on compliance with the EU Digital Services Act. It’s high up on my todo list, and will hopefully be coming soon. Stay tuned to this community for updates on that.
Ah, makes sense. Good luck!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see where this goes! I’m exited for all the unique features you’re going to cook up!
Thanks so much. Always open to feature requests if you have any 😉. Stay tuned to this community for updates.
Looks interesting. Not available in German App Store, though
Yep. Sadly still working on compliance with the EU Digital Services Act. I’m really hoping to get that done soon then I can roll it out more widely. Stay tuned to this community for updates on when it gets released in Germany.
Interface looks nice, but I can’t try it because it isn’t available in Japan.
Check back in 24 hours (or maybe less 😉)
Got it. Thanks.
Would like to see this in the Australian App Store too please
Check back in 24 hours (or maybe less 😉)
Looks good during the 20 seconds I tried it.
A subscription to post/comment on Lemmy is a hard hard sell though.
Thank you so much for checking it out! I really appreciate the feedback. I am considering a few ideas to revamp the subscription. No guarantees yet, but stay tuned to this community for updates.
