Downloaded just now, looks great! But I don't really enjoy the subscription model. Why not make one lifetime purchase of let's say $20 or something? Monthly or yearly payments are a no for me. But paying even a little bit more for a lifetime would be working.

I get that lifetime subscriptions are much more palatable to users but I don't think it works if you consider that users will want lifetime support as well. So for maybe 20$ you'll get theoretically years of even decennias of support, ignoring inflation, new bugs and security concerns, etc. It just doesn't make sense and I wouldn't expect it from a dev.

I don't really expect support. I guess bugs get fixed along the way no matter if the user pays monthly, or once. I get the appeal of a subscription for devs, but for users it is not so nice.

Yeah but who fixes the bugs? Why would they fix bugs continuously?
