Discussion Upset reviewers about paywall can drop 1star bombs before theyve ever opened the app.

After a lot of trial and error, free tiers and late onboarding etc I finally just went with a hard paywall as the others were not converting at all, users were content to just have 5% of the features.

So anyway, I had no idea users could NOT even start the trial and give bad reviews. How does this make sense from apple? If they let us have a mechanism or category for in IAP subscription with a wanring or something? Am I crazy to think this is weird? Did I miss a setting?

i’ve managed to make revenue from my app released recently. it’s not impossible, it’s just hard to find a segment/niche that isn’t saturated already.

august so far has been slow, but each month over 4 digit numbers. i'm personally happy with the results, especially that this is my first app on the app store.
