Ratings and reviews

Having at least a months worth of data to be able to be optionally stored and synced on device would be very handy as the lag to retrieve data online every time is a bore. There should be a setting that allows you to decide how much data to keep locally. The rest of the app seems to work OK. Appreciate the basics though.

Sadly, this is/was a fantastic app, ruined by a ridiculously priced subscription. I loved this app, and raved about it to plenty of people. I would happily pay *something* for the app. But with ALL of its actual points of difference now behind a $100 per year (or $9.99 per month) pay wall, the app is garbage. Without the subscription it adds no value. But the subscription is unreasonably expensive. Other pricing models may be reasonable. The current one is not.

Great app doing what it's supposed to do. However the upcoming subscription cost will make it useless in my case. With just one automation the subscription cost will be higher than the savings from the automation. I understand that there are ongoing costs for Netzero but I am afraid the subscription will not be good value for many. Maybe a tiered pricing plan could work but in the absence of it you are better off looking/hoping for an alternative app.
