Upon opening it, it told me that, by the way, it does not collect any data. Also, here’s a “Privacy Center” in the app to show me how they’re not collecting data. Unsurprisingly, the privacy center did not display anything.
But what was worse, is that the puzzles were either far too easy or just entirely broken.
The pinnacle of ingenuity was when a puzzle asked me to compare four shapes and find the one which is mirrored, but then showed me symmetrical shapes.
Trying this app was entirely a waste of my time.
Which is kind of the fundamental problem I see here. There’s so many apps for all kinds of purposes out there, it’s just not useful to create Yet Another Calender App. It’s a waste of time for me to try anything but the most popular app, or well, whatever is on F-Droid.
In theory, there can be hyper-specific niches that aren’t covered by existing apps, but that’s also damn near impossible to explain to potential users, so probably still don’t end up with many users.
