Absolutely zero reason to charge people money for this.
Response from developer
Hi, and thanks for taking the time to write. A quick clarification: an hour of playback is free every time, no payment required — so you can keep using it that way as long as you like. The subscription covers what goes beyond that: longer continuous sessions, guided meditations to help you fall asleep, the ability to mix those meditations with your favorite sounds, and the ongoing work of keeping the app fast and reliable after every iOS update. That's what lets a small team keep building it. If you ever have ideas for what would make it worth the upgrade, we're always listening at contact@yellowcatlabs.com. — The Brown Noise team

Response from developer
Thank you for such a thoughtful, balanced review. We understand the hour limit on the free tier isn't ideal for everyone, and we don't take that lightly. Because you were a user before the update, you've got a full month of premium free to try unlimited playback before deciding anything. The subscription is what lets us keep developing and supporting the app long-term — and your feedback genuinely helps shape it.
