Response from developer

Ha! Different people definitely need different approaches

I HAD HIGH HOPES & then it asked me for a subscription to even begin with

I came across this app suggestion on instagram and found it real exciting and wanted to try it out but to do anything, i need a subscription! That too after setting up all permissions and settings, its real annoying! I wouldn’t have minded paying for it later or for added features but the first thing itself was to buy a subscription and that really pushed me away from the app. Deleting it rn

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Due or Die a try! There’s a 7-day free trial so you can experience the full accountability system before deciding if it’s worth it for you. We know a subscription isn’t for everyone, but for people who want their phone to actually hold them brutally accountable, that’s exactly what Due or Die is built for. If there is something you feel should be included without subscribing, or something about the paywall that didn’t feel right, I’d genuinely love to hear what it was so I can make improvements to the app.

Terrible

Completely paywalled after you do a bunch of setup. Apparently being productive costs money.
