### 1/5 — Absurd cash grab

*2026-08-22*

Want to use this basic app that I could write in a day (in java at least)? They’ll take $4.99 per WEEK to let you use this app that you might need once every year to check for stick drift or buttons not registering. 

If the app were more polished I MIGHT pay $4.99 per YEAR if it were updated as needed and support was responsive.
