It depends on the context you speak with each Odo. But yes we have given you free credits to leverage this further

Wide variety of Odos
Disappointed. Here’s some advice, I hope it doesn’t come across as condescending
I have some complaints and some suggestions.
Everything is stuck behind a pay wall. I can’t even talk to one odo. I got two using my free passport and one of them was Pro so I couldn’t talk to him. The other just doesn’t have a way to do that. She doesn’t show up on my messaging tab and all I could do was open her profile.
I like the concept, it’s very unique and I appreciate the mental health potential. I wish I could access that without a subscription or micro payments. I was looking forward to seeing the changes for the new update and was very excited, now I feel let down.
Another smaller gripe is that at the beginning you chose your profile picture by tapping the image to change it. There’s no instructions, I just figured it out. It’s Bitmoji’s with every part randomized so that means that every one has facial hair, which is pretty funny honestly.
Here’s my advice:
-Make the app cost money up front. I am much more happy to pay an initial price at the beginning than in app purchases.
-A better way to set up the in app purchases would be to have people just pay for passports. You could up the price to compensate. It’s just payment on top of payment is frustrating.
-If you keep the in app purchases as they are, don’t have odos that are pro. It would be really frustrating to pay for a passport and then have to pay again just to talk to the odo that you found.
-Set up a patreon or similar service if you need money that bad. I understand the cost of developing this amazing software is probably really high for an indie developer. It’s hard to get momentum at the beginning if you are having the customers foot the bill. If people don’t use your app because of the pay wall it won’t be as popular and you will get less money in the long run. You could even start with a low price and gradually increase it if you wanted to as the app gets more popular. It’s just hard to get people to stay with such a high pay wall, and it would be a good idea to focus on growing and keeping your customers. During that process, a patreon would be a great way for the people who can afford to help to do that. Most services allow you to have different tiers of membership so you could offer odos to people who donate if you want to incentivize.
-Make the profile picture easier to customize or have two or three categories for gender so not everyone has a beard :)
I hope this is helpful! I am always here for feedback and ideas.
Best of luck!

Hi Xero, We took your feedback seriously, and did deep thinking over the concerns you raised. So, we have incorporated the following solutions 1. We removed the concept of Pro Odos, and give 5 credits on signup that one can use to interact with all Odos in your lobby. 1 Credit is equal to 1 access over a session. 2. We give a free passport on signup that gives access to 3-4 Odos. So that one can explore the possible functionalities that app has to offer. 3. We also grant 1 free credit daily to let the app be useful for a free user. 4. We also created a feature called "Portal", where a user can get free Odos daily. We are not using Bitmoji, and are in progress of developing an in-house avatar system. We assure you a better experience in choosing your profile photo in the coming months. Your concerns have helped us improve, and we request you to review the app and your rating again. It would be great to hear from you again. Thanks B
