I read all your websites and documentation, and it's still not clear what this does. Also, based on the community you're posting this in as your target audience, you'd probably generate more cash flow by having a donation or using something like patreon for the freshest builds

    Thank you for a truly valuable review. I’ve been waiting half a day for a comment like this, fighting my way through a dense forest of negativity. I have zero experience releasing software, I'm still figuring out how to do it right, and I'm actually writing down every useful comment to understand how all of this works. Thanks for the solid feedback.

    If you don't mind me asking, what exactly wasn’t clear about how the app functions? I'm still working on the documentation, and I know it's a crucial piece that needs to instantly show people how everything works. Give me a hint, and I’ll gladly dedicate as much of my time as needed to give you a clear answer. Thanks again!

    For example, if you pay, do you only get a snapshot of the current apk, or does it auto update. Does it download any models, or only connect to frontier cloud models, in which case, API access typically requires a subscription. Once connected, not clear what it can do, is it like apple intelligence integration into that android device. What are the limits of what can be done with it, because there are most certainly limits, for example, probably won't be doing pull requests, image generation, etc.

    Also, I think the critique of it not being open source alongside your lack of experience in software, alongside this being vibe coded, alongside you charging a price for this, all together do not instill confidence in the robustness and security of the solution. If you had a software background or if it was open source to inspect, people may trust the robustness security more, and may actuslly even help contribute to your project if the core idea is good.

    I agree with your point of view. I wasn't looking for a high rating or universal praise .I was acting with good intentions. As I mentioned in my new comment, I will make the code open-source so anyone interested can look into it. I think it would be best to make a new post later, as this current one has already run its course.
