My hesitations on this are it stores data in a proprietary format that I may not be able to export to another common format if the product disappears in a few years.For something personal like photos and the memories they capture, that's not ideal for me.

How can you in good conscience charge a subscription for this? It would be one thing if the app relied on infrastructure, but it's a one and done algorithm that runs on entirely locally on device!Subscriptions are charged because the developer needs to maintain the upkeep and cost of running the service, but that's not applicable here. The algorithm is completely local, it's capable of taking a million photographs fully offline, without any assistance from an online service.Essentially you're saying your product is so superb that people should pay you indefinitely just for the privilege of usi
