I don't really mind spending a few bucks for a one time purchase on something I'll use. The dev has clearly put in a lot of time to try to make this a really convient place to reference a lot of sources, and I'm fine with them charging a one time fee for it.
Personally, I always find it weird when a developer relies on free data and then asks for money for a frontend that's relatively simple by comparison.
The FAQ says nothing regarding splitting the proceeds with ProtonDB for example, yet the app generates traffic on the ProtonDB server.
That's fine except the fee is not payable without a Google account. And I deleted mine years ago.
You must be used to this by now.
What's your point?
