$2 a month subscription? They want people to pay for this? That’s gonna be a problem for Apple, this is going to get shut down by the end of the week.

    If I understand correctly, there’s some server usage implicated in the delivering of notifications, so it makes sense that it costs.

    That and the fact that it’s a for-profit company expecting to be paid for their product.

    I get why they want to charge money, that’s obvious. But they are charging money for another companies service - that’s not a good business plan. Especially when that other company is one of the largest in the world.
