It is not. OP is a rent-seeking opportunist building their own closed source app that will try to upcharge you everywhere you look. If you want proof, just look at their other apps.

Here’s a review of their BlueSky app:

Its annoying, I dont like it, makes me not want pro, I havent even really used the app yet just getting hit with messages telling me to upgrade, feels antifediverse

You asked for suggestions, do not have anything in the ui that if clicked makes you pay for pro and doesnt let you use it, have one tab for pro, nothing else should lead you to that, the ui is already laggy, I accidentally click a menu option not related to pro and I get a fat popup telling me to pay for features.

Pro should be optional and burried in a menu, there shouldnt be 10 different menu items that dont function and lead you to a payment page.

Hi,

Thanks for your input! I'm sorry if this makes your experience with SoraSNS less favorable!

Like most other iOS Fediverse apps, this app contains in-app purchase to enable certain features. If you let me know which features you are looking to use in specific that triggered the purchase alert, I would make these features free or paid only after several days of usage.
