What does your age have to do with the app? Isn't that just irrelevant information?

Give the kid a break. He's making an app, let him show it to people - antics aside.

I think it's relevant. I like browsing the Show HN section to see what kind of stuff people build, and I'm curious about the people building the stuff. I look at things differently when they are made by a high school student vs someone who has been working in the industry for a couple of years. For example, I wouldn't complain that there are lot of similar competing apps when it's clear that this is someone just trying to build their first app...

Yes, irrelevant.

I would be careful about sharing opinions like this on HN. The Politically Correct crowd on HN will tell you to "stop being a hater"and that you need to demonstrate hopeless optimism and positivity or you can excuse yourself from all discussion.
There is no room in modern discourse for criticism - not when peoples' feelings are at stake.
