Thanks. I have not touched this app since last October. I did some rough calculations on the number of hours I will put in and a possible return.
I will give it one more shot and do a complete revamp of the interface etc. when I find the time. I will implement the features people are asking for. This time I will try to build what the users want based on the feedback I received and see what happens.
You have a steady but smallish number of downloads. Given the bad ratings of your app, I think that indicates that there are people who want something like this - enough that 150 people per week will download a 1-star app.
If you're just sick of this app, then either abandon it or maybe sell it for some small amount of money to someone who wants to give it a shot.
But if you're just sick of maintaining something that's going nowhere, then make it go somewhere. There's some interest there. Listen to the complaints. Pivot. Clean it up a bit and make it $0.99 instead of free.
