Show HN: Strongweek, an iOS app focused on weeks months and years, not due dates

For anyone interested here is the TOS[0]. I always like to read them before I install/use something, especially if the something is free.

The support email is a gmail account, which I guess is fine. The TOS looked rushed/boilerplate with little updates. Apparently the app may collect your location, and there’s also errors like:

> Our servers are located in. If you are accessing our Services from outside

And

> No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than __________.

At least these issues can be fixed:

> 11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE? In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary

As an aside, I’d be interested to know if the tasks/user entered data stays local to the device or if it is sent/synced to some server(s)?

Edit: As another aside, my adblockers prevented the TOS iframe from loading and it appears they were blocking this, apparently WIX related, url: www-strongweekapp-com.filesusr.com

Feel like it's just a dude trying to release a cool app - he's probably not gonna spend money on a lawyer to write a TOS

Could be. But why bother with a team section, a blog, or even a site if that was the case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obviously, they want to be taken semi-seriously, or they wouldn’t have gone to all this effort. But they haven’t even bothered to proof read their TOS

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to update the TOS to be more clear. For the record, the app doesn't collect location.

I think you're totally right to distrust TOS. Most have some really BS conditions, especially for free stuff. In this though, it was just an oversight on my part.
