Hey, fellow invalid here. I will be checking out the app, but am unlikely to convert to a paid subscription due to my treatment already being covered.

One thing I find very off-putting, is the rose-coloured, almost "success guaranteed"-like image your website and app store page sketches.

This product is no wishing-well that your customerpatients can simply throw money at and magically feel better. For this to ever have any meaningful and lasting effect, they will have to put in some serious effort. This requirement should be very clearly communicated I feel.

Long-term dedication and commitment to a plan with uncertain results is not exactly what ADHD brains are known to excel at ;)

Edit: I also share the others' thoughts about your billing model not being very ADHD-friendly.

All-in-all, considering your listed expertise in this field, this is very concerning and not a good look at all.

The impact proper treatment can have on life quality is unfathomable without first-hand experience or having seen it in another. Getting more people access to it, if done properly, is something I can definitely get behind.

I sincerely wish you all the best and hope you can make this this concept work.!
