Hey! I have no absolutely no clue who OP (BigBalli) is. I checked this guy's profile out. He's a member since 2012, I don't think he meant bad at all.

I'm personally anti-AI. I checked out his app, and whether vibe-coded or not, it looks very well done. And the app actually has both offline mobile apps + web apps. And it's free? And FWIW, pestpro.app was registered ~1 month ago.

Agreed, reaction from OP is concerning to say the least

If you click on "download button" which should open the link to the App Store you will notice that is a broken link. This is why is ai slop.

Spinning a web like that today is 30 minutes of Claude Code prompting.

But like it or not, the gatekeeping of Apple and Google means that pushing an app to their stores is days work and wait time.

So yeah, reeks of ai slop.

apple still needs to review it. That's why I said "literally just now".

On top of the app store link not working, the privacy and terms links also 404.

Also why is it free? Presumably the data is the product.
