According to app store optimization theory, that means you were never a potential customer anyway. If that's true or not, who knows?

None of my other apps have ever had a hard paywall, and success was not a result. So I tried something different this time.

In the end, I just couldn't go with a hard paywall; it's against my nature. So, on the paywall at the bottom, there's a "not now" button that lets you use all the features of the app without paying for 7 days.
