It's pretty ballsy to release this kind of app for free without IAP, but how the hell do you intend to monetize it?

This is the spirit. Why should there be anything for free?

I'm afraid I can't disclose too much at this point. We are focusing on making a good product, and I believe monetization will work out if the app is endorsed by our users.
