$4.99 upfront to try the app, which has a rating of 3.9/5

Tempted to try it but think the use cases I have for OCR are covered by Google Photos.

Perhaps if Memos offered a freemium version with in app purchases I would slowly build a case for unlocking all the functionality it offers.

View on HN

A freemium model is exactly what we wanted to avoid :-)

I am confident that the App Store rating does not reflect the current quality of the app. Shoot us an email (team@memos.org) for a promo code if you’re still skeptical.

Are you able to reset the rating in your next iOS release? As I recall this is an option.

And aren't 'show HN's supposed to have an easy free way for people to give it a go?

I don't think commenting 'email me at <> for a promo code' counts, link goes to `/hn`, at the least that could be the promo code.

Yep. This violates the rules. This isn't ad space for your app. Should be something like "show and tell" where you show us HN readers what you've built to see something interesting w/o paywall or having to contact someone for access or having to subscribe to something... etc.

I think there's a grace period for you to request a refund[1] in the App Store, if you regret the purchase, even if you've downloaded and used the app. I've done this once or twice in the past, downloaded something, tried it, decided it wasn't right and requested a refund.

Many of the reviewers claim its super slow at indexing, I wonder if its still true for the newest version

We’ve sped up processing by an order of magnitude over the last few updates.

Got a promo code and the indexing was super fast.
