I'm so happy to hear that. The initial 20-hour estimate was just guesswork really. I made 14 hours so far and we haven't even got through the engine, never mind the transmission, steering, suspension, fuel, ECU, brakes, and so on. Probably be more like 50 hours in the end!

To be honest, $25 lifetime seems like a steal for this.

Maybe it's the value of the current content, but consider raising prices for new subscribers after some more content is finished, maybe to $40 or something.

Or you could also try location-based pricing if you want to keep it affordable/accessible to people outside of first-world countries

Thanks! When I get more progress then I'll probably increase the price but in all honesty it makes enough money to cover the production cost and that's good enough for me. Regional pricing is a good idea!

Hey Alex, I bought the app a few years ago when I first found the website. Just opened it up for the first time in a while, and saw I can buy the course through the app. But wanted to let you know (in the low chance you aren't aware) that purchasing the course through the app is only $20 instead of $25.

Looks like the app is broken. I made a payment through the app and still don't have access to the course.

Drop me an email and I'll sort it out manually - mostly it works but it's not great. The app ecosystem for this isn't worth the hassle any longer and I'll retire that app when I get the new version out.
