My first instinctual reaction was I would love content like this, but why does it need to be an app? It's a great idea for a magazine or even a book series or a video series. The multimedia potential of interactive computing devices means you can do all 3 in one, so sure, an app is just a means of delivery, I guess.
Except, it isn't. I was excited that you have a web link, only it's a link that allows you to download the app. I don't want an app. I just want the content.
Is there any plan to ever publish the content you're having generated by any other means? Why not put it directly on the website?
Yeah this seems like something that could work as a traditional forum? you could even pay-gate some of it in a similar way. I'm not sure why everything tries to recreate the wheel as an app now. Is web discoverability/monetization so bad that everyone's moved on to app stores?
We've found that dads in the 0~6 year old range want to have the content at their fingertips for when they have a few minutes off (toilet breaks!!), and not having to fiddle with their laptop and get more distracted.
But I get that this might not work for everyone.
We think that we have better control over the experience in an app, and I'll add that the type of features we're currently building will be easier to interact with from an app than from desktop.
