Great writeup. Your app has a new (Android) customer.

> iOS users seem far more comfortable with subscriptions than Android users, which is the opposite of what I expected.

I would offer that, for me at least, this may have a lot to do with the consistent, consumer-friendly subscription terms that Apple stringently enforces across its ecosystem. Which happen to line up well with your considerate approach, too!

I avoid subscriptions anywhere else because of the pervasive shenanigans: sneaky sign-ups, charging for functionality that’s built in to the OS, onerous cancelation processes, taking back the remaining time on your subscription if you cancel, easy to forget about, sneaky price hikes without my consent (looking at you, Microsoft 365)…

I know Android’s subscription policies only by reputation—namely, that less-techy people in my life are regularly burned by an endless array of scammy apps there—and I think of this kind of enforcement as one of the luxuries of the Apple ecosystem.

There’s value in doing good honest business: from the care you obviously pour into this project, all the way through to the consideration with which you approach the revenue. I’m glad the market is bearing that out!
