Can’t even figure out if I like the app before being bombarded with tons of adds and attempts to sell you an $80 subscription

They automatically charged me for an annual subscription as soon as I installed the app.

Of course, developers make money either through subscriptions or ads- that’s life. However, I think the placement of ads here is a bit thoughtless. Video ads will pop up shortly after you tap to read a brief “learn it” course explanation article. It would make more sense to serve ads at the end of or before a lesson, but shoehorning an ad while I’m trying to read explanatory text borders on rude and disrespectful. There’s also no expiration time for the ad, as in, if you close the help text and then immediately reopen it, it triggers another video ad, even though you just watched it seconds ago. Maybe a timer to prevent more ads for a certain period of time might make sense instead of knowing I’ll have to watch an ad every time I want to reference the help text. May as well take screenshots of it. I’m also unsure if it’s a fault of the app developer or the ads themselves being served, but the X to close the help text is in the same position as the “skip/close” button for the ad, the hit box for which is often difficult to select, so if you repeatedly tap to close the ad, you sometimes inadvertently close the article. Which, again, means you have you watch another ad. It’s too bad that they don’t offer a lifetime/pay-once option; I’d probably pay more to remove the ads permanently rather than subscribing, the content seems well written, it’s just littered with poorly placed ads.
