So I decided to try out Orange Pill App, after so much ado about it on the podcast, and despite some nostriches' misgivings about location sharing.
I didn't mind the location sharing (because that's kind of the point). I also didn't mind the pay model, because I get they want to make money and have high signal.
However, I discovered after I opened the app and did email verification that you can't use the app at all until you pay. You can't even see a count of how many other users are in your area, much less a map with approximate locations. Just actually nothing.
So unfortunately I won't be trying the app, and can't recommend it. I think this is a huge oversight and I don't want to give any money to the project (I'll keep sending Sats to the podcast though).
I think it's pretty obvious that a new user should be presented with a map and number of local users (of course without contact info), without paying for anything.
Maybe it's possible and I just missed it. If so, it's not obvious how to do it.
