I will definitely look into supporting alternative payment methods, someone else also has a de-googled phone and asked for the same in this thread too. I wonder if any of the alternative payment methods has a sdk that I can integrate directly or I will have to go the old school way of using software keys.
Sometimes it takes a while for Google Pla to distribute the update in different parts of the world. Check Google Play in a few hours and it should be there. I have confirmed with multiple people and they say the issue has been fixed with the update. If you still have the issue you can always mail me.
I can assure you I didn't ask a single person I know to comment on this, most of my irl friends don't even know what hackernews is. All comments, even the ones that are hidden now are organic.
Even I thought it's weird that an 8 year old dormant account decided to comment on my post but I have nothing to do with that.
It is just a placeholder for the price in your currency. Sometimes the play billing library takes a little while to get the price from the server. If you swipe up the app from app drawer(force close) and open it again it should show the correct price in your currency.
This happened because latest Android version explicitly needs to be told not to go edge-to-edge. It's been fixed, stalling in the Google Play App Review, might take a day or two but as soon as you update it will be fiex. Also, yes there is a menu item to turn hints off.
Thanks for your feedback, In the upcoming update I will...
1. add a toggle to disable sounds.
2. add an option to enable auto advance in future update.
