The accessibility issues in this app are frustrating when you're feeling okay and impossible when you're actually having a migraine. And they want $70 a year for the privilage. If the app had its buttons labeled and a way to even find all of the notifications I might consider $20 a year for the tracking features. As it is, I'm trying to get a refund (accidentally subscribed to the useless thing while out of my mind in pain and on migraine meds). Everything I've seen for subscribers that I can access is info you can find for free practically anywhere else. This thing feels like a scam preying on people in a vulnerable place, but maybe there's more to it for the sighted buyer. If you're blind, don't bother.

I never subscribed to the app myself for similar reasons, and no longer use it at all in fact. The accessibility problems just got too frustrating to deal with and as you said, it's just not something I'm willing to deal with while in pain from a migraine. So now I'm looking for a more accessible alternative. If anyone finds a good one please let me know.
