Please help people to trust you...
I don't know whether to trust you, since I can't find any independent reviews and cannot purchase your app through a reputable source. I would gladly pay your fee and certainly think you'd have a much larger market if you aligned yourself with something consumers can trust. There are too many pages like this - and I've been stung before. Disappointed.
There are some other suggestions in this forum for native Android and iPhone apps, and you may want to vote for those.

Just to clear up any confusion: Planapple's mobile "web app" is simply a web page. It runs in your phone's standard web browser. We don't ask you to download or install anything, and we don't ask you to change any phone security settings.
In fact, because it's just a web page, Planapple's mobile web app is actually more secure than many native apps. For example, it can't access things on your phone that "real" native apps might try to (like your contacts).
Our mobile web page does make use of two standard features of iPhone and Android web browsers: the ability to run the page "offline" when you have no connection, and the ability to create a home-screen bookmark to a web page so you can get back there easily.
Anyone who'd like to verify this can load the mobile version of Planapple by pointing any web browser to https://www.planapple.com/m/.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback and expressing your concern. Since this is a side project we haven't had the time or resources to build official apps for the Apple or Google app stores, but that is something we'll consider for the future.
Planapple is actually currently free to use - you can try all of its features for free with out buying or paying for anything. There is a popup that will ask for donations in the app (via PayPal), but you can ignore it if you choose and still use all of the features for free.
If you're unhappy with the product and concerned about your information stored on Planapple, you can submit a support request to us and we will delete your account no questions asked. We have done this already for many users who found the product didn't fit their needs.
We keep the site running as a hobby right now because we find it useful and hope that others do too. We pay for the site out of our own pockets and the donations help us cover (some of) the costs.

Completely agree with the above comment. From what you show on you're site you're on to a winner, just the method to obtain your app seems a little disingenuous. I am not happy about giving out private details like this especially if your app hasn't been "approved" an available on an AppStore. But I wish you all the best!!ill keep an eye out for a moderated release
