Free Apps Are Rarely Free

What is the last thing you learned?

Sure, you can try the free version, but odds are you’ll hit a wall of ads, pop-ups, or paywalls before realizing you can’t actually save or export your work. Any usable features are probably things your device already does natively.

Troubleshooting feels like a slot machine—you keep thinking, I’ve already spent two hours on this, what’s another five minutes? Then suddenly, it’s been another two hours, and you’re still stuck.

For the next month, I’m making a change: No more troubleshooting. If something doesn’t work, I’m moving on. I’ll only use tools that work easily with what I already have. Let’s see how much time I get back.
