Was curious until I saw it's subscription based! Seriously? For a writing app? They can politely gtfo with that, I already got burned before by subscription-ware before. I want to own my purchases thank you very much.
Why? Unless they also provide their own secure cloud for storage and sync in that price I don't see the issue. Plenty of quality apps are one-time-purchase to own. To me subscriptions are a scam waiting for the rug-pull to happen(a PE/VC fund buys them and fucks over their existing consumers).
My favorite example is Beyond Compare. Pay once for the cross platform app and get free updates for each minor version, then you get a discount if you want to pay again to upgrade to the next major version. Or Plex Premium.

I doubt those sort of apps would be viable as a one off purchase.
