Maybe it's just me, but seems a bit extreme for what amounts to a fancy calendar invite.

What's really extreme is that you need an iCloud+ subscription if you want more than 5GB of iCloud storage… so requiring the subscription for this app is not much of a hurdle

Honestly I think it's still a large enough market to get traction. They can always open it up further if it really catches on.

Extreme? A subscription costs $1/mo and includes other features.

Yeah, for people who own Apple hardware...

Of the 12 services/apps that show up in the iCloud web UI, only "Find My" isn't usable without Apple hardware.

iCloud+ is just extra space; the other "features" are free addons.

That's how everyone I know uses it.

I thought everyone here has subscription fatigue already.
