I thought about doing some sort of free version of the app with IAP, but it was very hard to find a way to do it that didn't make the app feel too restricted. I might toy with the idea in the future, are there any good examples that you like? I get the items using the GeoData extension of the MediaWiki API: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData

Maybe full version for a week, month or X usages, then restrict to some kinda distance/amount of items or add ads.

Or just keep it as it is, it might yield more with less downsides for you.

Yeah it's a tough call what to do. I remember that the Reddit client Alien Blue did a pretty good job of free/paid separation.
