Two features, the "Bald Predictor" and "Height Detector," have been deemed potentially controversial for perpetuating stigmas about short and bald men. The app operates on a subscription model, costing $7 per week or $50 per year, with a three-day free trial available. Welch and Ganz plan to introduce new features in the future in collaboration with podcast guests and other content creators.
