As this is £3.99, surely the only people who would pay for and download this would be pregnant women which would totally negate the function??
Why would I pay £3.99? If I can see a pregnant/elderly/less abled person than myself, then obviously I give up my seat but I wouldn't purchase the app!

"We are donating 100% of the profits to charity."
So take you take out your profit/costs/salary/etc you give away what's left. That's alright then.

Indeed. Though it would avoid the situation where I offered a seat to a "pregnant" lady only to discover in fact she was more fond of donuts and not with child..........welshjon81 said:

The listener side of the app is free. Payment is only needed to activate the 'give me your seat' function.Why would I pay £3.99? If I can see a pregnant/elderly/less abled person than myself, then obviously I give up my seat but I wouldn't purchase the app!

Could you repeat that?"We are donating 100% of the profits to charity."

I got as far as "So take you take out your profit" and got lost.
What I meant to type was:
So you take out your costs/salary/etc and you give away what's left. That's alright then.
i.e. it's easy to declare almost none/no profit in any company.
