Why do they need the funding? I find it dishonest and immoral.

You may think it is unnecessary, but I don't see how it is dishonest or immoral. Those are very strong words not supported by any argument.

[feca]

Nobody asked for an argument, and by downvoting any argument on my part was prevented. I can explain why I find it immoral: I think the world has many real and deep problems, and investing in a web application that is not hard to build and solves a superfluous first world problem, is a waste of resources. Conversely, I think profiting from it is dishonest and immoral. You may disagree with my reasoning and you may have a different world view to compare, but the downvotes just terminate the conversation.

There's a section on the page called "Why Kickstarter?"

I don't think there's anything dishonest and immoral about the reasons given there.

Could you elaborate on this? How is this dishonest or immoral?

[feca]

I think the app is not hard to build, so funding is not necessary.
