Due to problems with the Blynk business model and their pricing structure, I have decided not to use Blynk for any further app development.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Blynk and their, what I consider deceptive, "play to pay" business model; and nor can I recommend their support community.
I also read the Blynk privacy policy and according to their privacy policy, they can provide the "behavioral exhaust" data we generate on the Blynk network to third parties.
This appears to be yet another "surveillance capitalist" -type of business, where they will partner with data miners and other third parties and use our data without our consent for behavioral-analytics.
