But why is it important what features the app will have in the future? Why not focus on what it does right now?

Because I want to use services that are actively being developed and improved, where the development team has a clear vision and direction for the product and are willing to commit to it publicly.

I never post roadmaps, even with the best intentions they are a fiction. You end up railroading yourself into features that don't look so good on closer examination. It also creates tons of opportunity for conflict with your customers and a miserable experience for yourself.

I prefer looking at a changelog. Who knows how accurate a roadmap is?

Good products often doesn't have exact roadmaps. The new version will be published when ready. Q1 2019 is fine for me in roadmaps.
