Your pot has drainage, I think the soil is holding too much moisture between waterings and it's not able to dry out well. Aloes like fast-draining, gritty soil.
The app reads your information from your plant card: it's in a small, terra-cotta pot. Because of that information, the app will prompt you to water more frequently.
I would keep your plant as it is and cut back on the watering. If you change the information on your plant card to reflect that it's in a 5" (?) glazed ceramic pot, I believe that the app will prompt you to water less. Succulent soil is best for an aloe and the soil should be allowed to dry very well between waterings. Like bone dry. Really dry.
I keep mine in a four inch terra-cotta pot and I only water every 12 or 14 days.
Greg is prompting you to water every 15 days and that good. Just make sure that you stick your finger in the pot to feel the soil- it should be crunchy dry.
If the soil is still moist, hit "snooze" and the app will prompt you to check again in 3 days. You can hit "snooze" as many times as you need to- I have some plants I water once a month.

@GodlyZucchini yes. Usually, I just open the app to take a look, but I think I water plants every single day.
