Look. I know that it costs money to develop an app. But by switching to a subscription model, you are alienating the customers who spent more money on an app that they understood was going to be perpetual. You should have given us a warning, and provided better long-term support. I don’t feel like you’ve sweetened the deal enough for me not to feel ripped off. If your defense of the idea of a subscription model is that the customer pays to support development, that’s fine, but I’m frustrated in the way the “compensation” is being provided. You decided that just because I’ve owned the apps for X years means I got X years of use out of them. I didn’t. For long periods of time, the app just sat unused until I needed to use it. I don’t like the idea of paying just to get back into the editor if I’ve paused it for a couple of months. In addition, if you are going to make the app free, you shouldn’t remove core functionality, but instead look to other models, for example, Discord. People want to feel like they are in control of what they are paying for, and this undermines that, which leaves many people with a “bad taste in their mouths.” I feel like I suddenly have to rent something I already own. Can’t you at least keep the old version, adding no new features and charging a minimal price each year to support updating for new platforms? This was what we were essentially promised when we clicked buy on $45 and $20 worth of app. This was an extremely poor time to make this move. You shouldn’t just decide to start charging for something without making any real changes to it. Like I said earlier, we were under the impression that the app would be receiving updates for a flat price, but were baited and switched. And for god’s sake, please get rid of the popup on the old version. That’s just adding insult to injury.
