Re: [MLO] Next Release? Should I buy?

[Mazey]

Hi Lisa, thank you for your input. Surely major upgrades very often do cost a fee and developers do have a right to ask for it. But the whole point with the current situation with MLO is, that the major upgrade seems to be likely some time soon. I understand there is no word from the developer on the time frame so hence my insecurity about the purchase. It would be more than generous if there was a "free upgrade time frame" for recent new customers like someone earlier suggested on this topic, only I do not want to count on it to happen. With that wifi synch from android I really need to look into it now - it makes sense what you said, but I also do not know!

The Pro version of MLO for Android gives you access to some advanced functionality, like creating recurrent tasks, the nearby and projects views, etc. The free version is totally usable and you can sync with your desktop for free using wifi sync. On Windows, I'm pretty sure you cannot sync with anything except the Pro Windows software. I also thought you had to have a Pro license for Android to use Wi-Fi sync, but I could be mistaken.  You can, however, use cloud with the free Android version (but Cloud has a cost). These days, it's becoming more rare for software to have a one-time fee for the software and many are going to a "per year" model which drives me crazy.(One software that we paid for - Keeper for managing passwords - took away the ability to sync with their Android app from the paid version -- which is what I paid for it for, forcing people to go to a subscription model if they wanted sync. I'm still angry!)   I do understand that money can be tight, but I also think it's reasonable for developers to charge for upgrades -- as long as they continue to support older versions for quite a while afterwards so people only have to upgrade if they want the new features, not be forced to upgrade for the previous software to work.  (I would strongly encourage the developers to support MLO 3 syncing with upgraded mobile devices for at least a year after MLO 4 comes out, since mobile apps update automatically or with less user control). -- Lisa Lisa Stroyan, mailto: lstro...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
