Hi, Nowhere in the description on the app store did he indicate that there was limited functionality with in app purchases to enable additional functionality. It is my own policy not to use apps that adhere to this model. Personally I think it's a form of extortion and I don't play in that sandbox. Set a price for full functionality up front and let me decide if I am willing to pay that price. That is my point.
Now on to your point. I reviewed the description in the app store when I purchased the app. Nowhere did it indicate that I was going to eventually have to pay something for what I was downloading. Now after 30 days he posts to this list that this would be happening, and the only reason he posted was because there was a bug in the app that didn't give you the correct price. Had there not been a bug I would have attempted to post something and then been prompted with a popup saying that this functionality no longer worked and if I wanted to use this functionality I would have to pay $1.99 for it. In my book this is extortion. Granted you are thinking that I am a dick and it's only 2 dollars so shut the hell up. But like I said before, had he charged me 2 dollars up front I would not be offended, insulted and disgusted. I think that our society has left principles behind, but I am old enough to have been raised by a generation that valued them and I intend to hold to mine. You and everyone do what you feel you must, me I deleted the app and am informing Apple of this behavior. If it meets there criteria then so be it. Don't think for a second that I would not and have not done this to other developers. If not for our voices then how can they know when there is a problem. Ben, should you decide to make a limited free version and a paid full featured version available on the app store I would be glad to purchase it. I really do like the app and wish you well.
