Keith: Good job so drop the subject. No one had a gun to your head forcing you to buy anything.
The next time something is free we will make sure it is totally free for you. We will ensure that everything you buy s free also. My guess is if it would have been $1.99 up front you would have complained about the fact that it did not have all the features you wanted and then demanded a refund. Some time you can not make everyone happy. I leanred that while working and I see it is true here too. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Keith Watson Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2012 9:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Voicebook VO Notice Apparently you don't read very well.

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. >> >> Keith >> >> On Jun 24, 2012, at 9:29 AM, Matthew Campbell wrote: >> >>> Hi there. >>> Hold on, slow down, and take a deep breath. This app does have "limited functionality." >>> It states this quite clearly in the email Ben sent to the list. It says that you can read but not post. This is clearly you're "limited functionality." Also, you are not being forced to pay any money if you just want to read posts. The only reason you pay is to post and comment. >>> Once again, I urge you to read the email carefully, and you'll see what I've just spent time spelling out for you. >>> Kind regards, >>> Matthew Campbell. >>> >>> >>> On 2012-06-24, at 8:25 AM, Keith Watson wrote: >>> >>>> Anthony, >>>> >>>> It's one app. There is not a free version and a paid version. It's fully functional for 30 days and then you have to pay $1.99 to continue to use the functions. Quite frankly I think this is against Apple policy and I will be asking them about this. Here in the states we have laws against bait and switch schemes. Had he offered a totally free version with limited functionality and a fully functional paid version I would not have a problem and would actually have bypassed the free version and purchased the paid version right off. I think that this is sneaky and underhanded behavior and will not support it, no matter how good or helpful the app is. >>>> >>>> Keith >>>> >>>> On Jun 23, 2012, at 12:40 PM, Anthony Vece wrote: >>>> >>>>> I hope so. >>>>> >>>>> Also, what does the paid version do that the free version does not do. >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Sent from my Verizon iPhone! >>>>> >>>>> On Jun 23, 2012, at 12:32 PM, "Laura ann Grymes, LMT" >>>>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> not yet but it may be coming soon. >>>>>> >>>>>> On Jun 23, 2012, at 11:25 AM, Anthony Vece wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>> Can you share photos, links and, other Facebook posts? >>>>>>> >>>>>> voicebook vo FAQ >>>>>> http://www.activeinfosys.com/apps/42-voicebook-vo/59-voicebook-vo-faq >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> voicebook vo roadmap >>>>>> http://www.activeinfosys.com/apps/42-voicebook-vo/61-voicebook-vo-roadmap >>>>>> >>>>>> Laura Ann >>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> -- >>>>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>>>>>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >>>>>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>>>>> >>>>>> -- >>>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>>>>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >>>>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>>>> >>>>> -- >>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>>>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >>>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>>> >>>> -- >>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >>>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
