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.

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.

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.

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.

I hope so.
Also, what does the paid version do that the free version does not
do.
