I won't be buying it only because, 1. I feel like the funds are going
for an app I'll never use.
It's not fair for us, as an IPhone community to pay for an Android
based app. That's something you should be finding other ways to fund
it, not by using your current Apple based app to do so, I think that's
wrong. . 2. I think that paying for a product like yours should be
accurate, and every time I've tried to take a picture of, for example,
the thermostat to see exactly what the temp is set to, all it gives me
is the temp inside the house, not the one that the thermostat is set
to. Or when I take a picture of say, a bottle of creamer to see if
it's the kind of creamer I have instead of the kind my sister drinks I
couldn't get Tap Tap See to tell me that either and I did move the
bottle around and around to find the label. No luck!
Those are my thoughts on the matter.

Arnold,
The subscriptions are being introduced over the next few days. We
offer two options. Option 1) 100 Picture Pack for $7.99 with no time
limit. Option 2) 1 Month of Unlimited Pictures for $9.99. The purchase
is done through your Apple iTunes account. If you choose, for example,
the 1 month unlimited pack, then you will be prompted with a message
to renew after that time period runs out. Same goes for the 100
picture pack.
Best Wishes,
TapTapSee

See in quite a while, although I very much like it and have kept it on my
phone. After reading some in this thread, I accessed it earlier today,
after reading about its becoming a subscription service, to find out how
much it costs. There was nothing in it about needing to pay a fee to
use it
now. Please let me know the details about the subscription service
and when
it begins. Thanks in advance for any information.
