    Generally I would agree, and give them the benefit of the doubt, but it smells too fishy. A lot of goodwill was pumped up during testflight, but went dead very soon after money got involved, almost a full 180 and with barely a word afterwards. For all intents and purposes they still took the money and ran




  • I am skeptical and don’t expect much. At this point I have all but written off my lifetime membership. In retrospect, it was rather suspicious how quickly went from TestFlight to full release. Communication was almost insulting. Shit happens, but informing as setbacks happen (however brief) garners so much more goodwill than going silent and then posting an apology, especially if you let someone else do it and even more so right after starting to charge for features that were previously free on an app that while looking polished had serious issues with stability and memory leaks

    Regardless of the circumstances and events, this way of doing things completely destroys credibility and trust in the future of the product and the developer.

    I really want it to succeed and hope the developer really puts in sufficient remedial action to somewhat mend the damage done, but at this point I am not holding much hope for little more than the bare minimum, if anything
