![]() If I sell somebody a complete web site design for $50, that’s an idiotic decision. Otherwise the argument is effectively something along the lines of “well sure, we promised X - but you can’t honestly expect us to deliver on that because of (list of reasons that were known ahead of time)” If they change the terms after purchase, in violation of Apple’s guidelines, that’s not cool. ![]() That’s all fine as long as it’s decided ahead of time. ![]() I actually agree with Simon’s entire post regarding dev incentives and revenue, with a key caveat: I hope it doesn’t end up being a bad business move for them, because Notability’s a great app.Įdited to add: In my earlier post, I said “I even think a flat-out upgrade as a new purchase would have been perfectly justifiable.” I should have clarified that I think it would be just fine for an upgraded version to require a subscription. (And neither of those went the Agenda route, which is a different but, I think, very workable model.) As I’ve noted before, it’s not the price that’s the issue.īut yes, I think there are better ways to handle this transition where existing customers are concerned, and I think they’re frittering away some good will right now. There are several subscriptions that I happily pay for - and that cost considerably more than what’s being asked for Notability. I’m all for supporting developers, and I get why the subscription model makes sense in many instances, for developers and customers alike. Now they’re trying to sell that functionality back to me, with the first year thrown in for free as an enticement to subscribe. They took away basic functionality (iCloud syncing and unhindered editing) that I’d already paid for. So they in effect gave you a 12 month subscription for free.
