A nice big middle finger ? to this idea. I’d rather they charge $0.99 every time they update significantly, or whatever amount they deem fair.
Subscription doesn’t belong on a calendar app, and I’ll take that with me to the grave.
For now I use Fantastical after having paid once, years ago, and I’ll continue to until they remove that ability.
Edit: and maybe the middle finger is rude, and so maybe I take that back, but at the same time, I can’t help but see this as greed.
Release Fantastical 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and charge then, once, but if you can’t figure out how to do that, I’m sorry but maybe develop other apps too if you need the cash flow, rather than expect passive income.
We ALL want passive income, app developers are not some holy grail of people that deserve it for all the hard work they do.
Many of us work very, very, hard, and will never see passive income from our efforts without savvy investing.
No. Just no.
As a software engineer, I agree. Remember the days when you'd buy a perpetual license? And then they'd come out with a version with the upgrades worth paying for? i'd be on board for that. But a subscription for a calendar / contacts application is not a good model for a business. Sorry.
