Bear Notes 1.2.2 Update Brings Text Highlighting, Multiple Windows, and More

I agree with all your replies. Reasonable and sound. However, this one.

What I said was that say we bought T4 in 2011 when it was supposed to work on Mac OS X 10.7. When I said entitlement towards free updates, I meant that we bought it then and it was frozen for us, because we bought it in 2011 and paid up till 2011.

What you said was buying latest version of T4 working on latest version of macOS. No, that brings us into the present. If I buy version 4.5 I pay for development until today. You bought version 4.0 which you paid for until 5 years ago when you bought it. My point was, developers don’t have any reason to appease customers with keeping them updated and investing manhours releasing updates to software already paid for when the customers bite them in their own asses when it comes to paying.

It is then far better to say we are giving you 1 software for this version of macOS and you have bought it to work until this version of macOS. Should something need working we will release a new version, meaning we’d have spent manhours on it that you wouldn’t have paid for. So the new customer gets the latest version but you will have to pay $5 to use your software on the next version of macOS. Not fair? I’m only talking of effort versus remuneration for developers and value in terms of updated features and stability for customers.

Sorry but I can't seem to comprehend what you wrote. It's very scattered.

Ah, never mind, it is about 4AM here and I am also rather too lazy to rehash! I am still really happy reading your last two long posts, they were a pleasure to read in way of the sound reasoning they contain.

I will never do subscription. This is good software and free, for now. But I'm unwilling to put a bunch of stuff in it to only be locked out in the future because their policy changed. Let me buy it and I probably will.

Well they offer a lot of app for free, so I can't complain.

I do not think you will be locked in. If you do not pay, you have your data on all devices you installed the app on. It just won't be synced any longer, you can still continue to use it as if nothing happened.

Anyone who doesn't like the business model, do what I do and just use Ulysses. It's served me well for years, and no bloody SaaS.

Now there is.

The good thing is that existing users get lifetime discount.

Ulysses is now SaaS. More and more it seems that SaaS is the future of sustainable software development. Get used to it.

You mean get used to people asking you to let go of one more coffee.

Soon there will come a day when instead of dollars we will be talking in coffees. How many coffees will this app cost me? About 10 coffees a year depending on where you get it. Oh but that one costs me just 3. That's 7 coffees saved.
