Weird. Mine said it's free because I own the original version. It worked right away.
Got a tip for us?

Does it say free because this upgrade includes one year subscription for existing customers? Someone earlier mentioned that if you have to pay for it again after updating from previous version if you don't want to go subscription route and pay one-time purchase even though existing customers bought it in the first place thinking it was a one-time purchase.
I have a A7r4 and most people I know will take better snaps with 11PRO than with the sony.
At night/dark/overcast conditions? Almost guaranteed.
It's a fact. You are confusing target demographic which clouds your judgement. Watch latest review from McKinnon. You can tell he is a bit worried because the difference is actually very narrow at this point to anybody that doesn't have a trained eye.
Sure in the hands of a PRO/experienced shooter a 61MP camera with additional $2000 G lens will render better results but a great majority of people WILL NOT. ****, most people that try the a7 can't even get full sharp photo due to not so steady/experienced grip.

All a totally useless comparison. Most people are not going to buy this app to begin with, they will use the regular camera app.
If you’re not getting better snaps out of an A7r4 then I’m not sure what to tell you.
It still isn’t a comparison to even entry level cameras. Manual controls plus a couple of extra little processing features does not make up for a large sensor.
Reading comprehension FTW.
Also the fact you already figured out who will buy the app tells all.
I don’t think that works that way. If you previously had Halide you get Halide II complete for free. The only thing you are given for a year is the extras that come with the subscription (compared to the one time purchase) that, as of now, it’s just a few icons.
Hopefully the only difference between the full one time purchase Halide II and the subscription are minor things like alternative icons and not core functionalities.
Anyways maybe @Cocoi can clarify this better than me
This isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your departure.
The updated version 2.0.1 fixed the problem and I got the free upgrade.
Contrary to what some people posted above, you receive version 2.0 free forever, PLUS a free updates for a year.
See the screenshot below from the app Settings, under membership.

For you. I bought a $20 reddit app. Reddit. It was totally worth it because the experience daily is that much better. Halide is the same for others.
I had bought Halide 1 when it was first released which was by the way one-time purchase, so is this new upgrade free for existing customers, or is it just a free one year subscription?
And if its just a free one year subscription then are you offering any discount on one-time purchase to existing customers who paid for and supported Halide before thinking it was a one-time purchase?
I don't prefer subscription for a camera app and that's the reason I bought it earlier as one-time purchase. So, do existing customers have to pay again for a second one-time purchase? What's the guarantee that this pattern won't repeat again when the next upgrade is released for a third one-time purchase?

I hope people see this comment. I thought I had to pay, but the reinstall got me through.
I don't think anyone is saying a phone suddenly replaces high end gear for all situations. In many situations phones have become very good, and in some situations like HDR environments better/easier to get a good picture. DSLRs still easily win in absolute sharpness, megapixels, and anything requiring real zoom. I say this as my 12 pro shows up tomorrow, and I look at upgrade my nikon dslr to the new z6ii coming out next month.
Nope. Just free because I had the original version. I didn't signup for the free year either. I think their stuff is just bugged out right now. I'd assume they'll fix it on their site or release another quick update soon to fix it.
I think it's a great app, but pricing is, kinda out of this world ...
doing a little bit of searching on Halide pricing reveals it started off at 2.99 and kept increasing to what seems to be the latest of 8.99 ... jumping to 36, wow ... I might pay 9.99 but not 36. iPhone does not replace my DSLR ...

Was that Apollo?
Agreed. I pay $30 a year for Carrot weather (Tier 3). It's worth it for me. Others will say that's mad.
Yeah reading comprehension was bad on that one. The sad thing is people say stuff like I had thought you had said all the time. My bad on that one for certain.
Totally agree. I have a new iPhone 12 Pro being delivered tomorrow. Taking photography seriously, I've been using Polarr for the last couple of years for in-phone processing. But have always been curious about Halide.
$30 for a well-supported app that works great and highly rated for me, is mice-nuts. Can't wait to try it out.
