> If you are paying for a subscription there isn’t necessarily an incentive to provide security updates even more > After getting burned by this over and over again, I just think it's more sensible to stick to OSS options that will probably exist in some compilable state even in the distant future. If you asked 12 years ago if they would still be around in 10 years, the answer would be yes. > Is AgileBits going to be around in 10 years? They would still be around if they had subscription revenue. > Neither has Q Branch, but they ran out of money and had to shut down. These are all major publishers of podcasts who have a vested interest in keeping PocketCasts a good app, and growing it. The other partners are WNYC, WBEZ, and PRX (helmed by Ira Glass). And they've stated the intent is not to change how PocketCasts works. Of all the entities they could be acquired by, I think NPR is the least offensive of all. > Shifty Jelly has never let me down either, but they got acquired by NPR. If its any consolation, several of my developer friends feel the same way. If there was anything that deserves a subscription, it is your security software. I realized that I was gladly willing to pay $60/year to keep me and my family going while keeping AgileBits running as well. There are always new ways things get attacked and new ways to be more secure. One important statement I make to people is: _the price for security is eternal vigilance_. I pay for Things, Bear, iThoughts, and may other apps that have helped me greatly.
I pay for tools that keep me going and return me money because they offer me productivity.
#HACK APP STORE FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
I get something that gives me access to all their software versions (Mac, Windows, iOS and Android) for five people, my entire family (if my cat ever decides to get a computer).
Then, look at the $5/mo subscription for families. That's $40 over three years for something that I use daily.
#HACK APP STORE FOR MAC ANDROID#
Turns out I paid about $40 for the Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android clients. I was like, "hey, I paid for this." So, I looked up how much I paid in licenses by looking them up.
I was a little irked when I saw the subscription model. During that time, they have consistently improved their product and have been open about issues (as far as I am concerned). I've been using their software daily for over three years. So, I'll join the chorus here by saying that I've picked up the subscription fee.
