Paid for it now it’s a subscription
Bad
United StatesA total rip off. READ this before “subscribing” to this scam.
I changed nothing in my original review. A limited response from the developer. They just don’t get it folks. My “sarcasm” was meant to make a point that they simply won’t acknowledge no matter how hard we try. They took our money in good faith then changed the rules. Plain and simple. Also, if someone does join the subscription what prevents them from “updating” the payment system again to a flat rate and gather all that money? Nothing. Personal attacks on me, my comments and other customers is no way to address your user concerns. You are ripping people off. If you don’t like the resentment that comes with such an action you shouldn’t have done it. I’m sure this response with do nothing but further your boilerplate comments that you post to every person critical of the choices you are making. No one is trying to rip you off, get something for free or anything else you post in your useless responses. But some people meaning you, just don’t get it. Like the old saying goes and I’m paraphrasing here “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think” Meaning? You’re so busy defending your position you forgot to do what’s right. Respond again if you must but I’m sure it will just show more of your prosecution complex. Know that what you’re doing is wrong. You can’t pee on someone’s back and tell them it’s raining. You should consider a career in politics since this app thing isn’t quite working out. Developer response to my first review: “You have changed your original review with sarcastic misinterpretations of the developers response, change can be hard when it does not come free anymore. More than a decade of free updates were provided, unfortunately there will be some critics who do not want to pay a fair price, the app will continue with its development and support for users who value it. Version 4.1 has added many new enhancements, many more will follow with continued support for future iOS versions and devices." My initial review: Out of the kindness of our dumb old hearts “we at TouchUnAware” take the time to show everyone how we rationalize charging, once again for our app that people already paid for (and what we really mean when we post a boilerplate “response” to the critics) Thank you for your review. (And your money you paid in good faith for our app) iDesign was updated and supported for the past 13 years for a low one time purchase price, (low being relative to what WE now consider low) many users have enjoyed free updates and support for over a decade. (And we appreciate your loyalty. It was a fantastic way to build our brand and by “free” we mean paid money for) This is no longer sustainable (so we thought we’d go back to the people who already purchased our app for the agreed upon set price by us and force them into giving us more money) and to keep the app developed and supported, moving to a subscription model was needed (not really needed but it was the path of least resistance so sorry, not sorry suckers) (A hard decision for a small developer to continue serving the app and its users for the years ahead). (Not that hard really, even though we sold you the app for a price we set I guess we forgot what business we were in because ALL app developers have to “serve the app and its users for years ahead”) All your design files are accessible even without a subscription with full export options included for when you are not subscribed. (If like most users of the app you invested not only your hard earned money but your time to learn our app out of the generosity of our hearts we’re going to let you do for free, what you already paid for. Surely you can see we need to charge you again for this?) The version update information clearly mentions the changes and users have always had the choice to update, free updates and new versions have a significant cost to the developer and cannot be provided free forever. (Although by free we mean you paid our asking price at the time of your purchase and now we want more money) Some users may feel entitled (by that we mean entitled to have the app you paid for) after more than a decade of free (although, again you paid for the app) updates or have a mindset against subscriptions which is hard to change. (Again, we hate to have to point this out but you people who bought the app have to change your mindset so we can charge you again for something you already paid for. We’re not wrong here. Change your minds already! What’s wrong with you paid users of our app!?) The yearly subscription option is well discounted ( “well discounted” being another relative term we’re using as a smoke screen to get even more of your money.) (works out to be less than the price of a cup of coffee a month) (although lately every time we pay for a coffee we just get an empty cup. Odd right?) and is priced much less than apps of similar capability. (And keep in mind, we work hard on this app and whatever you do for a living no matter what it is, is worth far less value than what we do in our company to make money soooooo we’re going to have to have more money from you) Hope you can see value in what the app can provide and subscribe to look forward to the app being developed and supported for the future. (But we’re not changing too much except the price. Developed and change meaning more money wink wink in the future. Who knows? Maybe we’ll revert back to a one time payment once this grift is played out and we can start all over again! And that’s really the point we want to leave you with. Just give us money man… because… you know….we wants it Precious)

United StatesChanged to subscriptions
I bought it in 2018 and now it is a subscription based app. UPDATED: the developer responded but he assume I use it regularly. I use it next to never so I don’t want a subscription based app. I just want what I agreed to and paid for.

United StatesPlease let me free view my layers!
Hello, I loved this app. I used it for many projects. I mistakenly upgraded and didn’t realize I was losing any functionality. Would it be possible to allow me to turn on and off the layers as part of the “free” version I purchased so long ago? I realize I don’t deserve to be able to do that since it would require an update and I’m not planning to subscribe. But I just want to be able to VIEW my layers that I accidentally turned off prior to the update that removed the previously working functionality I paid for. Thank you ever so much and so sorry for your troubles.
United StatesAbsolute theft
Beware of purchasing from this developer; they cannot be trusted. I purchased this app and created many designs with it. Then one day, I opened the app to a message that it’s now on a subscription model, and all I can do is use the “free viewer” to view my files - except that the free viewer is so limited as to be useless. Did you have some layers hidden? Tough bananas, the free viewer doesn’t actually let you view them. This is theft. I have used other paid apps that switched to a subscription model. They have all created a new version of the app and left the old one alone. That’s the non-scammy way to handle it. This developer instead tells its existing users that it considers them freeloaders. So, beware of doing business with this developer. You might just find that somewhere down the road, they decide to unilaterally declare that you owe them more money to get at your own drawings.
