With @[email protected] I’m not sure why I will pay for Ivory. Nothing against paid apps, just hate subscriptions. I would pay for a new version of an app yearly, but will never pay a regular sum per month to rent it.
@ryuworks @[email protected] IceCubes is good so if you’re happy, you’re happy. But you do realize that “paying for a new version once a year” isn’t possible on the App Store unless it’s a subscription, right?
@gruber @[email protected] maybe not every year, but apps like Reeder release new versions every now and then, on a regular basis. Tweetbot too, until version 6. There are some of us who prefer this monetisation method over subscriptions for apps.
@ryuworks I didn’t realize Reeder was still pay-per-major-version. A notable exception for sure — but an exception. I can’t think of any other apps that work this way.
@gruber @ryuworks Things, iA Writer are also one time purchases
@phisch @ryuworks Cultured Code even sells the iPad version of Things apart from iPhone.
