If you’ve used Twitterrific and/or Tweetbot and have a subscription — then this is your chance to be awesome and support awesome indie developers.
Here’s what to do: get the latest versions from the App Store, launch the app, and then tap the “I Don’t Need a Refund” button.
What is only a few dollars to you ends up, in aggregate, meaning a ton to these folks who work so hard and bring so much to our computing lives.
@brentsimmons I was able to do it for Tweetbot, but Twitterrific doesn't recognize my subscription, and it doesn't have the option to restore purchases anymore.
It probably doesn't matter much since there's only about two weeks left on my subscription, , but I'm bummed that I can't affirmatively say I want them to keep it.
I don’t think there is any special API for that - reading between the lines (from very circumspectly coded posts I saw) I think collectively they came to a bespoke arrangement between them to try and do the right thing by people despite the very shitty circumstances forced upon them
Perhaps best to think of it as an old skool human equivalent of an API 😜
@fastchicken @brentsimmons it does. Your cancelled sub is still valid until the expiry date, deleting the app doesn’t change that, they can initiate refunds from their end.
If you do nothing they will refund you because they’re good people. If you don’t want the money it’s a simple matter to reinstall and hit the button.
@brentsimmons @caseyliss re-downloaded the app (deleted when Space Karen killed the 3rd party client API because that was my last straw
), launched it, clicked the “Don’t need a refund” button, then deleted the app again.
Done and done.
@markmaster @marcoarment Twitter shut down these apps specifically.
There’s nothing The Iconfactory or Tapbots can do to make their Twitter apps works again.
@brentsimmons Thanks for posting this. I had already deleted Tweetbot. Figured option 3 was the default though I see why option 3 makes sense.
I had a month left of my subscription but I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth out of Tweetbot.
