I get that developers need money, I’m fine with some new features as a “subscription model” features only but it kind of feels criminal the moment you take free existing or pre existing features of the app and turning it subscription only. (like Aviary 2, scammer dev to be honest) Regarding the one year free subscription for customers who bought Zones for one time payment, sounds like a slap to the face when Zones has only been around on the App Store for 4 months. Emphasis on the time I meant on the App Store, not time testing and developing before the launch. I’m beginning to wonder what features did I pay for initially? As much as I like to think it is nice I supported indie devs, it is pretty sad because I don’t really blame anyone except maybe there is no better solution than a subscription at the moment. Sorry dev, not really upset, just had a feeling eventually legacy users will be forgotten because there is no such thing as “legacy”.
When travel planning I need to know various local times months in advance. Just knowing the difference in time now doesn’t work because global time zone adjustments (for example end of daylight saving time in the US) change at different times and some zones never change at all. The Zones app solves all of this because you can see the time zone differences for any date and time. But the real magic of this app is a cleverly designed user interface that is beautiful, functional and easy to understand. Thanks so much for putting all of this into one app.
