![]() is there a written rule in the terms of the mac app store that once an app is made downloadable for free, it must always remain free in its future updates, or otherwise the cost be clearly labeled? ![]() I feel very confident apple would foresee any attempts of trickery at the mac app store and stop them before i even knew about them, but i’m wanting a little feedback on this one. at the most i was just going to use this app for jotting down quick tasks that weren’t all too important, and slowly check out the power, or lack of power, of the app over time and check out its usability. i only downloaded this app because it was free and looked interesting but i haven’t really tested the features of it yet. the thing is i use a different task manager, have for years, like it a lot and have no intention of switching at this point. I have no problem with the pretty lady charging $5 for this software - she’s gotta eat more than that apple. i won’t trust the mac app store anymore if an application can be given away for free for the purpose of omitting the “price” button with the “installed” button, so when you click “update” on the next version of the app you are charged for it. If i do click to update this app via the mac app store browser and my credit card is charged $5, this will be one of the most scandalous bait-and-switch tactics i’ve come across concerning the mac app store. the only mention of price i could find was here on macupdate and at the mac app store preview web page. I looked all over the developer’s web pages and found no mention of price whatsoever. so now since the app is installed on my computer, when i open the mac app store browser there is no price listed in the “buy” button - it just says “installed.” so i guess my question is, if i click “update,” to update to version 1.3, will my credit card be charged $5? i downloaded version 1.2 for free via the mac app store browser. Under “Vision,” it asks me for one woord how I want to be remembered and crap like that.I’m confused about the price status of this software. Now we’re starting to get into woo-woo territory. But then I get to the environment screen and it’s asking me to describe what I think defines things like a happy person, economic success, and inner peace. It asks me to list my strengths and skills, achievements, and contributions. Huh? Okay, so I tried the mission builder next. Then it asked me to add a mission statement. I went into the compass section and it asked me if I wanted to start the builder. ![]() Still, I decided to give the trial a shot. If you’re going to charge people a $25 annual subscription, then at least put forward a professional product. Especially given that the welcome screen had buttons where the text wasn’t properly centered within the button. And what I found was that all the sections in Domini Lite, such as compass and goals, were only available through a paid subscription. So I downloaded interested in trying the free version. I had Opus Domini Lite downloaded a while ago, and while trying to search for information on what some of that stuff meant, I found out that there was a newer version called Opus One. ![]()
