“We are a small company, so we designed the original one-year access plan as a precautionary measure since we were not certain if we could support lifetime access. We sincerely apologize for putting our current users in this position.”
----- Notability Team
Nobody is asking for a "lifetime access" okay? Sounds like I'm being a dick and bullying the whole developing team to work for me indefinitely.
Just because you can't guarantee a lifetime software support doesn't mean you can take away the developed feature from paid users, these are two completely different concepts.
The damage has been done, the trust has been broken. A big fuck you to Ginger Lab. I wonder why this build was able to pass the App store review. Apple is definitely encouraging more and more developers to shift to a subscription business model.

我们是个小公司, 虽然你付了钱, 但我们也不能给你们终身使用. 但是现在骂的人太多 , 没办法 ,你自己买的东西那还算是你的吧.

仔细想想,也是被恶心到了,明明购买的,突然全都转订阅,骂了一天才改回来一点,可还是留了一手,
就和知乎这个回答似的 https://www.zhihu.com/question/496284383/answer/2203785797 下定决心转了 |

@Scare #6 我觉得这个答主有些阴谋论了,可
这个 app 不存在垄断的地位那么这一波操作对它口碑的影响是无法挽救的。无论资本还是管理层不可能做出这种自杀式的决策。黑红也是红在商业环境不可能行得通呀 |

Everyone who purchased Notability prior to our switch to subscription on November 1st, 2021 will have lifetime access to all existing features and any content previously purchased in the app.
This includes the core Notability experience that users know and love, including unlimited editing, iCloud sync, and any features or content that was previously purchased through the Notability Shop. Future features we develop may also be included, depending on their complexity and cost to maintain.也说了后续开发的 feature 也可以使用,只是取决于 feature 的复杂度和维护成本(也许就有终生用户单独购买 feature ,订阅用户直接享受呢) |
