Yeah its a really bad look and the $30 price tag is so intense. Procreate Dreams is $20 for a fully fledged animation program that competes with Adobe Animate…
$5 would be reasonable. I bought Toot because it’s a good mastodon app. But I won’t be paying any subscription for any apps.
I’m glad to see this topic come up because it’s been weighing on me too. I want to support the devs but the $30 lifetime price is just way too high unless it covers iOS, iPad, AND macOS apps (with syncing!)
In addition to the extremely high price, not even being able to ‘trial’ the fully featured app is just… weird.
I stopped using Avelon when they paywalled a bunch of features and just over the course of writing this comment I think I’ve decided I don’t want to support a dev like this 😕
I only use ios so the bundle wouldn’t do anything for me. I just wanna pay once for an app. This whole renting this is getting absurd why does every app expect to soo much payment when massive apps like Procreate and Procreate Dreams understand they can pay their teams with one time payment of apps
I was talking about the $30 lifetime price. Absolutely no way I would subscribe and pay monthly.
Me too. I liked Avelon at first and was even on TestFlight, but a subscription (or $30) for the jump button is ridiculous.
When I saw the pro option on TestFlight, I was hoping pro would be something reasonable like a one-time $5 or $10, but nope, everything is a subscription now.
What are you using now? It’s the most polished app I’ve seen so far
Mlem just had a huge update that I'm enjoying quite a bit now. You should definitely check it out!
I decided to I oh do one month for no to test it. But I agree. It’s the nicest app in terms of functionalities for iOS but the pay is too steep and too restrictive.
It’s still too buggy for $30, plain and simple.
They only just added markdown editing, which I know isn’t trivial to do, but on the maturity feature curve this app is very young and I’d say Beta quality.
When I bought Apollo it already had all those features, was more stable, and much more reliable (e.g. things like back swipe didn’t accidentally upvote a random comment every time).
If you look at Android Boost and Sync are both very far ahead of anything on iOS and priced more reasonably.
TIL about Procreate Dreams, I’ve been wanting a good replacement for Adobe Flash for animation since CS6
I just learned about it today. Pretty amazing looking app.
