If they told everyone this was going to be the release with ads nobody would be testing it. I think they deserve to get paid for the excellent job they’ve been doing as well as keeping everybody in the loop and timely updates. I will be buying the premium version here in about two weeks when it is released.

Why not make a lite version and a paid version, like socialscope?

Yes, it was never secret that there would be a paid version. However, the developers never let beta users know that there would be ads. Which kind of feels like a “thank-you for helping us develop the software and now pay us or look at these ads”. I have a problem with software like that. And then when I didn’t want to upgrade, every time I started the app it “reminded” me to upgrade, making it nag-ware.

I agree. The ads aren’t too bad and developers gotta eat! I will probably buy the premium version.

It was never a secret that a premium version was coming. I can’t believe that this is a big deal.
