I'm surprised at the amount of negativity in the comments. I use several of the tools and they are great. They do one thing well and don't have the feature bloat that a lot of apps suffer from.
- crop_rotation 3y agoHN is full of negativity against anything that is paid and is a consumer product.
- user_7832 3y agoI don't think that's necessarily fair in this context, the app's USP initially was being free and solid/good quality. Without the free part it's not the same.
- user_7832 3y agoAs someone who's a bit disappointed by the app, here's my perspective - 1. In the beginning, these were completely free apps with no limitations (that I remember). 2. Then some features required a payment (if you were getting it from the play store apparently. I don't know about fdroid but I don't think that was advertised - and yes, apps like TaskbarX do advertise that they're free elsewhere.) 3. People called it (rightfully, in my opinion) akin to a bait-and-switch. "But wait, you never paid anything! What's the problem?" Well, if they were never offered under the guise of "Hey here's a foss app that's free!" - like ZorinOS - it might have been an easier pill to swallow. Some people including me paid for the "Thank You" version because we wanted to support a dev who was doing commendable work. But if you make it paid... that's kinda crappy. Also (maybe?) see - OpenAI happily running away with money now that they can. Do you support that decision too?
