Okay, I'm going to state this for the record, and I know it's going to be unpopular. This is about the hole mona contravercy, that shouldn't be one. On the one hand, I also paid for Mona max when Mona had the one time offer. At the time a one time payment was promised. But this thing called AI, which everyone wants access to in some way, has caused people to rethink how they keep a revenue stream. Not to mention building a hole new app from the ground up, can't be easy, and probably is very time consuming. The developer goes out of his way to make the app accessible, and that can't be said for every developer out there. Bottom line, he needs to keep a revenue stream going, or no more apps can be made. What is so hard to understand about this? I get the argument, he said one-time purchase, and at the time, I'm sure he ment it, but things have changed, making that option no longer viable. Go find another app if you want, or for those that can, go make one, but I promise you this, you won't find one that is as accessible or as flexible as Mona. Not to mention it works on IOS and mac. You don't have to pay for mona 7 if you don't want to, but stop trying to put him in a perverbiable armbar and make him submit to the demands of a group that he didn't have to develop for in the first place. We saw this with VDR, and we're starting to see it here, and it sickens me. You want to go after developers, go after the ones who actually do us wrong in the first place.
