NovaMind Subscription

I’m not a fan of software subscriptions, especially ones where you can no longer use the app if you stop paying.

If there’s any genuine reason that the subscription model is better for the customer it is only this: It may help the developer stay in business longer and keep on developing the product.

Even with that, it may be counter productive for the user. The developer may have less incentive to improve the product once it is subscription based, as a opposed to continually adding features and improvements to be able to charge an upgrade fee.

Unfortunately, subscriptions seem to be where the industry is heading.
