My personal opinion

- Any dev can add new features via in-app purchases if sufficiently motivated. The idea that devs must eventually release an all-new version to keep continue their revenue stream - it just isn’t true. Unfortunately, adding a feature as an optional purchase is 1) easier if they design their software for that from the beginning and 2) is more difficult than releasing an “all new” version.

- This loss of sync options kills it for me, and I’ve been a Day One admirer since day 1 (ha-ha!). I am a former info-sec professional for a Fortune 500 company. If there are rules of thumb in that field, then one of them is definitely that _everyone_ overestimates their ability to secure something. I am appropriately concerned about my data’s security with the likes of Dropbox, Evernote, and sure, iCloud. Even companies selling “security products” like LastPass and 1Password find themselves in big trouble. My point: the makers of Day One should stick to their day jobs making day things - outsource this particular feature to the vendor(s) of our choosing.
