I love MindNode, and I’m really sorry to write this review. I’m a user for at least 8 years. I’m not using it on a daily basis, but I’m using it regularly. I’m happy to pay for a lifetime license or for incremental updates when they bring useful or innovative new features. I’m not happy to pay a yearly rental fee for the same feature set I’m using. And also it makes me really disappointed if there is a new feature I’d like to use, the only way to do is the subscription.
Thank you for the review. I understand your point of view. Some of the reasons that led to our switch in the business model are that a subscription allows us to deliver updates to our users much more frequently. It also provides us with a stable roadmap for the future where we can continue to adopt new Apple technologies on time. In addition, it also makes pricing much more predictable for the customers. For example, with the monthly subscription, you only have to pay for Plus features at times when you really need them. I hope this clears things up a little. Also, since we have no intention to take anything away from our users, you can continue using the version you initially purchased.
