@VioletChepil You did indeed use TestFlight at one time. I still have it sitting in TestFlight though it was for an older build I was testing for you.

VioletChepil said:I wish there was more to tell @Pooh
Maybe expand a bit on the 'Bugfixes' section?So that individuals who are experiencing something very specific they can see if it's addressed in the most recent release?"There's a fine line between audacity and idiocy."

Are the release notes missing a Fingbox update, @VioletChepil? My Fingbox tells me it's on 1.14.5, release notes go up to 1.14.0...
Let me guess... "Bugfixes"?
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.0 -
So, how does a bear sign up to be a crash test bear for the iOS version?VioletChepil said:And @Marc just to confirm, yes on iOS, we're also using TestFlight!People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.1 -
Ah yes @Pooh it's bugfixes: generic. I'm updating the master release notes now.

$2.49 for a year? "It's a deal, it's a steal, it's Sale of the **** Century!" (Tom, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" - 1998)
Still, I'd rather the $99 for Life - with "Free" Fingbox
Glad you guys put this option in though!People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

As others have noted, with Fingbox it's ad-free anyway. However as a former Fing user (pre-box) for many years I always liked the ad-free nature of the App. I recognize that revenue has to come from somewhere, so my first criterion when looking at a new App is to look whether there is an ad-free option with a price I'm willing to pay. (I do not even bother to check whether an App can do what I want until I have checked whether it can be made ad-free for a reasonable price.) I have always liked "Lifetime" subscriptions, but I am getting to an age where sometimes year-by-year payments might be cheaper.--Pete

Thanks @pwmeek for the feedback. We're pretty keen to see how ads free works out for us. As you know being an app user for many years this is the first time we're trying it!

Definitely a good idea to have done this in my opinion. Can you give us any hints about how well it's working @VioletChepil ?! Does it look like it's going to allow for accelerated dev of the product ?2
-
Definitely not much $2.49 for a year, and a lot more honest that some lifetime apps that in the end just change name in a couple of years to restart charging another lifetime purchase... Unfortunately won't be appreciated by many people. I have a box so no worries. But got somehow disappointed to see ads in Fing... felt like the end of something good...2
-
I should also say that since IOS 11 Apple has prevented all apps from getting MAC addresses. This makes the usefulness of all these tools significantly less. Making the whole purpose of the app far less. So paying for any app that can not show mac-address any more is a hard sell.
