My most used app (by times per day)

I use Drafts as the original entry point for most everything I do. With its myriad number of actions there is little it can't do to help me keep track of daily events. This is my goto app to make notes, draft emails (no more oops!, "shouldn't have sent that", make date/time stamped notes (with textExpander), record my spending on the fly and so many other numerous things I don't remember. Oh yes, and to 'draft' this review.A previous review criticised the move to a subscription model in a somewhat negative manner. While I empathise with the pain of numerous subscriptions adding up to exorbitant amounts each month it does cause you to use / pay for only those who return value for money. Drafts is one such app, the payment is easily justifiable in my opinion if it keeps the developer supporting the self and therefore the app going forward.A definite 5 star app in my book.pete.

Feel ripped off

Draft 4 is a fully featured application that was fully paid for and now looks like at will no longer get updates. The update to Draft 5 has had the power features of Draft 4 ripped out and now the developer demands an exorbitant subscription fee to reintroduce them back into the app. As an individual who has already paid for the original app, I feel exploited and disappointed in the direction being adopted. Why, oh why didn’t the developer add the new features that were introduced, i.e. dark mode and alike as an in-app purchase instead of removing previously existing functionality. I for one will not or never pay the requested amount as it’s too expensive. Please remember the best customer you have is the one you already had - very, very disappointing.......

Great, but too expensive Ditto

I’m word for word in agreement with the earlier review under this heading. This is a truly great app, but now too expensive for occasional use. A great pity. I’ll go back to v4 while it’s still supported and then decide which of the alternatives will get the job done. Hope you can find a solution for Corporate users to fund development and cut the cost for indie users.

Another app to jump on the subscription train...

I have been buying different versions of this app for years, and I'm fine with that. I think I have bought three of the four different versions, all for between $8-$10. Now the new one comes out and costs as much as buying three of the previous apps PER YEAR. $28 a year may not be much in the scheme of things, but when every app under the sun is doing this, you'll be spending a lot of money very quickly. Let's say you want a good to do list, that would be another $30 a year. How about Argus for tracking activity. $22 a month or $47 a year. Say, I would love to have a nice journal, that will set you back a similar amount per year. Maybe a budgeting app for another $40 a year. Currently, in this situation I would be spending close to $200 a year for just four apps. Where their previous versions would cost you $30-$50 for all four. There's no real need for these incessant subscription services, other than the hope that people will forget/not realise they have subscribed and the company will make some money out of them each year until they remember. I'll be going back to a writing app that doesn't extort money out of you.
