No lifetime upgrade option for former full license customers

I had bought a full license for Screens iOS and macOS. Now the manufacturer is simply releasing a "new" unversal version and doesn't even offer a lifetime upgrade option but charges the full (more expensive) amount for a "lifetime" license. To me, that borders on fraud. Support even has the audacity to respond to my query with the following: "The offer is for the annual subscription only. However, keep in mind that Lifetime already brings significant long-term savings." Absolutely dubious business practices!

Lifetime License???

I bought a lifetime license for MacOS and iOS a while ago and now I have to buy another license? The idea of a lifetime license is very straight forward, right?

I contacted the support and here is what they had to say:

"We understand that the transition from a lifetime license to a subscription model may have raised questions and uncertainties. We apologize for any frustration this has caused. While we do not have a direct "lifetime 4" to Screens 5 upgrade option, we value your feedback."

"We understand the importance of trust,..." I don't think they do!

Stay away from that company. This is how they tread loyal customers. I just deleted their software. Never again!

Developer Response ,

Hi! We do offer a 50% discount for previous users that choose to opt of an annual subscription. Keep in mind that Lifetime already brings significant long-term savings as Screes 5 will be around for many years. Also, please take into account that the app is now universal, accessible across all your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and Mac). Previously, acquiring both Screens 4 for iOS and Mac involved separate costs. The Lifetime subscription offers a comprehensive solution. Have a wonderful day!
