Ratings and Reviews
Très riche et complet... mais bugué
iDesign est une application riche d'options, elle est digne d'Illustrator, c'est dire ! Malheureusement, elle crashe régulièrement sans qu'on parvienne à comprendre pourquoi. Dommage, je lui aurais facilement mis 5 étoiles.
Appli complète
Très bonne appli à mon goût, on y retrouve les codes du dessin technique.
Évidemment les personnes cherchant une application de gribouillage seront déçues.
Pourquoi ce qui ont payé doivent payer un abonnement
Pourquoi une application payante de base passe a gratuit et il faut repayer.
Il ya des autres applications gratuites et il ne demande pas d'abonnement
Developer Response ,
Merci pour votre avis. iDesign a été mis à jour et pris en charge au cours des 13 dernières années pour un faible prix d'achat unique. De nombreux utilisateurs bénéficient de mises à jour et d'une assistance gratuites depuis plus d'une décennie. Cela n'est plus durable et pour que l'application continue à être développée et prise en charge, il était nécessaire de passer à un modèle d'abonnement (une décision difficile pour un petit développeur de continuer à servir l'application et ses utilisateurs pour les années à venir). Tous vos fichiers de conception sont accessibles même sans abonnement avec des options d'exportation complètes incluses lorsque vous n'êtes pas abonné.
Les informations de mise à jour de version mentionnent clairement les modifications et les utilisateurs ont toujours eu le choix de mettre à jour, les mises à jour gratuites et les nouvelles versions ont un coût important pour le développeur et ne peuvent pas être fournies gratuitement pour toujours.
L'option d'abonnement annuel est bien réduite (elle revient à moins que le prix d'une tasse de café par mois) et son prix est bien inférieur à celui des applications de capacité similaire. J'espère que vous pourrez voir la valeur de ce que l'application peut fournir et vous abonner pour attendre avec impatience que l'application soit développée et prise en charge à l'avenir.
