Yeah, absolutely not. Drawboard was cool. It was a real loss. And also infuriating that I "bought" it, only to have the app lock me out of "premium" features later.

They absolutely would've been able to grandfather users that paid before the subscription was added. Pure greed and they know you can't do anything about it aside from leaving a bad review.
