used this app during the ugly alpha Testflight days. Loved it and how responsive Christian was. When Pro came out I bought it and when Ultra came out I got lifetime.

Any lifetime members make the jump to Lemmy?

Anyone still using Reddit ? What app are you using? I’m on narwhal to check once a day for 5 minutes and I’m done.

Had Christian been able to figure out new pricing with the API, how do you think he would’ve handled Lifetime subscriptions? Create a Apollo 2.0 and say lifetime was only for lifetime of 1.0? Offer a legacy pricing / lifetime only perks to lifetime members?

He would’ve probably have to limit access for lifetime users because it would come out of his pocket every month :(.

Knowing the way Christian is, he would probably do some perk to lifetime users for us to not feel so bad, but we would have to pay monthly too.

To be clear, I was willing to pay monthly because I knew that was gonna hurt him substantially. I just would’ve been bummed if it was some silly “here’s some exclusive app icons” type perk or a “here’s a exclusive theme” but I don’t know what else he could’ve done to offset that monthly price. Honestly a lifetime member is probably also a heavy API user so I doubt he could’ve done a much of a discount for them in retrospect.
