P.S. Love Wotja? *Please* give a new rating for each update, it really helps us!
I’m not sure why the developer bothers to sell a permanent pro unlock.
I paid for “21 Pro” some years ago, figuring I could at least continue to use what I paid for indefinitely. It turns out that isn’t true at all. I’m no longer able to even install a build that respects my previous purchase, meaning I essentially paid for nothing.
I do understand the appeal of ongoing revenue, but if the “permanent” unlock is going to be time limited due to availability of a particular app version, what’s the point? What I paid for was apparently a subscription in all but name, except worse because you have no idea when the version you’re paying for will become unavailable.

Response from developer
Hi, you can ALWAYS redownload a previously purchased paid-for version of Wotja. It is easy to do, and we have a FAQ on that here: https://wotja.com/help/#wotja-redownload. If you have any difficulties in doing so, we recommend reaching out on our contact form. NB: We hope you can update your review once you have successfully completed your reinstall - tx!
As you know, we no longer sell paid-for versions which only got updates during the year in question. In 2023 we moved Wotja to be a free app with In-App Purchases and that was to allow us to provide rolling free updates for it - whether or not a user wishes to Go Pro to unlock New Features in any major version (and there are 3 different ways to Go Pro according to user preference).
Wotja is a very deep App and the two of us we work very hard on it, both to maintain it and to evolve it. Ongoing revenues are *not* a luxury for us (even though they are small). Without what we get from those who Go Pro in any major version then we would simply not be able to continue working on it - period.
I hope our explanations help and we have lots of detail in our FAQs, for example see: https://wotja.com/help/#iap-cost.
Best wishes from Tim and Pete.
