Reviews of Train Beacon

App has changed from “Pay Once” to “Subscribe to Use”

I paid for this app a few years ago and used it occasionally and found it quite handy.

Recently it was changed to a subscription model. Those who had already paid for the app are now deemed “free users” meaning we get the same bare bones app that new users receive.

It was worth paying a one-off fee, however £4.99/month is way overpriced.
