  • Great App, creator, update

    Don’t Panic 🌍👍
    It’s a little confusing but it’s safe update.
    If you’re new, this is great app and you should definitely try it out.

    Kudos to the creator of this app for taking care of the longtime users.
    If you’ve been burned by other apps, it’s understandable but don’t worry this dev is managing a transition as well as possible with the App Store framework. I upgraded mine successfully.

    There is:
    Spyglass, Spyglass Pro, and Spyglass Plus.
    If you paid for to upgrade previously to Pro grab the new version, ignore the expired subscription notice, and Restore Purchase in the app’s settings menu. You will have Pro again.
    If you had just Spyglass before v3,31 it looks like (ie I may be wrong) the developer is giving you Pro as well, which is generous.
    There is also an option to subscribe right now to Plus at a discount for maps and places when offline. The Pro features do not need a Plus subscription.

    I really enjoy this app. It’s very cool, has never given me problems, and does what it says. The creator is still maintaining it all these years on and hopefully this transition helps keep it profitable to do so for many more to come.

  • Good app, terrible customer service, unethical business practices.

    This was a good app. I even paid for the full version. Then one day I launched the app and was met with “your Subscription Has Expired.” Basically saying, you paid the price we ask for our app, but now we want more money from you. How about NO! I will bought a hand held compass. Buy once and done. Just like the original agreement I had with this developer. I hate Subscriptions for apps, especially ones I already paid for.

    Update; AppDeveloper says; “It OK to hate subscriptions, but they are necessary…”.

    In other words, we don’t care that you don’t want to pay for your app multiple times, or that we violate our original agreement with you. We like the money, so you lose.

    Developer Response

    By design it should have provided a complete premium experience without any annoying messages. I do apologize for the bug because of which you got the message. Though subscriptions are necessary to provide additional licensed content and services, it is OK about NO said to subscriptions, if you do not want to.
  • Loved this app for years

    Out of the blocks - what a great-looking app! The UI is totally hip for those into sci-fi tech and it's on my phone. The app does what it says and lots of personal options to be fiddled with which gives hours of “playtime”. All that under the free model.

    Now the cinch - Pro FREE - are you kidding me? Sweet and generous. Simply a beautiful, functional app. Well done all the way around.
