To get the Premium features of ARES Touch, we invite you to buy a monthly renewable subscription from iTunes via In-App purchase, directly inside ARES Touch. If you purchased another Graebert software such as ARES Commander, and your subscription includes ARES Touch, you can simply use the same Graebert Account credentials (the one you use for other Graebert products) to log in inside ARES Touch, and this will unlock the Premium features for you.

If you subscribe via iTunes:
Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews on a monthly basis unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the rate of the offered plan. Auto-renewal subscriptions can be managed straightforwardly via the Account Settings on the device after purchase.

*2018-11-13*

The app is great. I think if we can add gps current location option while a map is open, will be very efficient to navigate, especially when we use Ares touch for large map. FYI I am using this app for Viewing NBN SAM’s drawing works perfectly. Thanks and appreciate the effort of developers.
