### 2/5 — Ohne Pro nicht viel los

*2024-02-17*

Habe die App geladen, doch beim Versuch sie zu testen, stieß ich sofort an die Pro-Grenze mit der Aufforderung zahlen zu sollen.

Ein gründlicher Test war so nicht möglich - und das Abomodell erweckt kein Vertrauen und ist ein k.o. - Argument für mich.

Da ich mit dem freien Möglichkeiten keinen Nutzen finden konnte, gibt es nur für den Ansatz Openstreetmap zu nutzen einen zweiten Stern. Das Programm selbst ist ohne zu zahlen unbrauchbar.

**Developer response:** Danke für die Rückmeldung. Das Abo ist nötig, um die kosten für die OpenStreetMap-Server zu finanzieren. Derzeit ist es möglich, das Jahresabo zwei Wochen lang kostenlos zu testen. Ich überlege aber auch, wie ich die Möglichkeit geben könnte, die App ohne das Abo testen zu können.
