Dr. Ranffts bemerkenswerte Arbeit

Die bemerkenswerte Arbeit die Dr. Ranfft geleistet hat, lebt in dieser App weiter. Leider wird diese nun genutzt, um mit einer anderen App des Autors Geld zu verdienen, was mir persönlich sauer aufstößt.
Bei jeder Suche wird ein Fenster eingeblendet, dass es eine andere „bessere“ App gibt. Hier würde der Hinweis EINMAL ausreichen. In der anderen App erhält man dieselbe Fülle an Infos allerdings nur, wenn man ein teures Abo abschließt. Dabei greift der Autor größtenteils auch nur die kostenfreien Infos von Dr. Ranfft ab.

Response from developer

Looks like you did misunderstood something. Everything you had in this app is still available and always be available in the other app completely FREE (but improved and updated with new data). Optional paid subscription offers additional functionality and data which was never available with this app. Thanks to subscribers the new app is being regularly improved with new data from rare and expensive catalogues and reference books, saving time and money for users, and the new app maintained and developed. If you think someone here is making any money on the app, you have absolutely no idea how much it costs to create and maintain the app of this scale.

Big thanks for saving this resource

I granted just 4 stars because there is no search function active in this app. Otherwise it is REALLY GREAT to have this important resource available again. Thanks very much for the effort you did to recreate all the data!

Response from developer

Unfortunately all original data required for search functionality was lost inevitably. Good news - last year I put a lot of effort on another app which will have updated data and very advanced search (under paid subscription plan) and currently it's planned to be released during January 2025!

Thank you!

We have all been at a loss since Mr Ranffts passing. You have helped to carry on his legacy. Extremely generous of you to do all this work, and distribute it freely. Hats off to you.
