### 1/5 — C'est quoi ce truc pourri...

*2022-10-12*

Il faut soit acheter des pièces en consultant des docs soit payer une version pro, y a que des gamins qui font ça !
Ne perdez pas votre temps à télécharger ça, ça fait 20 ans que je n'ai pas vu un truc aussi nul...

**Developer response:** Cher commentateur,

Merci pour votre avis ! Il est important que nous entendions toutes les perspectives afin d'améliorer continuellement nos produits et services. Je comprends que payer pour une version professionnelle ou consulter des documentations ne soit pas toujours l'option préférée, mais veuillez considérer que derrière chaque application, il y a une personne qui investit son temps et son énergie pour créer des produits de qualité.

Une structure de paiement permet à cette personne de continuer son travail et de développer constamment le logiciel. Il est également important de mentionner que parfois nos attentes vis-à-vis des produits gratuits sont plus élevées que ce qu'ils peuvent offrir. Une évaluation constructive aide mieux cette personne à reconnaître ses forces et ses faiblesses et à s'améliorer.

Nous espérons que vous aurez une expérience plus agréable avec notre logiciel ou d'autres produits à l'avenir et vous invitons chaleureusement à nous faire part de vos suggestions d'amélioration concrètes.

Merci
