Thank you so much for the kind review! 🤓
New subscription!
Response from developer
Your data is not locked behind a subscription, so you can export all your data to use in another app of your choosing at any time. I’ve made sure of that. I’m sorry you feel the modest fee is not worth paying, especially as a medical professional. The single licence fee was unsustainable for me so it was either this or I remove Somnus from the App Store entirely. Details and explanation are in the FAQ on the website. Kind regards, Paul
Glitch in the new Update
Response from developer
Thanks for the review and feedback. I have run into a few little glitches that some users on iPhone are also experiencing and it IS annoying, I agree. I'm doing my best to rectify this and v10.0.7 should address them. I've been working on this non-stop for the past few weeks. Thanks for your patience.
New update broke app
Response from developer
I’m sorry you’re having issues and I’d like to help sort it out for you but I can’t as you have either not contacted me or not read my reply. I reply to every email I receive within 24 hours. Not sure how I can reply to ‘nothing’. If you recently purchased (ie since late 2024) Somnus before I made it FREE for two months before moving to the subscription model, please let me know and see the website for details. I also note that you’re not actually on the latest update (which is currently 10.0.3).
Purchased One-Time Payment
Response from developer
I hear your frustration, and I genuinely appreciate that you were an early supporter of Somnus. I make almost no worthy income from this venture. When I first released the app over six years ago, it was a one-time purchase, and many users paid just $30 (many much less less) for unlimited access, updates, and support. Since then, I’ve added countless features, maintained the app, answered every support request personally, and continued improving it in my spare time - all while working full-time as an Anaesthetist. At some point, to keep the app sustainable, I had to move to a subscription model. I didn’t make that decision lightly. Subscription will hopefully allow me to keep supporting and evolving Somnus well into the future without feeling like it's a burden. Even now, users can still fully access and export their data without subscribing—the subscription only applies to adding new data. For those who bought the app just before the change, I’ve even offered a free year of subscription. I understand this model may not suit everyone, but I hope people can see the value that’s gone into the app over the years, and the need to support it moving forward. Thank you again for using Somnus, and for your support in the early days.
