FWIW, one of the biggest things I miss from QT was the email notifications (like when a new trip hits OT). I bet even if the company came up with their own version some day, it will never have that. The quick notification lets you grab the trip before someone else does. You do that once and you've paid for several years of the app with the one trip.
Yes perhaps it was a bit harsh but at the end of the day it’s just another pilot hobbyist developer that ran off with our money. Case closed.
Getting specific, yes you never HAD to pay for it. The notifications were good but as dera said, the way it caches it wasn’t really live as most of the time those trips were gone, ATTOT has been a dream lately. However that is a good point, if one notification got you a trip it did pay for itself.
My bitterness comes from the fact that once again, I’m out X amount of dollars because the developers didn’t do research as to the consequences of what their apps were doing. They were great apps, but they started out without the blessing of the company, which means they were doomed from the start unfortunately
