Yes, there are more 1-star reviews, but the reaction on Twitter has been mild. The Iconfactory did a good job by announcing the switch in December.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gedeon\/status\/1250215523113209857\">Ged Maheux<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gedeon\/status\/1250215523113209857\">\n<p>We tried to give users as much notice as possible instead of springing it on them which was a mistake with Twitterrific. In addition we gave anyone who bought it in the last year a free year without reminders. All these things helped I think.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It still leaves a bad taste because, as with Twitterrific, they took away a working app from people who had already paid. Ideally, customers who didn&rsquo;t want the new version could keep using the old one, without updates, but because of the way the App Store works, the only way to do that would be to read that the new version was coming, turn off auto-updates, manually update every <em>other<\/em> app, and never get a new phone or restore from backup. Alternatively, Iconfactory could have segmented the available features based on when you purchased, like <a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/29\/fantastical-3\/\">Fantastical did<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ged Maheux (tweet): Linea&rsquo;s new Time-Lapse feature keeps a running record of your drawing while you work.
