They will have made it free to get as many users as possible as that will
significnatly increase their chances of getting it as a built in keyboard in
IOS. They have maybe deliberately taken a risk to provide it free as if it
did get implimented as a built in keyboard they would get some kind of large
licencing fee from Apple. I paid the original price for the app and have no
problem with it being free now. Everything we buy comes down in price
eventually!

Subject: Re: Fleksy is now free
Hi, all.
I don't like Fleksy at all, so have no particular dog in this fight. I
didn't get it before and am not that interested in getting it now,
even though it is free, I don't use the on-screen keyboard and didn't
like the program, anyway, when I was working with it during the
testing period. Having said that, I am rather confused about what the
people here want the developers to do. Say you're a program developer,
and would, because you have found another source of funding for your
program, because you want to get your program on more devices, because
you want advertising revenue, because you want to give back to the
community, or whatever other reason you have, like to make your
program free of charge. Say that you couldn't do that from the very
beginning for whatever reason, or even say that you tried to make a
living profit on the program and found you couldn't, so decided to
take the goodwill of making the program free. What ought you to do?
Ought you to give a refund to all your purchasers? What if you've
already spent the money on such things as shelter and food? BTW, why
not do that whenever you have a sale? After all, there may be people
who bought just before the sale, so it would obviously be reasonable
to refund to everyone who purchased at the regular price. Ought you
not to make your program free, thus leaving other people to pay when
they need not and just collect whatever funds come in? Surely, that
would be depriving someone of a useful program if they couldn't pay
for it? What should the developers have done so as not to upset some
people, if I may ask?

Who doesn't? I think he's aggravated because the app has gone free. I
can
see both sides of the coin here though.
With Fleksy going free, he feels like he got ripped off. On the other
hand,
I waited and didn't purchase fleksy because with the lack of it being
among
my keyboards, I didn't feel the need to purchase it. With this product
now
free, it is my gain to use it.
Good things come to those who wait.
