Hey Sieghard,
did you send a message like the one you just sent to the list?  As I have 
said already, I do mot have a problem paying for the service, I simply have 
a problem with the pricing options available now.  I personally know of 
several people that have deleted the app and are very disappointed with the 
situation.  I do plan on telling them to email and come up with suggestions.

Hello Listers and Tap Tap See people,

I understand that many are disappointed that something which used to be free
now costs money. Of course when Fleksy which I think started out at $14.99,
went free after first dropping to $4.99 just as many people complained
because they wanted Fleksy right away so they spent the money. Well, it
happens all the time, prices go up and just because Tap Tap See was free
that doesn't mean it has to remain so or should remain so. After all, the
people behind Tap Tap See do have to have to live as well. What if Tap Tap
See had started out costing $4.99 for 100 pictures and then went up to
$7.99, would people have complained as much?

I think the most important thing, however, is that everybody who has
something to say regarding the cost whether it's good or bad should also CC
cont...@taptapseeapp.com because the developer, Image Searcher, is who
really needs to hear this. If people want them to reconsider their model or
pricing they have to let them know and it's not reasonable to assume or
expect that they should monitor the list for all these messages.

Before I found the Tweet on their website confirming that they are switching
to a subscription or pay per use model, I wrote to them asking for
clarification since even right now as I am writing this message I don't have
an update nor have I seen any message asking me to pay. I'm sure it's only a
matter of time, but since there seemed to be conflicting information out
there at first with some getting the message and some not, I just went on
their website and send a support email.

As I stated before, I will most likely buy the 100 images for $7.99 since
occasionally I do find the app extremely useful, but I will probably use
Camfind (same developer) and Talking Goggles first and only fall back on Tap
Tap See if I can't get a good result. It's not as if there are no
alternatives, there are in fact, many and I suspect 100 pictures will last
me half a year in which case the price is not an issue.

I do, however, agree that $10 a month is a bit steep, in fact, I think a
good monthly subscription price would be $4.99 and it would be nice if they
added an annual subscription, say for $39.99 or even $49.99 and they could
even offer a 3-year subscription like Sendero for say $99.99 and then people
who really use the service a lot would have a pretty reasonable way to get
it and use it as much as they want.

Let's hope Image Searcher is open towards considering other options and of
course if they do charge they are hopefully commited to keeping the updates
coming and to improving the service. I think at this point they do deserve
the benefit of the doubt and a chance to maybe respond and react to whatever
feedback you all are hopefully sending to them as well. Feedback and
constructive criticism is good, expressing outrage and getting mad are not.


Regards,
Sieghard

ten bucks a month? I would rather pay a flat fee for the app, but ten
dollars a month is a bit much, imo.
