订阅制，转，都可以转，但是 Notability 做的挺绝的

[zhaidoudou123]

这么多年下来，转订阅制的应用也挺多了。
有的本来就是大版本买断，转订阅制以后也没啥新功能的大不了我继续用旧版，比如 Tweetbot 。新版有让我眼前一亮的功能的我就会订阅，比如 1Password 。
有的本来就是一直买断，转了免费高级功能内购，人家还给老用户保留原本就有的功能，比如 PDF Expert ，比如 Day One ，我需要用到更高级的功能的时候我就会内购订阅。

有的呢，转了订阅制，原本买断的功能放到高级功能里，订阅了才能用，老用户升级，给个一年订阅就打发了，到期了连个最基本的导出功能都不给，这就是 Notability.
他做的也太绝啦！

不知道下一个买断转订阅的会是谁呢

关闭自动更新，死守最后一个版本？

[dingwen07]

仔细一想，这其实是苹果生态的问题，苹果的某些操作有意无意促进了这种软件的诞生。

还好我很早就转了 OneNote ，GoodNotes 和 Notability 的笔记管理太弱，买来之后一直闲置。。。

[SingeeKing]

给的都不是一年订阅而是一年的原有功能使用权

[Lagrangist]

还好睡不着看到这个帖子，立马关闭自动更新

把 iCloud sync 和 note edit 做成 Premium feature ，真是绝了...

[Mirage09]

我甚至觉得这是诈骗，之前买断的时候可没说某一天这些基本功能需要订阅...

[xsx107]

作为一个白嫖了他们好多年的用户，我决定给他们付订阅费。。

建议大家在 Medium （楼上有链接）留言反对+点赞反对的留言来抗议。

Apple’s guidelines, 3.1.2(a) states:

“If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For examples, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.”

我觉得可以跟 Apple 投诉一波

What counts as an edit?
Edits are directly tied to your usage of the app and are counted as any changes you make in a session like handwriting, erasing, or adding text or media.

Recording and modifying audio do not count as edits nor does adding or moving notes/pages.

If you're using the free version of the app, you will be given an editing allowance each month. You can track the status of your remaining edits in the settings menu, and at any point can choose to subscribe to unlock unlimited editing.

笑出声，还用什么 monthly editing allowance ，搞得好像是它大发慈悲让我用一样。

What about iCloud Syncing and Auto-Backup?
Subscribing will unlock iCloud Syncing and Auto-Backup.

看来他们是铁了心了。

付费策略的转变能理解，但这波 nota 的操作太不厚道了，必须抨击！

这个不符合苹果商店的条例吧。转订阅不能 compromise 之前已经买的功能。

[Remember]

tweetbot 现在还能不能从已购里面安装旧版本？ 好像 AppStore 已经下架了。

[Monchee]

终于有迁移到 goodnotes 的理由了

[saite]

连小红书上面都是一片骂声😂这回真的惹众怒了

[INFP]

@Mirage09 笑死，就是这么对待买断制付费用户的？

已经掏了钱买断了 App 功能的人，2022 年 11 月起我大发慈悲允许你每个月写 1000 划，擦掉重写的也计算笔划哦，超过部分请订阅。

[dingwen07]

@Mirage09 #10 它给已购买的用户一年时间，有没有可能算是绕过了这个条款？

[Mirage09]

@Perry 感谢，这里面有人给出了 report 链接：

Report them here: https://reportaproblem.apple.com/store/360593530/select/fraudulent （需要用购买的 Apple ID 登陆）

Copy/Paste if you want: As of the new update to Notability (version 11.0), the developer has stated those who purchased the app before it was free will only have the functionality they paid for, for the next year, and will then be downgraded to the free version. This is against App Store guidelines section 3.1.2(a) which states that an app switching to a subscription model cannot remove features for those who have previously purchased the app


@dingwen07 你可以看看楼上有人放的 reddit 链接，我觉得不用管那么多，report 就完事了。

@INFP 这个 free version 其实就是试用版，强行 downgrade 付费用户，第一次见...
