I don't mind paying a price for accessibility, but when multiple people
state they want a monthly subscription to try the app, and then that
feature
isn't listed in the top eight, IMO, it shows the company isn't truly
listening to what we as customers want. Mike said he wanted a monthly
subscription, but it was harder to implement than he thought. Does this
mean
Senderro would rather program softball solutions into their products and
rely on their reputation and the words of others to sell their products?
I
suspect so. If Senderro truly wanted a monthly membership option, then
instead of 'looking into it,' they would be 'working tirelessly to ensure
we
are meeting the needs and desires of our current and future customers.'
I thought about posting a low review for this app based on my frustration
with Mr. May's wish to rely on reputation and review over customer
wishes,
but I didn't because I realize most people don't know who I am and
wouldn't
care how I reviewed the product, plus those people who love Senderro and
are
going to buy it won't read the reviews anyway.
Besides, if there ever is a monthly license, and I do try it, I'm sure
I'll
most likely end of buying it and wanting to give the app a high review.
I'm
holding out for the optimistic outcome rather than voicing negativity on
the
review page in the short run

Hello, I totally agree with what Mike said in this post. I too would also
like to see people discuss features and not write such poor reviews in
the
App Store simply because of the price. I love the app, and I love what
Mike
and Charles have done to make it worthwhile to get. I don't mind paying a
little bit of a price for accessibility.

It is true that Apple does not offer either trials or monthly

Suppliers have found ways to do this outside Apple and we will see
what is involved in this. As I made clear in the podcast, we
originally wanted to have a monthly subscription for this app but that
was not as easy as I hoped.
Also, as I said, 90% of apps do not turn a profit. Expecting the price
to be lower than it is so that Sendero does not stay in business or
does not improve features, is pretty short-sighted.
There are other options for navigation information so if folks are not
comfortable spending $69 based on Sendero's reputation of 13 years
developing accessible GPS or the feedback of other users, vote with
your credit card. The beauty of the market these days is that you have
options and that is a very good thing. Many people think Seeing Eye
GPS is an option but there are other choices. Heck, we even got
complaints about the $4.99 price for Sendero Lookaround. Seems
embarrassing.
I'd love to see the dialog get off the dirt cheap IOS price point and
on to features and functionality.

Hi all,
The features list on which people can vote made no mention of a
cheaper subscription option, and I did not write one in since that
seems more a pricing decision than an app feature. I just wanted to
remind Sendero that, at least from what I've seen, they are losing a
lot of business since people do not want to drop $70 on the hearsay of
others. The lack of a cheap subscription, or even a "lite" version of
the app with restricted features, is a major sticking point which
should, I feel, be addressed in addition to the app features now being
voted on.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
