I don't really want to be defensive about the pricing for the Seeing Eye app so I will leave it to others to debate this point. I know a few people think any price is too much in the iPhone high volume low price world. I believe most people can do the math and know what we are up against creating a specialized app for a small market. We would have preferred to have one lifetime license. Our map provider would not offer that as an option. We don't know why but we were stuck with this 1 and 3 year situation. It could be that they are shifting to this model away from lifetime licenses so when others have to renew their contracts, they will face this as well. We saw the same thing with Wayfinder back in the day.
