Supported this company with the first version of 1Password. Then paid again for a family version of v3 last year, as well as the paid version for the iPhone which has been somewhat of a let down... now they want more money. All so I can store/use passwords.
I've spent less money on other apps that I actually spend more time using daily. Guess I'll start searching for some alternatives before they start dropping support for v3.
Not sure why you're quoting this. I read this when I visited the page... I just find it ridiculous that if I pay the $24.99 to upgrade, I will have put close to $100 into an app that basically stores passwords for me conveniently.
They can do what they want with their pricing, but I agree. I just don't see the value at the current price points, especially the $18 iOS app. I'd be more inclined to upgrade at around $20 and $10. At $18 and $7 I'd already have pulled the trigger.
It's available as an early beta and pretty promising. Competition is always good and Apple will pushing AgileBits further when they release Mavericks with the iCloud Keychain.
