Something You Should Know... – Lumen Tracker - Health, Fitness & GTD Hub Review

There was an older version of this app that included features from both Lumen Notes and Lumen Tracker, called Lumen Trails. It is an incredibly flexible app that I use daily. Naturally, I gave it a glowing 5-star review. I bought Lumen Trails for a one-time fee, but it has since been pulled from the App Store. In the Lumen Trails app, the creators posted a notification assuring users it would still be supported, but I am already experiencing issues with the new IOS 10 release. This is my first time having issues with a new software update. So much for promises of "continued support." This company, Lumen Spark, split the features of Lumen Trails into two separate apps (Lumen Notes & Lumen Tracker) and want users to pay a monthly fee for each app totaling $6/month. I'm sad to see them joining the greedy App Store trend toward monthly subscriptions and multiple app releases, rather than putting all the features into one app for a one-time fee. If they simply came out with an updated Lumen Trails v2 for a new one-time price, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! However, I cannot support this penny pinching business practice. So many of my favorite apps have become subscription-based services, that if I paid for them all, I'd be throwing down $282 a month! I use all the features of Lumen Trails interchangeably, and don't want to have to open (and pay monthly for) two different apps to see the information I need. Separating the features makes many of the uses I had for Lumen Trails quite useless. Lumen Spark lost a loyal customer today. I'll keep using Lumen Trails until it stops working, which appears to be soon. :(
