Evil Plan to Make You Upgrade – Informant - Agenda, Tasks, Notes Planner Review

Alex and co. responded to one user that the move to a subscription model and version 5 vs. upgrading version 4.xx is not an evil plan to make users upgrade by holding functionality or access to the users own data hostage. Unfortunately, the “bug” that cripples the app has never been fixed. You know, the “bug” that Alex referred to that makes it impossible to use the app if you need EVER to go into Settings (due to the impossible to avoid version 5 upgrade sales pitch). I am actually avoiding going into Settings after reading the posts by others, as I don’t want to have to do the Recovery workaround Alex and co. recommended of downloading a file to my desktop, sharing the file with the Informant app, etc. every time I accidentally I try to go to settings and get into the version 5 upgrade loop. Without the ability to go into Settings, the app is crippled and I think I will have trouble or be unable to export tasks to another task manager and I will have to do it all manually! After being a longtime user of Informant on Windows mobile and iOS from day one, I lost confidence in the app and company after numerous version upgrade fiascos and never really got much functionality from it on iOS after a couple years of frustration and migrated a lot of task data to another task manager, but still have a lot of recurring tasks and historical data still in Informant unfortunately. I will be seeking a refund from Apple. Alex and co. (WebIS is now Fanatic Software?) should not get away with this without some financial impact.
