Reply-To: hello@flicktype.groups.io

Hello,
When Fleksy first came out I paid nineteen dollars and ninety nine cents as a one time purchase price. Unfortunately, even this high purchase price did not generate enough revenue to sustain the app, so they released it to the general public.
In order to please the masses the developers had to make Fleksy appear more like a qwerty keyboard, which made Fleksy almost impossible for the visually impaired to operate.

As you can see, a one time purchase price will have to be very expensive to fund ongoing improvements, maintenance and other languages.

Ninety nine cents a month is surely affordable for anyone who owns an iPhone and will generate a steady revenue flow, so FlickType will not end up in the scrap heap like Fleksy.

Chuck

PS. Three and a half cents a day seems like a steal for a handful of magic.  😎

From the developer:

As we have a developing product that we will be making considerable updates

and improvements to, coupled with a small market, an ongoing subscription

model is the best way to ensure that the project is sustainable and will be

around for a long time. This, as well as the fact that we want to ensure

everyone is paying for what they’re using and not paying a one time

purchase for a product that they don't use a year or two down the road, we

feel that a subscription is best for everyone. That being said, things are

not set in stone as we are going to be fluid and adaptable to the

circumstances.

Please let us know if you have any other questions,

Ashley

Hi,

I just opened FlickType and went to the upgrade tab.

I see that when it’s released, FlickType will require a monthly $0.99

subscription.

I don’t understand why this is.

Can you please explain why you feel this is necessary, & consider making

it a 1-time purchase?

A lot of us, myself included, have limited funding available, and can only

use iTunes cards to purchase items from the App Store and iTunes.

When paying for a subscription, that funding disappears very quickly.

Thanks for your understanding,

Jessica

Thank you Chuck, and really sorry for the huge inconvenience. This
must be extremely frustrating. I am investigating and will keep you
updated.

Thanks for defending us, even in the face of such issues, smile.

Build 114. Losing text again!
Hi Kosta,
While typing a long email defending the ninety nine cent subscription for FlickType, the screen flashed three times, went red, and I lost half my text. This happened about two fourteen PDT

I went back and started typing again, once I finished I changed to the iOS keyboard to see that what I just typed, wasn't there.

I am using Classic to type this. Chuck

Just wanted to check in and see if anyone had any new issues with build 112. It has a fix for a rare text loss issue but we want to make sure we didn't break anything else in the process.

If you feel like you've used it long enough without issues please let us know and we will push it to beta.

Thank you,
