Price sorry to say they cannot escape this because competition is cheaper. The competition may not be as good for me but cheaper is cheaper. When more than one app enters the market and are close price does need to be fought out even at the cost of the developers as that is business.
All I would say is try it before you decide on just price. It is worth that as many like me are happy to pay to keep this app going. YMMV.

I state in my above post this needs a slight price drop it is about $5 too high considering competition and probably should be the same price as NZBVortex if the developer plans to be competitive.
I can't see the upgrade policy as anything to moan about with NZBDrop. I can't see how these apps upgrade polices are so very different.
I also state the developer is slow to respond but he has never once not responded to any query I have made. The NZBVortex developer is not that much different. Spoke to both these guys both give good answers but both have lag time being small companies.
Two stars "is" stupid; the quality of the software deserves more. How can NZBVortex be 2 & 1/2 times better when it is almost the same.
You may drop one for price but not 2 & 1/2.
I have both and I use this more but YMMV. I am hardly telling people to use it. I don't think in any way I am being bad saying two stars is not a fair representation of this application.
Thanks for the dislike I really did write total nonsense aye. I apologise.

If you think that the app is worth 5 stars, good for you, I respect your right to that opinion. You should do the same for others instead of imposing your standards on others and excepting them to follow suit.

Were this priced more realistically I might consider it.

Lately I decided that 1.4 is really outdated and needed to upgrade. I compared NBZ Drop 2.04 to NBZ Vortex; both are great apps but decided on the latter not only because it is cheaper given comparative features but also because Ascar's support is non-existent. They have never replied my request for help both on their website and on email when I had problems with version 1.3.

NZBVortex is the best NZB client around at the moment & at just $14.99 is $5 less for the whole application than it is for me to upgrade to v2 of NZB drop - that says it all.
Upgrades should be free, but if you have to charge at all, a reasonable fee like $9.99 would be far more fair - after all I've already paid you once.
NZB Drop is a nice app but overpriced - especially for the upgraders.
NZB Vortex is better & cheaper and (so far) hasn't charged a penny for the upgrades either.
Until NZB drop lowers its price point it represents poor value for money.

SABnzb is free and has more functions. Nices of this is that you give it a .nzb and end up with the endproduct whereby SABnzb deletes everything that is not needed anymore.

I've paid TWICE for two different versions of NZBDrop, and I'm very happy with the results.

However, I have noticed that if used over a period of 3-4 days, eventually NZB Drop will start failing to work, downloads will slow to a crawl before eventually the app stops responding at all....
I will now look at quitting and restarting the app on a daily basis to see if this allows me to avoid the problem.

I wrote to Ascar Corporation twice, once on their website following a few weeks later by an email to the developer who had sent me the serial number. In neither case did I receive a reply. I have been waiting since.
Therefore be forwarn that if you buy a license there is no support although the deveoper's website claims otherwise.
