Firstly I completely respect your right to share your opinion and I'd be curious to know if others feel the same way. I must however defend our position and explain why we offer a free app with optional paid plugins. It's really quite simple. Why should a user have to pay for functionality they don't want. If you want to access a remote library to play tracks then why be made to pay for a download feature which you don't want.
Would it be better if the app was a 30 day demo and then didn't work at all until purchased?
Would it be better to limit the number of plays to say 30 plays and then cripple the app?
These are the decisions we have to make and we are 100% certain that we made the right one. Release a free app with some amazing functionality with an optional plugin to add another feature if people desire that feature. Perfect!!
I mean, if you were to try HookUp and see what we've basically given you for free you'd be amazed. With HookUp - completely for free - you can connect to another version of HookUp - again, the free app - and play tracks from EVERY iTUNES SHARE IN THAT ENTIRE REMOTE NETWORK!!
Even if there are 40 iTunes shares in that remote network, you can play tracks from every one of those remote shares.
We've basically given that to you FREE - no charge, no limitations, no app expiry after 30 days..FREE.
...and how do we survive, by people choosing to purchase a sing optionally le plugin to add additional functionality....and only if they choose. We don't flash up a prompt to buy the plugin each time the app launches, we don't even have an ad running in the app asking you to buy it.
I guess you just can't please some people even when you give your app away free.

Second of all... Did you even read what I posted? Your comments regarding what I stated are out of context. I wasn't complaining about the functionality of your software! I'm sure it's just wonderful. I'm complaining about how you market your software. I think it's often disingenuous.
I'm not expecting anything for free! I know it's free without the plugin. I never said anything that would suggest I didn't know that. Quote me if I did. You're just getting over sensitive and making stupid out of context comments in response. You don't have to write FREE FREE FREE a million times. I'm not a dumb a*s. I get that it's free. That has nothing to do with what I wrote. Respond to what I wrote or don't don't respond at all.

And please cut it with that drama queen crap. There's nothing I said in my comments that should have given you any reason to say that.

No, I changed it because I had read your previous post and then went to check the developer site and sure enough it states there that it is $20 if you want the full featured version. I do not know how it came to be listed previously as being $10.

What did I say that prompted you to give me all this info. I already know this. Nothing I said would suggest I didn't? I've been using the software. It's good. It's free. It has a optional plugin you buy. I know this. So does a lot of other software. That's cool. I wasn't saying the software isn't worth the price. In fact, I said in my comment explicitly "I'm not saying it's not worth the price," so why in your response did you make it seem like I was complaining about the price?

I do not feel that our model of offering a free application with optional paid plugins is bait and switch and I welcome others to share their opinion. We are the most honest people you are likely to meet and if it is felt that our model is deceptive in any way then we will look at our options and consider reverting to a time limited demo or crippling the app after a number of plays. We just don't want to have to do that.
I could list thousands of examples especially on the web where users can participate free with a paid option to extend functionality.
Anyway, perhaps we can move forward and leave all this behind us. I apologize for any of my comments which fueled the discussion. In fact, please drop me an email at team@dottunes.net so I can apologize directly.
BTW: We have a native iPhone app in the works and it's going to be a showstopper! We're building some incredible functionality which is not available elsewhere and is very exciting.
Cheers

I look forward to the native iPhone/iPod Touch App. Exciting! I imagine if a killer App came out that could stream an iTunes Library over local and remote networks I would spend much less time in Music App which in my case only gives me a meager 8GB of my 100 something GB Library. Simplify Media annoys me because the interface elements don't respond well to gestures and it's not the sexiest App. I look forward to your native App. Release it SOON! PLEASE! Pandora's cool but I want to listen to my tunes.

Another cool feature is the social networking side of Hookup. I have the ability to see which of my people is on my share, while they are on it and chat with them about what they're doing (what songs they're downloading, movies they're watching, etc.)
Setup is a snap, and you're up and running pretty quickly. All-in-all, its a good app.

I did reply to your emails - I just searched and found them asking for you to email me your codes so I could reset them for you. I did not receive a reply but I have since found your codes and reset them for you. Please let me know if all is well. I do apologize for taking so long to see this message on MacUpdate. I've been bunkered down in development and have not visited in a while.
Cheers
Jeff
