[QUOTE="ElSanto84, post: 1025308, member: 137341"] Hey ho, Lyfesaver, if everybody would so generous like you are, making free software with donation option would be an awesome way. But it isn't that way. People want everything for free and even if they get it for free they complain about missing features and want more and more. That behind that are people that spend hundreds of hours of their sparetime into the projects, they don't care. Doesn't matter, the point is. We have made an remote app that looks good and works like a charm. We don't want to offer it for free cause we had costs for the software, the developer licenses and the biggest amount was our spare time. We don't force anybody to buy the software. BUT MediaPortal is missing third party support for iOS devices and as user - I would be happy to get a working remote for my 800€ mobile phone for the price of a cheeseburger (ok some Cents more). A free version would be hard to do for a software like this. Only possible thing is make a FREE version with a limited time of usage and after that you would have to buy per in-app buy a full license. We can think about several models - but we dont force anyone to buy it and if after your bought you think this is a bad app - you can still write Apple and get your money back (in most cases). Long text - but again - we don't want to force anyone to buy the remote. But I - as user - would be happy to not only have ONE remote in the AppStore. [/QUOTE]
