Worth noting that the makers of Things copped criticism from some users for that approach of a paid upgrade. And negative reviews can be very damaging in the App Store.
- jamescostian 9y agoI was not aware of this. It definitely would suck if Things 3 had a low rating, but I just looked it up on the App Store and it has a 5 star rating. Yes, negative reviews can be very damaging, but (at least on iOS 11) not only does it say "5.0", it also says "Editor's Choice" and "#38" so I would argue that Things 3 was not really damaged too much.
- prawn 9y agoThings just won an Apple Design Award in the last 1-2 weeks which gives them huge amounts of App Store support and general press. That would have put them in front of millions of new users unaware of the upgrade issue. @appstore has 4.5m followers for example. This boost is incredibly rare (10 ADAs per year).
