I have paid for both the app and the web client. There is a lot of hate going on in /r/Android about the changes. In my experience they've delivered an app which doesn't crash and has all the features I'd expect. They also don't sell all the data they possibly could (like others do), which is definitely worth a non-zero amount. One time payment means once an app isn't actively acquiring new users, the dev will need to be finding other sources of income. The predictability of income can certainly lead to better quality apps. I have no problem with the changes they're implementing. Servers aren't free, so an ongoing income stream versus potentially shutting down because of a lack of new users makes sense.
