I'm a business owner and I use to put this on all our companies laptops and recommend this software to everyone I knew. This is akin to holding the software that I have paid for - and my contracts - hostage while they try to sell me.
#Busycontacts vs cardhop upgrade
However, the pop-up is persistent and wont allow you to use the software (actually locks you out of using it) until you either wait a set amount amount of time - no idea how long, but minutes! - or click on the link to see the upgrade info. I understand this - it's how hey sell the new version. But a couple months ago I started getting a pop-up that asks me to pay to upgrade to the new version. They acknowledged this and I acknowledge that I wont get any more updates - that the way software has always worked. It's mine and I can use it as long as I want because I paid for it. By allowing me to pay for upgrades that I see value in, it keeps us both honest - they need to keep working if they want me to keep paying.Ģ) I'm still on the non-subscription version that I PAID FOR IN FULL. I know this was based on a chance Apple made, but it was still a feature I paid for that no longer exists. Sure they make it look a little nicer, but the major function change was actually the lose of the ability to see all of the emails for a contact. With that said, I like the additional stuff, but they haven't made any real improvements to functionality in some time.
