Pay for beta?

[Arjan de Vries]

Hi,

Can somebody explain to mae why we have to pay for the beta myroute app planner coming november 2nd? I am a gold member and I understand I have to pay 49 Euros to get access.
Is the big public update free of charge for goldmembers?
So why should we pay 49 euros now? (just an open question, no critisism)

Let me know your thoughts (or the answer)

Arjan

@Arjan-de-Vries the €49 is for early access, a badge on your profile, but to me most important, Lifetime group rides and working with others on the same route

@Arjan-de-Vries, you get access free of charge from 15th of februari. Just not for the extra new features like Marinus said. So, the 49 euro are mainly for lifetime access to those specific new features, and for early beta access, which no one forces on you

So as MRA Routeplanner Gold Lifetime member and Navigation Next Lifetime we are expexted to keep paying for new "Lietime" features? I am the only one in my group that uses MRA, so I don't need the Lifetime group rides, but it worries me for how long the Lifetime MRA and Navigation Next will have value

@Bjorn-Bjornstad, It will have all the value you have been experiencing up till now AND much more, even without the lifetime on the new features. We are talking about Group Rides (seeing each other on the navigation map) and Route planning collaborations (working on routes with multiple people at once). Those features are more than specific enough to have them on a separate subscription, and most "ordinary" users will probably show little interest in them. Besides these specific features there are MANY new features that will enrich your Gold subscription without paying anything.

I read that you get all functies what you have in current subscriptions, simple what you in your current subscription you keep.
If you like to support MRA, like me, you pay 49 euro and then you get a view extra functies as lifetime to.

I understand and agree with the poster. I bought "lifetime" for the planner and the app....now I find that they're on the way out for a new set that I need to pay for again. I truly like myroute app, and the planner, and I appreciate the developers efforts...as far as "supporting them", I did... I bought a lifetime subscription, AND I have encouraged others to do the same. I find this whole thing troubling...and before someone points out that I can still use the original... They already stated that it will be phased out down the road...We users of myroute app and planner have been the beta testers for this future product...have stood by through the bugs... and now that the product pretty much works good (it still has issues now and then)... they rebadge it and want users to pay again....again... I supported them by buying a lifetime... and I supported them by showing others the app and encouraging them to buy it....whom by the way are not going to complain to the developers about this turn of events... they're going to complain to ME, the guy who talked them into buying it....one as recent as a few weeks ago.

This whole thing is WRONG... I understand that fresh ideas require fresh income, and a lifetime subscription offering does not bring in fresh income...you should have never offered it to begin with if you want rolling income, however, you DID...and those who put their faith in you and paid for a lifetime instead of paying monthly should be grandfathered in and in they should ELIMINATE the lifetime subscription for future subscribers to keep a rolling income. The new app and planner should be given to the current lifetime, I can understand paying extra for AI or group stuff.
