Great Improvements to the Program, but...

I had previously bought Gif Brewery 2 on the App Store, and then I find out that this update was only available at a lower price to previous customers for a certain period of time, which I had just missed out on. What was that about? This has happened to me before (*cough*Mindnode*cough*), with developers abandoing earlier versions of their programs and forcing loyal customers to purchase the sparkly, NEW upgraded program, often with better features. Omnifocus 2 handled this situation the right way: having previously purchased Omnifocus 1, I received the updated Omnifocus 2 at a smaller cost… it’s only fair, right? I guess it’s hard to compare the two iwhen you look at price ($4.99 vs $39.99), but still, there are better ways to go about this and having to pay (again) for a better version of the same app made me a little bit angry. This isn’t a major OS upgrade or anything, just an app. Please, handle things better the next time you decide to upgrade your software.

Thankfully, the program has at least improved. In fact, it has improved a great deal. I remember experiencing a lot of frustration using GB 2 with the constant freezing, ridiculous usage of the CPU, etc. None of that is to be found in GB 3. Gone are the seperate (and occasionally disappearing) tool windows and high background usage. The interface is a lot cleaner and everything is easy to find. It is a welcome update to be sure, and I’m happy that all of my previous problems with the program have been addressed.
