Version: 4.1
I would not buy an upgrade for this app annually for $96, so why would I use their ridiculous subscription model? $96/year??? Absolutely insane.

Version: 2.3
such a shame what happened to this once great app. Ever since Black Pixel acquired the app, development was minimal. Now Black Pixel got acquired from another company, so I don't have much hope that things will improve.
