Well, in some European countries you could load your car while at work or grocery shopping.
Depending in your commute this could just be enough.
Anyhow: the prices and (country-specific) loading network might be show stopper. Many other things are just habit and/or subjective convenience.
I would chill and not call it a scam per se. I believe the two devs tried to built a honest business and something went sideways.
It is not as if about 1500 subscriptions buy you a yacht and a sunset in a southern country.
I would not call them scammers… heck, their whole business went down the drain.
Thunder is made with flutter. When I realized it, it went straight to the bin.
I prefer native over react native over flutter. But to be honest: they all do look alike in many cases. Not much setting them apart (design-wise) 😅.
Took a look at Avelon, and even bought lifetime. Had to refund it, because dev isn’t reacting since 4 month 😂
Currently I am using voyager, which is okay-ish. There is also arctic which is a native App for a change.
I am quite relaxed: 35 bucks for a lifetime update of an App is still quite cheap and I spent more for worse 😅
That they allegedly sold 1.000+ licenses without communicating their downfall is what lead me to involve Apple Support for a complaint.
Funny how wearecocoon phrases this 😂

As star gate fan, I am sure it is a alien time loop thingy . Thanks for bringing this up!
It is a little bit laggy, but also my second choice
Idk. The devs run a business and still advertise with bean. If it is really abandoned instead of just low prioritized or idling they would start a coverup…in the end reputation sells.
The “likely” in the heading needs to be emphasized as we cannot say with certainty what will happen…
I would also not recommend anybody to subscribe or renew until there was a sign of life.
Well, the App basically works and there have been updates. Also — come time — there will be further updates in the future.
What would be the basis for apple to grant a refund?
I’m 100 % with you on that. Health comes above all else.
But his mate, who is also running the business, could just leave a message of absence or so. With the pre-course this would honestly be enough - at least for me.
Lets keep it short and relatable: welcome back.
Yea, you are describing leasing, which is a totally different thing.
If you would try these shenanigans in a regular contract, your company would be a) sued to the ground b) don’t sell one car…
I suppose only US buyers can be gutted that way
Makers went out of business.
