Alarm Clock Pro ReviewI own the previous version. Not paying for a bug fix! - Version: 9.0, 6/28/2009 03:11PM PST

Pretty incredible really... They call this a paid upgrade when all they have done is fix 10 bugs and made a modification to the power manager "...as it should have been before." For that, you want $10? That just doesn't seem right.

Alarm Clock Pro CommentaryWhy Pay for A Bug Fix? - Version: 8.6.1, 6/23/2009 04:29AM PST

Timothy Maxwell
I was about to upgrade to version 9.0. However, I read the developer's note regarding the changes made to the program and it appears that the upgrade is primarily a bug fix! Why should a developer ask the consumer to pay for something that should have worked right in the first place? What seem to be even more ridiculous is this. Look at the developers explanation for why they are charging for this upgrade. Their only justification for charging us is that they have not charged us in the last 10 years. Their comment was as follows: "Version 9.0 from the last 8.x release is primarily a bug fix release; however, we have big plans for it in the coming months, so please stay tuned."

So again, it appears that they are charging us for fixing a broken program and want to be paid for the promise of something better. Wow! What a great business they're in! Frankly, I have never seen a developer ask for money on the basis of the promise to make an improved product. Really, they should put out an upgrade that really enhances the usefulness of their program. That is the normal way of getting paid in this business.

I purchased this product on January 25, 2008 and made the mistake of upgrading to version 9.0. Now, I only have a 15 day trial and have lost the program that I once used. Yes, they are offering a download link to the old product if we contact them, but, why should we have to go through such efforts?
