Linkinus ReviewDon't buy. It was promising but turned greedy. Bad customer support. - Version: 2.0.1, 7/10/2009 06:26AM PST

I was one of the first to try this application when it was in beta. then supported it when it came out. it showed a lot of promise. I decided to buy it hoping that there will be a fix for the flaws. instead, the linkinus team released the newer 2.0 and asked for an upgrade fee. that's less than a year from the purchase. an email to them shows that they don't care about their customers and will just want to make money. if you're going to buy this version, expect to pay more for future bug fixes and features. i'm switching to another irc application. one less customer that they have to care about.

I bought a license 2 month ago and now I'm forced tuo buy an upgrade license for version 2.x?

I got this as an answer from the developer: "You are not required to upgrade to 2.x at all."

I won't spend any money again on his app!

sorry, but this is not the way you treat clients after not updating your app for 1 year!

At least the developer could have mentioned that a new version ist coming out and that an update will be charged.

I purchased Linkinus because I liked the fact that it has a nice GUI and seemed like it had a lot of support.

Updates have stopped coming through and the latest version won't even register properly with the codes they sent me.

I emailed support and they re-sent my code and it still won't unlock the application. I emailed them again to point this out and they stopped responding to my emails. So even though I am a paying customer I cannot use their application.
