Seems the skritter team is more active on reddit then their own forums or blogs as they have at least responded there. I mean there is not even a post on the blog so somehow this seems rushed at best…
I would like to know how soon I can expect to have a working semi-offline skritter experience with background audio in a study interface which actually works?
This is what I until 2 days ago payed you $15/month for.
If this is not expected in the next few days I want to know how I can get a refund of my 15$ for this month as I can no longer use the application.
The claims of side loading the the old application does not work on my phone (I tried and got an error, see my previous post).
But I need to know NOW as I use this for studying I am currently not able to learn my homework which means I will fail my test with in terms means I will fail my course.
This is rather urgent for me, even if it is not for the skritter team.
Lastly I would like to point out the reason for “hostility” is the lack of confidence I have in the skritter developer as they have repeatedly for a long time responded to most issues with “yeah we know, we will fix it, use the legacy version” but thus far no fixes have been apparent. Or as they have done here on the forums: not even bothering to reply…
All this begs the question: why?
I can think of three reasons off the top of my head:
- Security incident forcing them to close down the API quicker then expected.
In which case it might be reasonable to act with haste. - Accidental “not click the beta button”.
In which case it might be prudent to say “sorry, we messed up” - Financial/staffing/* troubles forcing them to release the new version early as the developer is rolling off.
In which case we need to start looking elsewhere…
