OK, here it is like things happened! The App Team & Myself included realized by staying with a one time price with no yearly subscription just wasn't cutting it. We had to rectify it, period! Stuff cost money. First, Apple Store, Android Store, App Guys & my Wife & I all divvy up the sales. For those who feel we are swimming in dough with this App, think again. Sure it does a great job but more important to me is that it helps countless hunters shorten their elk learning curve. Yes sir & it works! That right there puts a smile on my face, nothing like assisting others, it has it's own separate rewards.
This New Version of the App was to Air end of July to the 1st of Aug, it didn't! With the New App we had to make a decision to try & keep both Apps, not financially sensible or possible. In hopes of an early Aug. finish to the New App that would allow us to post on Social media such as IG, Hunting Forums, F/B, etc. This would alert most App users as to the change from one time purchase to a yearly subscription, at that time hunters would have had plenty of time to decide whether they wanted to renew or not, simple as that. -- As the new version was being installed it took away the original version, I did not know it would do that? Bottom line is it did, sorry guys. If I'd had known that I would have stopped it. Biggest hurdle was App team dropped the ball & couldn't get the new version in a timely manner. (late July/early Aug)
Well, that early date did not happen! As a matter of fact the Iphone version just went live this week, FINALLY! The Android has not, it still shows the Original App Forum. It will stay this way so Android users can still use the original version until Archery season is over, then the New App will go live on Androids.
Bottom line was unhappy hunters, hell ya, I'd be pissed too & I was, just ask Tayler one of the App guys. He does a great job all around but the Timing on this Update definitely sucked.
Has this pissed you guys off, you bet & I understand. Things are now worked out & I will move forward, don't know what else to do?
I will add that I'd elk hunted for 5 days & left because of heat & smoky conditions. When I got home I saw these things with the App were happening, before that I thought all was going smooth, not the case. I've not elk hunted since as I was on the phone, emails & PM's trying to respond to guys like you on what was going on with no App on your Iphones. I love elk hunting with my Son, not this year, to me that's a bigger loss than any of you guys were experiencing with the App.
For those who do not like the change to a yearly subscription, that's OK. Is the New Version worth it, you aren't just a kidding it is, huge additions for sure. If it's not for you, no problem. You can still listen to & watch the countless Podcasts & Seminars/Webinars I've shared in for free on the Internet if you so desire.
Bottom line, I Apologize for the Timing of this to all of you, I hope you can understand. Regardless I'll still be sharing any knowledge I may have that can help out on this Forum. If any have questions fire away. If you need to contact me, please do. 208-315-0562
P.S. For those that purchased the App in the last 90 days or so let Tayler know & you will receive a free version of the new App for a year. [email protected] -- here's my email in case you'd rather cuss me out -- [email protected]
