    Some of y'all have no appreciation for independent app developers

    I'll take my downvote now

      Really, it's cool that some want to make their apps for free with no ads, but I'll support devs who put in hard work to make a good app, it's ridiculous to think that they don't deserve some sort of compensation.

      The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

      Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.

        I don’t really complain about seeing ads in apps i didn’t pay for, but I do complain about seeing ads on public transit and in the world in general. I don’t want the world plastered with ads.

        Hell they’re on the motorways here which seems ludicrous.

      I think you're confusing "independent" with "works for free."

      I haven't switched at this point because Connect works well for me, but people's work has value.
