  2. While I’m happy to see that you’ve added a lifetime membership option, I hope you reconsider your price point. That’s equivalent to ten years if you’re paying on a yearly basis for a Premium Membership. Committing 10+ years to any software, no matter how good and well-supported it is in its current state, is asking an awful lot.

  3. In terms of the price point, we are well in line with other online brewing sites that offer memberships, like Home Brew Talk, The Electric Brewery, etc. Keep in mind, if you buy a lifetime membership, you are getting the exclusive member badge, priority support, and you are insulated from future price increases (inflation).

  4. Any plans to develop a similar Android app?

  5. Never mind! I see it in the market now!

  6. Iphone App?

    Why should I have to pay for the App if Im already a paid up Premium member?

  7. You can still use the website itself through mobile Safari on the phone, but an internet connection is required for that to work.

    The iPhone app lets you work offline. The iPhone app is also a tailored iPhone ‘user experience’. Because of the way the app store works, there is no way to discount the app for premium members and still sell it to those who want the app but not the premium subscription.
