Great interface, which isn't a surprise from MetaLab. It's great to see such top notch work coming from Canadian companies, especially out of my home town (Victoria BC).
Meh. They ripped off Things.

#72As a user of Flow for the past few weeks, I've been blown away by its UI and usefulness. Unfortunately, the pricing seems a bit steep for personal use. I'd also like to see some clarity on how pricing works with groups of people.
Producteev (http://producteev.com ) has been around for a couple of months and really solid alternative IMHO, cross platform, free for individuals, and moving fast! We are very happy with it!

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
What's the reasoning behind 'almost impossible'? A price point of $40/2-to-4-users, or even $40/year, is much more thinkable for individuals/families than $120/year/person. From the screenshots, it seems like it should be possible to have a cheaper capped-to-a-small-set-of-collaborators version that a family of 3-6 could use, but still charge business prices for more/arbitrary collaborators and other features. (I hav…
Do families pay recurring fees for web apps? Apart from some high-quality photo sharing apps, I can't think of any examples.
As a datapoint, they do for mine (budgeting software, https://www.pearbudget.com/). $4.95 / month, or $49.50 / year.

I respectfully call this a ridiculous proposition. How is $10/mo expensive for this, or for anything in life? It seems to me Flow pricing is learning a valuable lesson from MobileMe: if it's useful, people will pay.
How is $10/mo expensive for this, or for anything in life?
That's where the disconnect is. You seem to think that $10/mo is not expensive for anything in life.
I respectfully disagree. There are probably an infinite number of things for which $10/mo is too expensive, independent of how much money you actually have.
Would you pay me $10/mo to have me send you a random Mark Twain quote as a push notification to your device every day?
I'm not trying to nitpick - only pointing out that your worldview and ideas of what you would pay for don't match that of many/most people.

Not sure that MobileMe is the best example of this lesson.

#75Metalab is so sexy. http://getballpark.com is their other great app. I'm a huge fan of their MAC like design.
MAC... the makeup brand? Or the unique identifier for network interfaces? Sorry, the all-caps MAC is a pet peeve of mine. Almost as bad as iTouch.

Yes. This seems like something that would be valuable to a business (Say a catering service or a party planning service or package delivery service or whatever).
Their video (and pricing) seems to indicate this.
For running a business that requires coordination among many people, the price is utterly reasonable (if not slightly cheap).

#77Their intro video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxF7F5T-_Z8 ) is beautifully produced, but man does it make me uninterested in trying out Flow. The video presents a use case (planning a simple party) that already has multiple "free" solutions (SMS, Email, Cellphones...) which seems like a much easier approaches. Do people really want to assign todo items to their friends? I get that Flow is probably capable of muc…
Video done by this guy, in case you're interested: http://lonelysandwich.com/
He's done quite a few iOS/Mac promo videos.

Thanks for peddling your unrelated application.
Your welcome. In what way do you feel it is unrelated? I'm doing something in the group collaboration space. There were a bunch of other links posted. Some of which I hadn't ever heard of. I though it was a good contribution.
Log in. Create an item. Share the item. Let me know if you still think it is completely unrelated. Unrefined. yes. incomplete. yes. Full of bugs. Yes. But it is an mvp and I need all the feedback I can get. Even if it is a little persnickety.
