We're nervous too. This is 2 apps we're dependent on getting acquired and potentially completely mangled. The first amazingly shut off all support for the UK (We're UK-based) immediately. Better for customers? Ha!
Boris from Meldium here. While I can't make promises, we intend to invest and improve our service for years to come!
Why can't you make promises?

Same. That was a very attention-grabbing title until I saw the reality of it...:)

#34Watch out, Meldium, LogMeIn likes to completely change it's game plan on its customers (LogMeIn mobile App drama) with zero sympathy. I wonder how they'll treat an acquisition.
Are you referring to the retirement of LogMeIn Free and the "I've been using it for years with 100s of customers (in violation of half of your EULA), how could you do this to me??!" wailing and theatrics that followed?
That was an absolutely brilliant move on their part. They basically gifted all their over-entitled and obnoxious freeloaders to TeamViewer :) If anything, I'd be happy to get acquired by a company that got their shit together.

Because they sold the company. The decisions aren't theirs to make. Tis the nature of acquisitions.
Nonetheless, congrats to their team.

I'm referring to the LogMeIn Ignition drama, the mobile app, not their free subscription.
LogMeIn had a $29 or $39 (I forget) application called LogMeIn Ignition that was sold as a method to connect to your computers. The expectation, rightfully so, was that this extremely expensive (for a mobile app) app was all the user needed to access X amount of computers using LogMeIn Free. There was never, back then, any mention that you needed to ALSO pay a subscription fee to access devices.
Then out of the blue the users were told that they had to pay for a LogMeIn subscription to access their computers.
That is scummy as hell and plenty of corporate customers (myself included) have migrated away from them and now use paid services at TeamViewer, etc.
Some users, like myself, bought LogMeIn Ignition for emergencies. I don't think I ever even used it. I bought it specifically to remote in to my mediaPC and my desktop at home in the event I needed to retrieve a file or fix my Plex server.
I'm totally on their side about making MSPs and IT consultants who used it as a jumping point to their clients computers pay. They should have done that a long time ago - the difference is they didn't pay for an app at all. I paid more than I've paid for any mobile app for Ignition.

#37Bit of confusion regarding active vs passive voice in the title.
I am curious, however, how audit trails are followed by both services.

#38I'm a little curious about Meldium now, but I can't find any explanation as to how it works. Just a short text, flowchart or a video would have been useful.

I am an Ignition user and at first I got 6 months free Pro license and then they sent a "clarification" saying that Pro wasn't required to continue using Ignition after these 6 months. Ignition basically remained as it was - free (though they did butcher the communication about that).
