it is a shame this sort of software is not just free to begin with... i know people making it must make a living, but ideally this sort of thing would be freely available. imo charging for this software is as ethically questionable as blocking access to it - from a certain point of view they are identical actions. its also a shame that the ios platform is the way it is but apple have the right to exercise their freed…
No, these actions have nothing in common. The application had a reasonable, one-time fee, that anyone who could afford an iPad could pay, so they were not blocking access to it at all.
Personally I feel this sort of software would be best serving the people who would benefit from it if it was free and multi-platform. Targeting iPad and having a sale price is an obvious money making strategy, and does, absolutely, limit access to it.
