Hi!

I know that I use iphone 2g which means I probably won't get stock mms in fw 3.0. It's about a couple of month before fw 3.0 is released and you guys already imposed extra fee to upgrade to v2.0.

Do you guys going to impose fee for upgrading swirlymms in fw 3.0 if I upgrade my swirlymms now to v2.0?

p/s: sorry, I don't know if I have post on the right thread

We will do everything we can to get SwirlyMMSv2 to work on iPhone OS3.0 and we wont charge anything for that. This release is packed with new features and we have put a lot of work into it so we really think it is well worth the upgrade fee.

Hi Swirly team'

Just one suggestion'
is there anyway that u guys can make this useful app with password protection. i know we have so many apps which we can do the locking stuff. but it is always nice and neat to have the app with PP. please reply.

Thank you for the hard work to make our life easier. and it's worth to pay $6 for an upgrade.

cheers
Naadhu

landscape mode would be nice

I like that you have made some needed upgrades, and i don't mind paying a little for a nice sized boost in features, but...Why in the hell do I end up paying MORE, for being a customer earlier, than those who are buying it for the first time? I would think you would want to reward your long time customers who have been with you for some time, rather than tell them to pay more than the guy who is looking at your app for the first time. I have already paid $8 for 1.0, and now you want another $6 to upgrade to 2.0. That is $14,meanwhile, if I had passed on your hard work earlier, then I could have paid $12. I don't see that as a good business move, and I am here to tell you that you will lose at least one customer from here on out, as long as this is the case. And that is too bad, because I was certainly ready to make the upgrade, but I won't pay extra for already being your customer.

Paying $6 isn't the point. The point is that the current price setup is costing loyal customers more than brand new customers. I personally think it's ridiculous. You're right, $6 is next to nothing. But I've bought the app twice right now, and have stayed very loyal to Swirly. I've defended the developers several times when arguments about why SwirlyMMS doesn't work on ATT came about. But I feel offended and cheated that overall, I have to pay more than brand new customers, to be on 2.0. It's not about money, it's about the principal.

You are right...it is only $6, and just as I stated in the post that you quoted, I don't have a problem paying the six dollars for "their hard work" as I stated already. Where I have a problem, is when I am a loyal customer, who has been with the company, and bought their product, and then am asked to pay a 16% premium for doing so! It has nothing to do with being $6.

Let's put it in a larger context. I am assuming that you are an iphone owner, but if not, just substitute the iphone for whatever phone you do own. If you go out and buy the iphone 3G, and you pay $300 for it, and then the new iphone comes out, and you are told that you can buy the new iphone, but you are going to have to pay 16% ($48) more than someone buying their first iphone, what would your reaction be? And How about if you have moved up from the 2G, then the 3G...you get the point.

So to be very clear, it is all about the principal

That's a very good point, but why can't I see swirlymates provide a reasonable response? So disappointed with their attitude.
