The Rippple II announcement thread doesn’t seem to be accepting any more replies. I just thought I’d offer my 2c on it, because a fair number of people seemed to be downvoting in that thread.

Personally, I do find it a bit annoying. My concern going forward is that in using a free app, I have obviously fewer consumer rights than using something I paid for - and ‘paid for’ rather than subscribed to, because I bought the lifetime version of Rippple I.

However, it wasn’t like I was buying a completely offline app. Rippple I needed to stay aligned with an API that was bound to change, either technically or by charging devs of clients utilising it more money. The foundations for a lifetime purchase of an app were not totally solid and I should have realised that.

Trakt is just one way of tracking what to watch. I think it’s the best method I’ve seen, but it’s a tool for a purpose for the foreseeable, not forever.

I just think it’s not the end of the world and that maybe we should appreciate that in Rippple II , if we’re not a heavy Trakt user, we get a well-coded app to browse a very useful free service.
