Rip off change to subscription pricing

By RobertYJ (Pcmac user)

As a long time user of iSailor, I am extremely disappointed by the move to subscription. Hiding behind the fact that deep in the terms and conditions it says you have the right to change is pathetic when the change is of this magnitude. It is also short sighted - with the previous model I would buy charts that were of transient interest rather than necessary for everyday use. If I continue to use the product at all, I will now stick to the charts I actually need - a small subset of those that I have purchased over the years. I certainly won’t be buying additional portfolios. If you have to move to subscription, it would have been better to have a single charge for all updates. I’m sure your spreadsheet experts will ‘prove’ that this won’t generate as much money as doing this by chart portfolio but I think they underestimate the extent to which people will simply go elsewhere with the current model. My assumption is that the target market for this product is no longer the recreational sailor. The good news is that there are plenty of alternatives.
Very disappointing change to annual subscription

By Alfiebelly (Pcmac user)

I’m giving this app a 1 star rating due to the forced change from outright purchase-type to a subscription-type service. I initially paid what I thought was s premium price for a product on the justification that this was a one time payment for charts with an un-expiring update service. Now suddenly, I am required to pay annually for the same service that was already included in my initial purchase price! I can understand if they wish to do this for new customers, but to do this to the very customer base that probably contributed to the success of their business, is a very poor business decision indeed. They could have considered “grand fathering” in the existing customers. I have had no response to any of my service requests which is also suspect. There was never any difficulty in getting a response before. It’s almost as if they’re embarrassed and don’t know how to respond. Very disappointing. I’m sure most of their old customers will now be doing a fresh look at the competition.
Very bad business decision!

By A r k i e 1 (Pcmac user)

I have enjoyed your software for the last three years, and have found it to be very reliable and easy to use. I have used your charts to voyage up and down the east coast of the U.S. and also trips to Bermuda. The charts have proven very accurate and affordable - - up until now. The decision to go “subscription based” has caught many of us by surprise. The concept of buying a chart, and then having periodic updates was very appealing, and was a major factor in my decision to use your software. To change this support policy retroactively has made for many unhappy and disappointed customers whose ranks I have now joined. I would urge you to reconsider your business decision, and come up with a plan to rectify this current situation. If nothing is done in future revisions, I will be compelled to look for alternative navigation solutions, as I am sure many other loyal customers will also.
Horribly Disappointed

By Nor'easter (Pcmac user)

I have been using this app for years. I have spent a fair amount of money on different chart regions over the years as I felt it was a decent value and it offered updates for free. Remember that US charts (ENC) are free to the public. I felt that paying for them through isailor was worth it as the app provided value. To now change the rules to long time app owners and say that if I want to update my charts I have to re-purchase my charts all over again every year would mean an annual cost of nearly $120 every year. There are just better options out there in this market. This company may want to seriously consider grandfathering prior isailor owners or it is likely that this nose dive towards a 1 star rating will continue. If you just sail in one region, it might be worth it. But if you sail in multiple regions, the cost is prohibitive. Disappointed.
