I initially thought that current customers now needed to pay annual fee for app but that is only for plus features. The plus features are cool but not for that cost. AppShopper used to do that for free but not compatible with iOS 11 anymore but still can use website on phone and get email notifications. Your application does provide a nice local service on phone but maybe a one time fee for plus.

This is a decent wishlist app it does the basic functions of a wishlist. It needs more options especially sorting options the only option to sort is by date added to the wishlist. It would be nice to have a sort by name, category, price low high, oldest and newest. What brings it down to two stars is the price. $14 a year is high, at most this is a one time purchase maybe $10 at the most or a few dollars a year. I'm not exactly sure what the subscription is needed? Weather apps need to pay dark sky, weather underground, etc every time someone uses this app. Video apps it cost them alot of money to maintain servers and content. This app as far as I can tell doesn't have any of these issues or servers to maintain or API cost to access the app store hence no monthly or yearly cost to the developer so this should be a one time purchase or one time IAP to unlock all features. I hope you reconsider your payment options here because I would really like to pay you for your effort and use this app at it's full potential however the subscription model is the wrong choice for Lookmark I hope you reconsider so you can make some more money. Myself and others based on the reviews would pay a one time purchase. Best of luck keep up the good work.

This is the first negative review I’ve ever written for an app. Do not download at any cost. I was an early adopter and long-time user. Recently they switched to a subscription payment model, which is bad enough and indicative of the culture of greed that has ruined this app—this app performs one function with very few updates, no call whatsoever for a recurring subscription fee. And if that weren’t bad enough when they switched over to the subscription model they also deleted all of my bookmarks, dozens of them, and wiped the slate clean. Lost everything. All so they could try to charge me in subscription what I had already been using for a long time. It’s a disgusting way to treat your users and there are plenty of other bookmarking apps out there I encourage you to download. For my part I will keep this app for the sole purpose of reposting this negative review for every single release from now through perpetuity, as they will undoubtedly bury the many negative reviews and ratings as often as possible.

I love this app - please ignore the negative reviews. Indie app developers need to make money and this subscription is well worth it. I’ve saved enough money on apps after being notified by Lookmark of a price drop to pay for several years worth of subscriptions. I also use it to notify me of apps that I’ve uninstalled that have updates - I can read the update notes to see if it’s worth reinstalling said apps.

*Written 1/8/18* Was good until they decided to switch to a subscription service. This app is not worth a yearly fee for me. I have uninstalled the app. *1/8/18* Edit to respond to developer: Of course it would be nice if it were free. But I'd be willing to pay a one time fee if the price were right. I am not a fan of subscription services; most apps aren't worth a monthly fee, and more apps seem to be going this route. For what the app does, it's worth at most a couple of bucks for me. I'd be willing to pay more for apps worth more to me. But that's just it. I guess it's not an essential tool for me.
