One of the places I looked and expected to find them was the VideoPad page on your website. I searched for them myself, but couldn't find them. I have been recommending VideoPad to my friends, but I might not anymore.Ĭ_major, thank you for showing me the release notes. Why should I upgrade when it costs an arm and a leg and I don't even know what's changed? I could be paying for a minor update for all I know. Sorry for the rant, but this 'upgrade price' will cause me to not upgrade for a very, very, very long time. What's new? Which bugs have been fixed? Has the bug I wanted to report been fixed? Who knows. There appears to be no official changelog anywhere. I might be okay with dropping $50 on an upgrade if I knew what was new or fixed. I think the average user (myself included) would be willing to pay anywhere from $0 to $20 for an upgrade, if the original software cost $70. It makes it sound like there is no charge for upgrading, and users could accidentally upgrade without making a backup only to find that their license key is incompatible.Ģ. The message after you submit a bug report prompting you to upgrade is incredibly misleading.

I'm pretty understanding, but this is almost as much as I originally paid for the software. I'm a programmer and software developer myself, and I know it takes money to make programs like this, but it's 2015, and we live in the age of free updates. Great! There's a new version! So I (thankfully) backed up my old installation as the installer told me to, and installed the new version only to find that my license key is not compatible. I tried submitting a bug report today, and I got this message: I really like the program, and I'm glad there's a relatively cheap, powerful alternative to the big-name programs out there.Īs I've used it, naturally I've found a few bugs. First off let me just say: I purchased and have been happily using VideoPad 3.79.
