Totally agree.
There is an app I stooped using because of that. It insisted on calling home every now and then for licence check. Annoying when you have a network at hand, big problem when in the metro without data.
One thing you might want to do is a free demo / ad supported version.
Some people not wanting to pay might be ok with ads, and personally, i like being able to test out a bit before buying. |
Along these lines,
chaley, how amenable would you be to removing the license check? The Amazon App Store requires me to allow the Amazon Store app to reconnect to Amazon's server every few weeks or CC quits working and I'd prefer to not do this (and really prefer to remove the Amazon Store and Google Play apps altogether).
I'm curious if you have a feel for how much the rate of piracy might change if the license check were removed.
