As for the crazy difference in prices. We were just running different pricing models to check out the differences in conversion rates.
The subscription model is best for the business as a whole and will incentivize the team to work on a lot of updates. Unfortunately, our first update was crap so I'm sure that left a bad taste in your mouth. If you do not wish to continue with the updates I completely understand. The change is going to be to $.99 per month. We have had a lot of community members add lots of great suggestions to the trello board which we plan to immplement. Hope you all stick around to see all the new (much better) updates.

This is an intermediate tool for a FREE open source server. You still have to have a reader which may or may not cost. A subscription is ABSURD! How much are you giving to Kovid Goyal and the other contributors of the server that you require to function? Do they know how much you are trying to profit off their work?
This release is flat out broken and unusable for OPDS users. Did you seriously just threaten us that we don't pay for sub, you won't fix?
I'm guessing I got stung by your variable pricing since I remember $5 before, but when I was finished with the port to the new server it was $10. As for me I've already written off the $10 I paid for 4 days worth of CC. I will never use it again because I feel slimy by exposure to an app written by people exploiting open source servers for money.
Marvin is a beautiful reader that supports OPDS (albeit slow to update - which isn't really that bad - kindles don't update daily either)
Let's do the math.
Marvin
$4.99 - EVER
CC
$9.99 + $0.99/month and also $x for reader of choice
I just still can't wrap my mind around someone with the guts to charge so much for an adapter to an open source server.
