I ditched Apple, can I get an Android license instead?

Zabbaskeema · 03-21-2020, 01:59 AM

Hi dear CC people,

I made it and no iPhone and no iPad anymore.
I now have an Android tablet and phone.
Could I migrate my license please?

Nope, different applications, you'll have to pay again for the new app. Maybe in the future, if they consider themselves a subscription system and not an app, you'll be able to do that, but for that the new owner of the apps will have to remodel the Android app and it's going to take time, they have just began to remodel the IOS app. If you buy the paid app now in Android (that is a one payment app), you'll have to pay for the subscription (monthly/yearly payments) in the future again.
What you can do now is try the free app in Android, I think there's a limit of 50 books or so (I'm talking from memory, check the actual number), this way you'll also can check if the actual app works in your devices, I think some things might not work with the latest versions of Android.

You also might want to obscure your email address in that image (which does show if I go the url)

pretty sure its less than 50 books allowed on device, but there are no other limitations on demo version.

if you use cloud, there are some issues with dropbox authentication and dropped support from some other cloud providers
if you don't use cloud, I am not aware of any major bugs in the 2018 android version. widgets may no longer work in android 9 / 10

I presume you mean Patrick's e-addy

FWIW: On Windows both Firefox and Malwarebytes are blocking pasteboard.co
