The fact that you haven’t done it for iTunes over all these years, but are now complaining about paprika tells me that you are fine with supporting Apple but hate it when it goes to support small independent devs.

Oh man, what a take. Go be angry at someone else please.

That's quite a list of import options. I'll check it out.

Mealie does look appealing.

My self hosting list keeps getting bigger.

Mealie is interesting. Self hosted is probably the way to go long term if I want to avoid situations like this in the future. I’m checking it out now. Thanks!

It’s not about the money. I WANT to pay for what I use. I have several subscriptions to software.

It’s the change to the software that opens the door to ads and manipulation without any recourse. It’s changing the terms. I no longer trust the developer. Also, the realization that Paprika’s export options are kind of a joke is something I should have noticed sooner.

Any app that contains data that could be held hostage is a potential problem. That this kind of thing has become normalized is depressing.

The conversation about what data needs to be hosted where is interesting. So much of that data probably doesn’t need to be anywhere but local. iTunes used to sync locally. Now I pay Apple $25 a year just so I can access music I’ve already paid for. I should do something about that.

Thanks all.

Thanks nick. Umami looks interesting. It is another App Store distributed app, which is not great, but it does have proper exporting tools which is a plus.

Thanks! I’ll check out Mela, although I’m leaning towards not depending on the App Store after this experience. I do appreciate the suggestion.

You sound like an ad. That's eerily similar to the response I got from the developer. It does not address my question. But good for you, I guess. You appear to get something for free. What could possibly go wrong.

I'd prefer my software not change willie nillie without warning. At a bare minnimum I would expect a warning that things are going to change when updating. I should of had the option to decide what gets installed and what the trade offs are.

This is no different than Hue changing their terms of service on everyone without notice. It fundamentally changes the relationship with the developer, and not for the better.

"The information is very clear on their Support page" Yes, It NOW has information that could of been helpful to know before it updated. Your point?

Thanks!
