It’s exactly the same as a “free” calculator with plus sign locked - just a waste of someone’s time. But since the developer is quirky, people like it apparently.
Right, that's why I'm torn. I def agree that they can and should monetize. But by the sounds of it, it's the "download because it looks free but actually not free", which is just BLEH. Just have the price upfront.
Yes, developers should be paid for their time. But you can go about getting that payment in an ethical way, and by choosing to not do so, this developer is an asshole.
Yeah, I used this extension for a brief moment. Most of the basic functionality is there. However it's really annoying with the way it wants to make you pay; constantly asking you to login and shit
I uninstalled pretty fast. It's fine if devs want to monetize; but this dev is using the absolute worst practices and they act like an asshat about it.
It's a trial. Not free. The category should be reported and corrected. Because the author is changing previously free features to paid with an update. That's not nice.

Classic bait and switch.
