Recently I was looking for a note taking application to help me journal while on the go. I have a fantastic journal application on my desktop so I was most interested in a program that would let me write and then transfer the information in a convenient way. Some apps were too complicated, some didn’t offer a handy way to transfer the data, some just didn’t have an appealing interface. Then I received a PIN about DulyNoted Pro by Screamingtoaster. It was just what I needed!
Having DulyNoted Pro on my mind, I noticed Crackberry just posted a review and went to read it. The review was thorough and fair. The initial comments about the review were anything but thorough or fair.
Folks lambasted Screamingtoaster for their $10 annual fee for the software. For the most part, I didn’t see any rational discussion comparing this program to other paid software in the genre. Instead folks complained that it was not free, that the developers wanted an annual fee instead of a one-time purchase and that the price was unreasonable.
Yes, I’m a very satisfied customer of Screamingtoaster’s products. I use both the Wicked Blogging app and now DulyNoted Pro. That is irrelevant.
Even if I agreed with the opinions of those that posted, I find the manner in which their views were expressed in very poor taste. Present details, comparisons and your own experience with other products. Compare the product to similar ones. Offer well thought out reasons for finding the price objectionable. This would lend some value to your statements.
Being mean or making statements without substantiation only makes the person who left those comments look bad and it certainly has no affect on my view of the product.
So after reading those comments, I am left with one question – Why be mean?
