Ugh. Another app I've come to rely on sucked into the maw.
Apples software strategy is a joke these day. What's the point of all this amazing harware when they buy, bully or just make developers live so difficult they abandon the platform.
Apple either buys and then silently kills them or just steals developers from them and then bullies them into breaking their NDAs and stealing the tech.
