Skitch 1.0.6 is Out – On the Mac App Store
This morning I saw that Skitch 1.0.6 was out, so I went to my Skitch app and hit "Check for Updates...". I was then told "You're on the latest version - 1.0.4". OK, something's not right. So I went and did a little digging. It seems that the free version is crippled now, and the good version I had was no longer available in that format, so I had to purchase it again for a "mere" $25. Even though, it said on the web site it'd be $10. Hmmm...
OK, I like Skitch, and I'd probably have bought it without a grumble if I'd read about it in some email from the Skitch crew, but that's not how it happened, and I can't help but feel a little miffed at the way it was done. No warning, I'm stuck on an old version and not getting updates. No upgrade path, no continued support. Kinda bites.
I'm sure I'll get over it. I'm still a huge fan, but this is liable to prompt me to send them a letter and say "Hey guys... not nice. Try harder next time."
