Prompt 2 brought the GPS-powered hack to keep SSH sessions from timing out and that was a major upgrade worth paying for. Also, the App Store deliberately doesn’t have a good way to do upgrades because Apple would rather developers move to the exploitative but lucrative subscription pricing model.
Just to be explicit, I definitely wasn’t trying to criticize Panic. They are sort of a well-known, well-regarded group I think (I was surprised by Prompt 2, but not annoyed by it or anything). I think they make a good example of the fact that a non-exploitive company might want to do this sort of thing.
