In the past, we had to hold back completed new features for over a year until we had finished all other features that made up a major update. With subscriptions, we can deliver updates to our users much more frequently. There are several reasons why we believe subscriptions are the right choice for the future of MindNode. A subscription-based model showed the most promise to meet our customers’ needs as well as our own when we mind mapped our options. With this in mind, we knew that we didn’t want to go down the same path again. This did not always work as we had imagined it and resulted in a bumpy experience for some customers. Our discount mechanism had to launch a previous version of MindNode to check for eligibility. This sounded like a great solution on paper and worked great in our tests, but we ran into many issues in real-life situations. As the App Store has no native support for paid upgrades, we tried to work around this limitation, by using differently priced In-App Purchases. While MindNode 5 was a very popular release with our customers, we weren’t happy with how our new upgrade mechanism worked. When we started working on MindNode 7 we knew that our next release would be a paid upgrade and we closely looked at our experience with the recent updates. Over the last two years, we released two major updates: MindNode 5 was a paid upgrade and MindNode 6 was a free upgrade. What we learned from MindNode 5 and MindNode 6 Today I’d like to focus on our motivation behind changing our business model and what it means for the future of MindNode. We will share more information about our new tagging feature in the coming weeks. For all existing MindNode 5 and MindNode 6 customers, MindNode 7 will be a free upgrade. With this release, we are also introducing a new Free Editor and customers can unlock our full feature set with our new MindNode Plus subscription. MindNode 7 will add Visual Tags - a brand new feature to bring more context to your ideas. We are excited to announce that we are going to ship MindNode 7, our next major update, early next year.
