Bad update??

I updated this app on my iphone 4 (version 7.1.2) It opens on the screen then it bounces to my home page. Double click the home button and the app is still there but it is frozen (can't play, can't adjust volume). It saddens me very much because I really like this app for Bible reading and making playlists. Send another update?? (Happened with my whatsapp and they sent another update -- works great ever since!)

Navigating Ethical Concerns: A Reflection on Promises and Trust in Digital Engagements

As a devoted user and a person guided by Christian principles, it is with a heavy heart that I find myself in a position to share my concerns about this application. When I initially invested in this application, it was with the understanding that a one-time purchase would grant me access to a comprehensive suite of features. This promise was not only clear but deeply resonated with the values of honesty and integrity. However, recent changes have introduced a subscription model for features previously available, fundamentally altering our agreement. This unexpected shift raises significant ethical concerns and deviates from the principles of fairness and transparency that foster trust and respect in any relationship.

Upon discovering the removal of several pivotal features, I reached out to the developers, seeking understanding and dialogue. The explanation provided—a dire financial situation necessitating a move to a subscription model to avoid bankruptcy—was disheartening. While empathy is a cornerstone of Christian ethics, and understanding the plight of others is essential, it is equally important that solutions do not unfairly burden those who have placed their trust in us. True stewardship involves finding solutions that honor our commitments and treat all parties with respect and dignity.

Efforts to find resolution through Apple were unfruitful, as they expressed their inability to intervene with third-party applications. This leaves users, who have made investments based on trust and goodwill, in a challenging position, deprived of the value they were promised and without a clear path to seek fairness.

The crux of my concern is not the subscription model itself but the manner of its implementation. A transition that affects existing users so fundamentally should be approached with the utmost care, transparency, and, ideally, consent. These are not just business best practices; they are imperatives rooted in a commitment to treating others as we would wish to be treated, a principle that lies at the heart of Christian ethics.

In a spirit of reconciliation and hope for a resolution that reflects our shared values of honesty, respect, and mutual support, I reached out to the developers with a suggestion. I proposed the introduction of a new version of the application, allowing current users to retain the features they were promised and offering the option of a subscription model for those who wish to support the company further. Unfortunately, this proposal was not accepted.

In closing, my initial endorsement of this application was based not just on its utility, but on the trust I placed in the developers to uphold their promises. The recent changes, and the manner in which they were implemented, have compelled me to reconsider my recommendation. This situation serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of maintaining ethical standards and treating one another with kindness and respect, principles that are vital not only in personal relationships but in business dealings as well. I urge potential users to approach with caution, fully aware that the values we hold dear may be tested in unexpected ways.

REPENT.
