Well, in some European countries you could load your car while at work or grocery shopping.

Depending in your commute this could just be enough.

Anyhow: the prices and (country-specific) loading network might be show stopper. Many other things are just habit and/or subjective convenience.

Sorry for the late reply.

I feel your question is a quiet country and living situation specific.

Here in Germany the guideline says to store 2 Liters (0,53 Gallons) per person per day and to have a stock of 10 days.

Having this said, our country is smaller, ways are shorter… supply chains easier to establish.

You could talke your problem by a ) have some canned water stored as the guidelines say, b ) get informed about water sanitation with filters and chemicals and prep these items.

Without owning some property, having enough storing room and for example a well, you won’t be able to be really independent.

So my best advice is you prepare to bridge the time until supply is up again (may it be logistics or pipe), or until you can move to a different unaffected location.

I would chill and not call it a scam per se. I believe the two devs tried to built a honest business and something went sideways.

It is not as if about 1500 subscriptions buy you a yacht and a sunset in a southern country.

I would not call them scammers… heck, their whole business went down the drain.

Thunder is made with flutter. When I realized it, it went straight to the bin.

I prefer native over react native over flutter. But to be honest: they all do look alike in many cases. Not much setting them apart (design-wise) 😅.

Took a look at Avelon, and even bought lifetime. Had to refund it, because dev isn’t reacting since 4 month 😂

Currently I am using voyager, which is okay-ish. There is also arctic which is a native App for a change.

I suppose such complaints are more hefty If more people raise them: http://reportaproblem.apple.com/

I am quite relaxed: 35 bucks for a lifetime update of an App is still quite cheap and I spent more for worse 😅

That they allegedly sold 1.000+ licenses without communicating their downfall is what lead me to involve Apple Support for a complaint.

Funny how wearecocoon phrases this 😂

As star gate fan, I am sure it is a alien time loop thingy . Thanks for bringing this up!

It is a little bit laggy, but also my second choice

😅 Cheers!

Idk. The devs run a business and still advertise with bean. If it is really abandoned instead of just low prioritized or idling they would start a coverup…in the end reputation sells.

The “likely” in the heading needs to be emphasized as we cannot say with certainty what will happen…

I would also not recommend anybody to subscribe or renew until there was a sign of life.

Well, the App basically works and there have been updates. Also — come time — there will be further updates in the future.

What would be the basis for apple to grant a refund?

Maybe an opening. You look like a nice fella. Maybe you want to be a community manager 😂 Be prepared for some pitchforks 🧐

I’m 100 % with you on that. Health comes above all else.

But his mate, who is also running the business, could just leave a message of absence or so. With the pre-course this would honestly be enough - at least for me.

Yea, I read you the other day commenting a post. Yet I thought I would love to bring this upfront to devs attention and provide some simple ideas on how to communicate… ehm… more 😂

I actually enjoy the Anker bolder LC90 torch and for general purpose a set of two LC40 as well as a no name mini torch as EDC.

With everyone running LEDs it is only the case and the features and use case that sets them all apart.

For headlights I went with three different Petzl torches (ACTIK, TIKKA) and am totally satisfied with the quality and feature set (one in the BOB, one as daily driver, one for my partner). Others like to go with ledlenser. In regard to regular torches olight is celebrated by the tactical community.

It comes down to this: how much are you willing to spend on this subject. I would go with products that are ranged in the realm of reasonable pricing.

For multitools, I would also recommend SOG. I EDC a small PowerAssist EOD .

What I do not recommend is Gerber, at least not in the price class I bought. I got myself a Gerber Suspension and an Airlift in a set and both kind of suck for my purpose, maybe even for any purpose.

In terms of blades I’m intrigued by “local brands” Wolfgangs and Boker and as always mora. Anyhow, my next fixed blade will be a ESEE 4.

Hi, in my opinion there are several great brands for different stuff out there. Whenever I want to buy a product I try to find some youtube reviews to see what problems might come up with. Often times you can also find information “searching the old place where we used to hang out” 😂

Anyhow: as a rough orientation and pretty obvious: I would never trust a reviewer to be unbiased if he pushes you to use his affiliate marketing links, or if he is sponsored by the brand.
