My feelings echo those of ghuth, and I’m sure of the others who have chosen not to post.
I’m disappointed, to be sure. While Jay’s reasons are his own, and I respect those, I feel as though what has happened to Legend mirrors Workflowy, Dynalist and other outliners (at least, from the user’s perspective).
I’m continuing to deal with problems with the iOS app on iPhone, synching errors when it is left running, and Windows App problems where items I have deleted re-appear later as blank lines that cannot be deleted and corrupt documents. I just finished cutting and pasting hundreds of items from a corrupt document into a new one because I couldn’t deleted anything in the previous doc. I feel I’m now spending more time fixing issues and trying to find items that aren’t there than I am getting positive use from the app. And I don’t even use any of the advanced features; just a lot of adding and deleting of items in a few documents.
Like the aforementioned apps, we’re now using an app that no longer looks like it will see any fixes, updates or features. I, also was going to switch to a Lifetime subscription several months ago and am glad I waited.
While I’d like to see a brand new, more reliable rebuild of Legend, I’m not sure I have the confidence or patience to wait. Alas, I now believe we will not see the ‘pairing down of buggy features’ that has been discussed in the previous months.
I do think that Jay should put something official onto the main web page to describe the current state of the application as “frozen”, in that it does not seem likely that it will be worked upon in the future as his interests are elsewhere. That would be the proper thing to do if interest in it is now lost, yet the app is still being ‘sold’.
