    I’m sure there’s no shortage of frugal people willing to wait for cheaper options but I don’t think Intua believes they can rely upon these individuals to sustain their company.

    By ‘frugal people’, you mean people with sense, or not much money that won’t pay £40 for something, when it might be free at some point again?

    The ‘frugal people’ didn’t realise they COULD wait for it to go free, until today.

    Now they know.

    There’s nothing wrong with frugal people, I just believe Intua is focused on somehow trying to find more people willing to support what they’re trying to do by gaining more exposure via their free app promo.

    If the value of the app isn’t of sufficient value or if a large enough proportion of their customers are frugal people who are sufficiently patient to wait for free promos then the strategy could back fire on them. Even non-frugal people may object to the strategy sufficiently strongly to wait for free app promos in the future.

    It may turn out that Intua is feeling sufficiently desperate or have misjudged their market by taking this free promo risk. It may even benefit them in the short run, but the next time they release an app, a larger proportion of people may be unwilling to bite on the initial release and wait for the free promo indefinitely.

    Ultimately, if they don’t find enough customers to support their efforts, they’ll get out of the iOS music app business unless its a gateway to some of their other products.

    It’s tough business being a farmer or a music creation app developer.

    You should try web design these days.

    Look, I seem to be at odds with everyone on this thread. Nothing anyone says will change my opinion that this is a stupid move, so I’ll bow out.

    Before I go I’ll point out though my opinion is based on nearly 40 years of working in marketing, and some of my ideas netted a famous tech company many millions in extra sales. I’m not as stupid as I look.

    Here’s why I am not persuaded by your argument that an App Shopper $0 rating won’t significantly effect BM3 sales.

    1. Using App Shopper information as a guide for when to pull the trigger means you don’t have a pressing interest in the app in question, its value isn’t sufficiently valuable to you to consider purchasing the app at full price.
    2. BM3 is a complex app which requires a significant investment of time to learn to benefit from the app versus less complex apps. Even when the app is free, if the user is not willing to take the time to learn it, they’d stop using it relatively quickly. BM3 is more niche than other apps.
    3. Complex apps are much more difficult to develop, test, document, and update so that means the developer needs to find users who are willing to support the app so it’s a case of the quality of the user rather than the quantity relative to less complex and less niche apps.
    4. BM3 relies upon users who conclude there isn’t another alternative to the app so they’re more invested in the continued development and updates as they’re not content to abandon it for other options.

    If I didn’t believe so strongly that BM3 is an app which is only sustainable if users are strongly financially committed to BM3 due to the increased development/update/documentation costs along with its more niche appeal due to fewer users willing to invest the time needed to learn it, I’d agree with your App Shopper assessment.

    On the other hand I do believe that because it is a niche app reliant upon strong user loyalty, giving the app away for free does risk alienating your existing user base if they don’t believe they’ll benefit from the free promo or if they’re not offered something free which the new users will not get especially if users believe they’ve been using an app which they’ve helped to refine by providing feedback. If the proportion of users in this category is large enough to derail Intua, then its my belief they weren’t going to be sustainable via iOS alone as their product hadn’t established sufficient user value.

    I would also agree that there is a tendency to assume that free products have no value so it could certainly be a case where prospective users may lump it in with other free offerings though the timing to do the promo during NAMM does seem designed to maximize who learns about it by hoping to win over more music press/media people.

    I suggested to three kids I know in my town who are musicians that they grab it. There's no way they would have bought it given their financial situations. I see this as a win because now I can give them tips on how to use BM3 instead of the "lite" version of Ableton live they are making do with.

    They've got iPads and can't afford apps, strange daze indeed.

    Sometimes someone gives away their old iPad when they get a new one. Not that strange really. I was gifted an iPad2 but couldn’t afford anything but the free stuff for a while. It was awesome still.

    They've got parents with iPads that get handed down--that's exactly how it goes.

    They probably can have acces to a iPad but not to a credit card, which seems legit

    Thanks, just downloaded it for free :)

    That said, I think it is a total stupid move from Intua. It devaluates the trust of early adaptors and the serious muscians that bought into iOS and Beatmaker as something that has proper value. It undermines also the trust in de iOS ecosystem where the same expensive app can become free the next day. I would even go as far as saying that this whole gesture shows the bankruptcy of the whole app economy. It just comes down that a dev can and will do with his/ her app to get exposure. Sad!

    I agree, I bought BM1 BM2 and BM3 all around their release dates and however they have set a precedent for dropping the price so infuture should Intua Release BMMac or BM4 I will not be an early adopter or supporter and will wait for it be either free or greatly reduced as part of a promotion !
    Remember this is the thought process of a loyal customer who likes the product, I like cash in my pocket even more !

    How do you know about my incomes? Have you been spying on me? Have you hacked me?
    And by the way some well thought purchases will cost less than “I’ll buy anything that is on sale” just because it is cheap-ish

  • CracklePotCracklePot

    @mathieugarcia Thank you for making BM3 free for a limited time. I have just spent an hour or so with it and really love it. The quick start guide was great to help get me going. The workflow is actually not too unfamiliar feeling, and the app is so smooth it is a joy to use. It sounds amazing as well. I am really looking forward to spending more time with BM3; I’ll admit I am hooked already. This app is at the pinnacle of iOS music apps.

    You’re joking, right?

    Well, they could of been free for those two days BM3 is free.

    Again, are you seriously kidding? You’re getting a $24.99 app for free. Do you seriously expect Mathieu to entirely eliminate any means of income for four days straight?

    Maybe Intua should include some vinyl records for us to sample or better yet, sample the records for us, chop them and provide free download links. Sheesh, we live in a world of entitlement and instant gratification. The struggle is real.

    How would I know that?

    What did you pay for the app? If you paid £40 and are absolutely ok it’s free shortly after, I don’t need to know your income to conclude you have a lot more disposable income than I have here.

    How about thinking like this, all the people who get it for free now will start using it, post on forums, and YouTube.

    This will mean more coverage and more publicity and so potentialy more sales after the free period ends???

    Who’s going to pay £40 for an app that was free the week before?

    Answer = no-one.

    Someone who missed the deal but still needs the package because of its features rather than because its cheap.

    They won’t though will they. They’ll wait until it’s free again, or buy something else.

    Do you work for their marketing department?

    So the logic is:
    I need BM3 features today
    Last week it was free
    So I buy something else at the same price, which won’t fulfill my needs because BM3 isn’t free right now

    You sold me

    If you need BM3 features you’ll no doubt either already have it (let’s face it, it’s hardly been kept a secret), or you’ll have been on the fence and jumped on it today.

    If you miss the free offer, you’ll kick yourself and wait for the next sale or freebie since a precedent has been established. Only the very desperate will now fork out £40.

    Not everyone has bottomless pockets like yourself, some of us shop around. Or wait for a deal.

    Just out of interest, what did you pay for it?

    I just don’t see how or why a precedent has been established. It’s sounds to me like it’s just an off-the-cuff, what the hell it’s NAMM let’s do something generous and hopefully spread the word sort of move. And it’s extremely generous on their part. I’ve done work for free for a variety of reasons, but that sure as hell doesn’t etch a precedent upon my services. If they were doing this repeatedly over time then I would not be saying this.

    I’m curious. Would you feel any differently if they dropped the price to $5.00 for these three days. What about $10.00?

    I’d say a 50% sale, back to the intro price would have been the sensible thing to do.

    As fo your free work - your fee history isn’t displayed on the internet for the World to see.

    It’s free, it’s a precedent, it’s logged, and anyone looking at an app tracker will know it’s been valued at £0.

    How do you know my career isn’t based around building / maintaining a website wherein all that is achieved is a public display off all fees I’ve ever charged or not charged??

    Actually ....saw you mentioned you’re a web designer, we’re in similar boats. Which means nothing other than we’ll call time on this disagreement.

  • BlueGreenSpiralBlueGreenSpiral

    This must be approaching the longest thread in the history of the forum! Interesting to see the range of opinions.

    I have had visitors or visited people who have no clue that iOS music production even exists. Some of them have bought an iPad afterwards and they will usually get the apps that they have used and enjoyed when using my device. If I end up using BM3 then that may well translate into a future paying customer for Intua.

    I can definitely see both sides though. Not long ago I was mildly raging when blocs wave became a free app not long after release. As soon as I opened Blocs I realised that this has no effect on me and felt guilty for giving novation a slightly bitter response on this forum. I since realised it didn't even go free since audio import and I think the slicer are now IAP. Sorry @AmpifyxNovation

    Your analogy is way off by the way unless BM3 has started supplying me with free music apps since I purchased it ?

    If that was the case I would have no problem with it currently being free of charge !

    If you see apps you paid big bucks for become free this could become a good reason for jailbreaking your iOS device so you can get all apps for free and never being ripped of again by companies like Intua.

    To be clear the point I'm making is that with this kind of giveaway actions you will undermine yourself as dev and the whole economy of buying apps, because why wait for apps become free as you can have them already for free on your jailbroken device.

    fyi I downloaded the App for free today, but in my eyes this move by Intua does harm the whole app economy.

  • knewspeakknewspeak

    If this move is an act of desperation by Intua, it may have short term benefits for app developers who may see an increase in sales that can be used in conjunction with BM3, but as an overall strategy for iOS development I think it will do more harm. Other apps have done this in the past and slowly over time become irrelevant.

    It got updated with IAA & Link about a year ago, so if it does what your looking for, it's pretty useful now. Just re-downloaded it, after your reminder, it loaded into AUM no problem, and link works fine........might use it for something..........just sampled it quickly into BM3 with no problem, so that could be useful.........
