OK. So now they added a bit of graphics power and updated IOS a bit. Now they want hundreds more of my money.
Has Android progressed at all? I mean, really, at all? Now I have to spend tons of money to get what I already paid for that has not worked yet fully? Has web been fixed at all? No, of course not. Will it ever? Will I actually receive a working copy of web deployment without spending hundreds more? It sounds like I will HAVE TO upgrade to 5.0 if they ever do come out with these fixes. Really. I bought into Live Code with the promise of cross-development. So far, I have lost a major client due to cross-deployment not working AT ALL on what I consider a simple database program. I will not spend any more money on LiveCode until these things have been addressed. What sucks is, I really like LiveCode. I waited for a long time to buy it and then a good deal (and some money in my pocket) presented itself. To say I was let down is an understatement. I lost my primary mode of income because the web deployment module, which supposedly worked, ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DID NOT WORK. I feel screwed - and now, like so many other companies, they want more money for a new version without fixing or finishing the previous version problems and promises. Nope. Not going to do it. Fact is, I bought Rad PHP EX2 from Embarcadero for $300 and it can deploy to almost anything because it compiles to AJAX, Air, Flex and HTML5 - and it is very graphically oriented and OOP. Granted, if I wanted to purchase Delphi or their version of the complete coding collection, it would cost in the thousands. However, I feel Rad PHP is enough to get done what I wanted to do in LiveCode. It sucks, because I was beginning to really 'get' LiveCode, and I was really enjoying learning it, but I am officially done. Some will say I did not give LiveCode a chance. However, I lost a client because web deployment was broken - a very big client that was paying me very good money for creating their database systems. I went from PHP and MySQL to LiveCode because of the lure of cross deployment. It was a serious mistake and the damage is done. Now 5.0 is released and I see no progress AT ALL to Android and Web - the two reasons I went with Live Code. Does anyone else feel the same way or am I alone feeling like this? Are you all really ok with doling out cash because a new version a 3 or 4 features have been added. I would change my tune if a long list of fixes - specifically to Android and Web - were also presented. TBH, it is STUPID of RunRev to offer a deployment option that is broken - without any ETA of a fix or working version. Very said indeed.
