You continue to have challenges devoting time to upgrading HanDBase. I would be very disappointed if you weren't able to spend any more time on it.
Have you considered selling it to another software company so as to generate some cash for yourself and protect your customer base?

re: price, I have not done a sale in a few years, but each time I've done it in the past, the sales increased only marginally for a week and then fell to the same levels as before. Since I was charging less for the app it meant less overall income, so it always dissuaded me from a permanent price decrease. That said, I have been thinking about all people have suggested here and have some plans to try something entirely different- a free ad-supported version, with a paid unlock for full featureset and no ads. A price reduction on the main app, and an optional subscription for new features. Still working out the details but hope to give this a try in the near future. If I can generate some interest and income, it can justify a redesign of the app and/or website.
Thanks again for your thoughts.

I have been a using HanDBase since the Palm days and have not found anything that is better. I would pay a yearly subscription of $40 - 60 to help keep the development going.
Thanks for what you have done,
David

I updated one device, and tested it carefully. When it worked I heaved a sigh of relief and repeated the operation with the other device.
All this is a long-winded way of saying that I hope you keep going with HB, Dave, and that you will finally see a way of financing survival. I have posted on this matter before, and see that some of my suggestions are being considered again. - Free light version, with ads and limited functionality, maybe a fully-featured read-only demo so that potential buyers can see what they would be getting with the complete version. A more realistic price... serious users will pay serious money. A cheap price suggests a flimsy product.
Best wishes
Michael
