Contact Swackett Classic Support

by Metalbuddhahead

I loved the Classic app until I purchased the “Pro Subscription”. It is criminal that the developer is selling this for the classic app. The radar is pretty useless. It cannot be put into motion, and the layers icon sits on top of the menu icon on the upper right of the screen. Once you open the layers you have to completely kill the app to get it to close again. I downloaded the newest non-classic version of the app and attempted to transfer over my subscription but it apparently does not transfer over. This was a waste of money, and has destroyed my faith in this developer.

First, I have never written a review for an app before this one. I hate the new "look" of swackett, it looks like the weather channel, there is way too much text, much more difficult to navigate. Why can't I have the actual temperature and the real feel, instead of having to chose in settings? Why is the horizontal hourly view gone and replaced with a difficult to read vertical orientation version that reminds me of matrix algebra? Honestly, it was a terrible update. I understand they made the moving clouds to take advantage of the new screen capabilities of iPhone 5s/c, but that's only on the homepage and that makes people motion sick. I miss the dog, I loved looking at the dog page, it was just cute, not everything needs to be utilitarian. If it was, I would use the built in weather app. I'll give them another update, but if it's still a matrix algebra, with stupid clouds moving (it's not that pretty) and one peep that's always dressed in a suit, I'm out. This was a fun, useful app, but now it's difficult to use and approximately 10% as much fun as pre-iOS 7 swatchett.

I used to use this app a lot! I especially liked the weather alerts I'd receive from it! Now, I cannot even open it—AND I PAID FOR THIS APP! Crooks! Don't think I'll make THAT mistake with YOU again!

I feel that it's just not ethical how this app, along with an increasing number of other apps, has updated exclusively to iOS 7.0 or later!!! I've had Apple products for years, and never before have I felt so rapidly boxed out with a device that is really not very old yet!

Shame on so many app developers (and Apple?) for leaving so many folks high and dry! iOS 6 should STILL be supported—devices running that version are NOT that old!!!

This dilemma makes me question whether I want to continue to purchase Apple products, as much as I have loved them, if they and their developers abandon you so quickly—and completely!

I mean, it's CHALLENGING to ensure each app isn't going to shut out your device and its iOS before you tap "Update"! There should at least be an "Ignore" option on updates about to box your iOS out! You pay for apps only to have them eventually say, "Sorry, Sucker!" That is just wrong!

I mean, we buy Apple products, not only for their quality, but also (supposedly) for their durability—well, that last reason is now a highly questionable point, subject to however long (or short, really) the developers choose to support one's device, period.
