Softorino is a greedy company.
This company, Softorino, bought out the Beamer 3 App that so many Mac users used for watching movies - from the former company, and are now trying to hijack people to pay a yearly subscription to get Beamer 4, or a full license for $300 (!) dollars which is 20 times what the original Beamer app cost. I bought Beamer 3 for $15. They have even discontinued download of the former app for existing customers. I get bombarded with emails from them - trying to get me to subscribe, even though I asked them not to. Such a greedy company. One of those companies that for some strange reason either have 1 star of 5 stars on trustpilot. Go figure.

Hey Mike, Thanks for reaching out and sharing your thoughts. We're really sorry to hear that you feel this way. Our intention is never to come across as greedy, but rather to provide valuable services to our users. We understand your concerns about the pricing and changes with Beamer. It's important to us that you know the backstory behind Beamer 4 and why it's now part of the Universal License. When we acquired Beamer 3, it had been neglected for years by its previous developers. Recognizing its potential, we put our hearts into rebuilding it from scratch to ensure compatibility with the latest technology. This necessitated the transition to the Universal License system, which consolidates all our apps into one subscription. We know it's not the easiest change, but it allows us to focus on creating top-notch software without constantly pushing marketing efforts. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we'll take it into consideration as we continue to evolve.
