I bought the machinist calc pro app for my phone because it claimed to have the same data in it as the mchinerys handbook. Paid close to $50 for it. Come to find out it didn't have any materials data which made speeds and feeds practically useless so I and hundreds of others asked them to update the app with that info. We were told that the app would be updated.
I just found out today that if you want to have the materials data, you have to buy a whole completely new app. And the kicker is, it's cheaper than the basically useless app I bought that was supposed to have that in it already.
So they sell an app, withhold important parts and sell a new app costing less than what you paid for the first one.
So for $80 I can have the functionality of an app that emulates a $50 calculator.
Nice huh?
