One more Tool that wants Appsumo Lifetime Customers to pay again. And the answer shows that he doesn't understand how Appsumo works. Every app gets new features. Nobody would buy deals if the tools are not improving and getting new features.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear you feel disappointed, but to clarify — this is not a case of Filmstro charging lifetime customers again for the same product.
You're likely leaving this review due to receiving a message about our new cinematic sound effects product. These new Cinematic SFX packs are a completely new product line that didn’t exist when the AppSumo Lifetime offer was made. All...
I feel compelled to write this review, based on your most recent post here to address some of the concerns and dissatisfaction coming from Sumolings being left behind on new product updates to Filmstro.
Your pivot to now confirm that you will “transition all AppSumo purchasers to Filmstro Pro V3 effective immediately.” and that “this license grants you perpetual access to the Filmstro Pro Web App.” really instills renewed confidence, trust and integrity in you and this decision, which means that you will continue to receive the benefit of this community of ambassadors and advocates of your platform to drive future growth.
Filmstro is a unique, bleeding edge soundtrack technology which has many use-cases and applications. With such focused and dedicated founder, delivering regular new features, functionality and benefits, its future is extremely bright and I’m excited to be a part of this journey! Forza Filmstro 💪🏽

Hello there!
Thank you very much for your vote of confidence and your kind words about the product. If only I had remembered what I'd said during the original Q&A, I could have avoided all this heartache! 🤪
Never mind 😅. Living with severe memory problems, caused by my ADHD, can sometimes lead to confusion. I always say what I mean and mean what I say, but the impulsivity of my ADHD profile...
First, this is an amazing music app. Very impressed.
I'm writing because a real pet peeve of mine is when I buy an LTD that promises "All future updates" but then the move to a V3 and say, "This isn't an upgrade. It's a completely new version so it's not included." I HATE that. And that's what Filmstro has just done. :(
As minor saving grace... They're apparently offering LTD buyers a chance to upgrade to V3 at 20% of the original standard (their website, not AppSumo) price. And they're keeping V2 (now stagnant) available to us forever.
I wish there were a way for AppSumo to make that a disallowed practice.

Hello,
Apologies for the delayed response.
Upon thorough review of the statements made on our deal listing page's Q&A section, we acknowledge that certain statements implied enhanced access beyond the official terms outlined between us and AppSumo.
Specific statements may have suggested access to software upgrades beyond the updates included per AppSumo's terms as part of ongoing product...
PRO: - The music sounds really GREAT - the browserversion works very well (I hate browserapplication, because they never work really great, but this works) - you can make any track endlos (from 1 minute to 120 minutes is no problem), therefore you can use it to design hypnotic trances and stuff like that - Just listen to some of the music and you know you have to buy this awesome deal!
Only improvement-suggestion: - Create a desktop application

Thanks for the kind words Marian! We hear you on the desktop App. We're actually re-releasing a plugin for NLEs as that is probably an even better workflow for lots of folks! 🤓
The music is of high quality and very inspiring. The idea of bringing momentum, depth, and power sliders itself is mind-blowing - you won't spend nights over the soundtrack, messing it up in the end 😂 but are still getting a big chunk of control over the music track.
Additionally, there are no restrictions, making it an even more generous offer. 😘 More deals like this, please!

Fantastic deal
It’s just too hard to resist such an opportunity!
