Are they funding a country? NO WAY will I pay $49.99 a year...
I have no problem paying for something that brings value to my workflow. However, when there are several free options that bring the same quality and features that Newton boasts, I would be stupid to pay; especially when the amount is something unreasonable like $49 a year (ongoing). As I said, I have no problem paying a reasonable amount. For example, I tried Spark which is great and free but wanted to try something that offered a Mac solution as well (Spark is only for the iOS at this time). I tried AirMail and loved it! I didn’t even bat an eye paying the ONE-TIME price for their products ($14.99 - Mac and $4.99 for iOS).
So to the 2 or 3 reviewers who speak down to the rest for not being willing to pay something I would say two things 1) Why pay when equivalent options are available for free (supply and demand) and 2) I did pay because another option that was available priced themselves reasonably (supply and demand). If you want to pay $49 a year for email that is your right but I think it is silly when other comparable (dare I say even better) options are available for free or much, much cheaper.
