@typeNtardis: yes, crap now. the CEO/Management are on the way to monetize the service (cca ¥1000/month). But they are creating uncerntaity and confusion just now. We'll se where it will go.
@radekhn In my opinion, ok, sure, they deserve to profit from such an excellent service and excellent app. But I think they risk all the popularity they got by being free. We who gave them "free advertising" were talking about a free service - once they become a paid service, then they become something other than what we advertised. Do you happen to know of a similar service which is still free?
wait, so this program is not avalable anymoore????
