    "Ripped off"

    December 9, 2011  |   By amanda_wa

    Version: iFinger Collins English Dictionary 4.1

    Pros

    While it worked it was great

    Cons

    They changed the software to a subscription and cancelled versions that had been bought and paid for by disabling the dictionaries. They changed their business and forced it on customers retrospectively, without warning. I would not have bought a subscription dictionary because my income is unpredictable. I am left without nothing in exchange for my $120...

    Summary

    Unethical company.

    "I would have put 0 stars for this rip-off"

    December 5, 2011  |   By Maximilian Andrews

    Version: iFinger Collins English Dictionary 3.3

    Pros

    it's handy, but becomes a moot point after losing the license

    Cons

    license becomes obsolete even if you have activation code and executable

    Summary

    When I buy a software package I always backup my activation code/license number and executable, but it was pointless with iFinger. The software installs by connecting to their webserver, and then downloading the package that you purchased. Unfortunately, if they decide to upgrade the search engine, you lose the possibility to reinstall the product you previously purchased!!! I consider this a ripoff, since I can't reinstall 4 dictionaries, for which I paid at least 30 USD each, because their license is bound to a search engine which cannot connect to the iFinger webserver. SO if you change computer, and they change version of the search engine, you lose the software... (so I lost over 120 USD) Moreover, if you have a product which is still available, but the version is too old, you can't upgrade. I complained to the company and I got this answer:
    "iFinger is not offering a subscription model.
    The customer must ensure proper storage and back up of it?s own data.
    iFinger does not offer support for events outside iFinger?s control. Events causing loss of data is not a support issue, i.e. iFinger does not provide links or keys to purchased product data a second time. The product will work as long as you don't change your environment. When you change your OS, we can not guarantee that iFinger will work."
    This is a ripoff (I said that already) because I simply changed computer, and I still had licenses and executables (so I didn't lose my data, otherwise I wouldn't even complain about such a mistake) but I couldn't install the programs on my new computer!
    SO to sum it up: don't buy it, even though the product itself is good, because you will eventually lose it!
