grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 My The Times ipad app was up the day after tomorrow. You might remember they gave me a free extra month, er, a month ago. I wasn't going to renew it coz while I do quite like it, I don't think I like it enough to pay 2000 yen a month. Anyways, they have gone and done it again! Another month for free. They are saying they want us early adopters "to see all the improvements they have planned". Maybe just scared that most people wouldn't renew! Whatever, thanking you very muchi.

2pints-mate 0 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Interesting. At least you got a good deal with your original month hey. Apparently 90% of The Times traffic has fallen off since you need to pay. Wonder how many peope just turning up to find you need to pay then going and also those who paid the 1 pound for the first month who will subsequently stop when they have to pay the full price.

muikabochi 208 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Would be fun to see the numbers for that and the site and see how many are paying. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 They say they are going to add all the supplements weekdays as well (like The Game which will be good). I just wish the Sunday Times was included. Wotebba, it's free for another month so Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 it's just getting the user to be familiar with it and to set a habit of using it daily. That way, more than likely they will continue using it. Link to post Share on other sites

That way, more than likely they will continue using it. Obviously yes. The only way I will continue paying though is with improvements to make it more 'essential' than it is. Hopefully them delaying the need for a decision really does mean that improvements are on the way. Want the Sunday paper as well. If they need to have them separate, reduce the price of this one and have it so the total for both is what the main one now costs. I'd go for that. Link to post Share on other sites
