I have been a long time user of Tower, and am supportive of and maintain annual subscriptions for several pieces of software that are essential to my workflow. I am a software developer and I understand the need for a subscription model for certain applications and businesses. There is not a single application on my computer I have not happily paid for a license fee or subscription to if required.
I will not be purchasing a subscription for Tower. This model does not make sense for this application.
I agree with this but I think the price is a bit high (I bought it, because I like it).
I don't feel like I got a lot of value for the money because Tower 2 was so great, and I had to pay more to use Bitbucket Server. Hopefully, new features will change my mind on this.
Stuff you can't do:
- Add reviewers to pull requests
- Approve pull requests
This is the main new features so its a bit disappointing to not be able to do this. I find the UI for PRs to be a bit hard too, compared with the rest of the app.
