I feel nickel and dimed

I bought this app when it was reasonably priced. They introduced a reasonable yearly service fee of $16.99 to support more devices and to give you TV listings. I bought the $99 IR blaster, and I was reasonably happy. Each year brought new features, and as a result more and increased fees. I saw some potential to integrate my mac into the fray as well with Roomie agent ($29), which has soon after become simple sync rendering the Roomie Agent application useless and cost me another $49 to replace. They renamed themselves to Simple Control. My yearly subscription continued, so now I have Roomie Services subscription at $16.99 (not to be confused with Simple Services which actually replaces it), I have a mac OS X Simple Sync app ($49) which doesn’t do anything that I can see since any really beneficial application of this app is only seen if I spend another $29.99 per year so that I can access the features it unlocks. All in all I have now spent over $200 and I have a bunch of disjointed and EXTREMELY difficult to configure services that don’t do everything they claim to do because I haven’t been able to bring myself to spend another $29.99 to enable them. This product is a moving target with the prices continuously going up with each new feature tagging on an even bigger price tag. Support is VERY curt and condescending.

The idea was really good, but I can no longer support a company that continues to increase the cost and treats me badly.
