Further more you are not limited to what app offers but to what Google Play offers. Buying the voices in Google Play means that you can use them with any application including that you can use them as Talkback (Android term for VoiceOver) voice. If you buy voices buy them on Google Play, not in the app. This is advice for voices on Android (as emmasey mentioned that), though you can apply it to the Mac and Windows too and hopefully in the near future you will be able to apply it on iOS. Might be possible to side load that in the future but I'll leave that to others to figure out. I did also peak to see if an M1 Mac user could download it on the iPhone and iPad app section but it looks like that's disabled. I've been using Voice dream reader for IOS since 2012, and I find it to be a phenomenal product. With that said, I'd say if you want to buy in on the IOS version without a subscription, I'd do it sooner rather than later. Note: This is how I personally am reading it, and I have no information from the author beyond what I read in the blog post linked to above. The way I read it, if you own it now, you can use it forever, but he may change it so that new customers that want to buy in later may need to buy in on a subscription model. Now, I don't know how that stacks up for new customers. So basically if you own it now, you'll have it. It seems like the products we already bought will remain the way they are. It's the line that says that this only applies to new products going forward. I can say that there's one thing in there that struck me. I just took a look at the official explanation. But even then it is not the same if you convert your pricing so that you receive your previous price in few months or in few years. It is much less frequent to sell software without some services as subscription. It is technically impossible to sell it any other way.

For example YouTube subscription is technically necessary as they need to pay fees to content owners and server costs. It is really hard to comment subscriptions in general way like Quin did. It is less frequent in consumer industry, but even there TelCos, banks and insurance do that in some cases. There is really nothing unethical in that. This is a usual practice in many industries, for example business-to-business sale is frequently performed this way - you approach the clients of another company and try to win them by presenting a better offer. I am not sure exactly where did I criticize the decisions? I have just quoted the facts and their official documents and presented my policies for the same things.
