Should us Theft-Aware users replace it with AMS beta immediately?

[kanylbullen]

Or do you recommend us waiting until final release? Do we lose any functionality by switching now? Is the beta considered stable? Is the AMS Anti-Theft as hidden/secure on a rooted phone as Theft Aware is?

If we recently payed for the full version of Theft Aware, do we get a refund, or is there a "pro-version" of AMS that we get or any other perks?

Regards,

Hi,

The Anti-Theft in AMS is as hidden/secure as Theft Aware. It is almost the same code, actually. I'm afraid there won't be any updates for Theft Aware in future, so it is maybe better to switch to AMS.

If you would like to use only the Anti-Theft feature, just uninstall AMS after the Anti-Theft is set up.

Is AMS going to be completely free? In that case I feel like a fool buying an unbound licence the week before its release, even though it's only the amount of money that would buy me a shot of tequila.

Yes.

So why are you still selling Theft Aware on it's site? The news section doesn't even mention it has been superseded with a free version and it definitely doesn't mention that it won't receive any more updates.

Hmmm... Fully agree. Stop selling it now. There is no sense on not saying the user he/she can wait until December 21th.

We'll stop selling TA. If you've bought it recently just ask for refund.
