Hi @GwilymJames thanks for confirming that the current apps do allow Basic subscriptions to listen to the audio podcasts, and the new apps do not. Also thanks for offering a trial Premium subscription but I had a 1 yr Premium subscription in the recent past; it’s not for me.
I did laugh at the proposed rationale that this is for a “simpler pricing structure”, as if it’s a consumer benefit You can just say it’s to increase fees – you are a business striving to earn money, and nothing is wrong with that.
I will point out, though, this isn’t simpler at all, and in fact it seems very odd / out of touch to show a different set of content depending on what device you use to access the site. I use a lot of different paid content/productivity apps – Netflix, New York Times, Slack, Basecamp, etc – and not one of them differentiates between whether you’re viewing their content via an app or the website. You have a pretty good mobile site, too, so I really don’t think many people will be convinced to pay an extra $100/yr just for the convenience of the app over the mobile site. Maybe I’m wrong, though – I trust you will find the pricing strategy that works best (and I sincerely hope you do. I’ve been using CP forever and want to see it last).
