Any thoughts about apps for Symbian/iOS/WP/Android etc? I have been playing with iCumulus for iPhone add on with some very useful results.

I leave that sort of thing to others, Cumulus itself takes up all of my time :lol:

There's an android app here - http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4959

The monetization could be done in many ways assuming that the intent is to formally monetize.


I did have a fantasy some time ago that I would get enough donations to allow me to retire early and concentrate on Cumulus full time. Still a fantasy!

I have had similar fantasies...then I awake turn on the Today Programme to hear how must extra I must pay and how much less I will get and how I will enjoy a fully cathartic austerity life experience which will enrich my soul :lol:

Steve,
I can't give verbal kudos without backing it with my wallet. It's harder now that I am retired but this is still the best value software I have on my PC. My annual "Support & Maintenance Fee" has just been remitted.

You are getting a lot of well-meaning advice :bash: on how to fund your venture. Mine is simply do it the way you are most comfortable with -- just don't develop any ulcers. I am sure that the users of your software will back your decision. If we don't we will be the losers.

Looking back on the opening post in this thread I wonder how different things are now, I mean has the thread resulted in more donations and is it at least now covering your costs?

I'd like to donate more but a pension budget limits that ability, but as soon as we have some few dollars to spare I will be happy to donate once again. Please do not make it a subscription thing, they are rather annoying and can be a burden on those already with limited funds available.

A shareware or 30 day trial is fine and I would be happy to support that, maybe start that for version 2. Just when you have updates ensure those that have already paid only need to pay a smaller fee to update.

Cheers

GW

Donations have increased significantly since then, and are now just about covering my outgoings; particularly if you take into account the fact that using some of the money I was able to repair my computer when it died, and bought a new coffee machine (which, as any programmer will know, is an essential part of the development process ;) ) both of which I considered fair use of the money.

Overall I would say that I'm satisfied with the level of donations now; thank you very much to everyone that has donated - some of you on more than one occasion.

Having used the Weatherlink s/w for years on my VantagePro+ station, I have just swapped to Cumulus. I should have swapped years ago... what an excellent little package!

I am happy to have made a donation :D

cheerio,

Keith.

Hi. My name is Chris and we just started using v1.9.1, yesterday. We are a small government district in the Tangipahoa parish of Louisiana, USA.

We need you to contact us, via email, so we can discuss how we can donate to you.

Thanks...Chris

I got your message via the contact form, Chris, I just haven't had chance to formulate a reply yet.
