Dear Magic Earth team,
I am a very happy user of your navigation software and fully support your decision to go for a paid only approach. In fact, I think the price is more than fair.
However, another aspect of the announced system will make it impossible to continue using it. And that is the requirement to pay using the Google Store.
Your product is one of those used by the rising population of de-googled Android users. In fact, I have not met anyone using it who is not using it to avoid Google.
Having to install Google Services on the phone is a price many of your customers, me included, won't be able or willing to pay.
Please introduce another payment option by credit card, so I can continue to use and recommend your product.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
....
