Sequel To Location-Based Reminder App Checkmark Checks In To App Store
March 18, 2014
Right on schedule, Checkmark 2 has checked in to the App Store.
As its name indicates, Checkmark 2 is the sequel to the popular location-based reminder and to-do app Checkmark, which was released by Snowman in July 2012.
We'll have a full review of Checkmark later today here on AppAdvice. In the meantime, here's a list of what's new in the app:
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here. Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 7.0 or later, Checkmark 2 is available now in the App Store for the 50-percent-off launch price of $2.99. That's right: Checkmark 2 arrives not as a free update to Checkmark, but as a brand new app. In fact, the original Checkmark app has been removed by Snowman from the App Store — a move that's likely to ruffle the feathers of quite a few users of the now defunct app. "Since there’s currently no way to offer an in-app 'upgrade' sort of thing, and since we don’t really have a reason to charge for a subscription, this is the right move for our company," Snowman explains in a blog post. "We want to continue building great software, but we can’t do that without charging for our time." In any case, stay tuned to AppAdvice for our review to find out if Checkmark 2 is worth the download or upgrade. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
