sgncfc 1,228 Posted December 10, 2021 Everyone is moving content from free websites to (preferably) paid apps, on the basis they can then provide exclusive content. It's just a different business model. Targeted adverts will inevitably follow because that's what happens to maximise revenue, and the AI within the app isn't just going to sit there and do nothing. Currently free apps won't be free for too much longer. Organisations spending money on non-interactive websites for little or no return is over - unless it uses the same tech as an app there won't be a website. Desktops are virtually history already other than for very specific industries (design, entertainment etc) where processing power is needed. Laptops won't be far behind - almost every consumer and product development is now focussed on tablets/phones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bournemouth Mafiosa 0 Posted December 11, 2021 Well that’s a master stroke from the PinkUn - how to alienate a loyal following by switching to a subscription only app rather than re-energise its tired and tame existing offering. Pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry53 209 Posted December 12, 2021 I want to continue to use the forum to gain knowledge and to post my Matchday Experience video links. Do I need to subscribe to continue doing this? Also if I do have to subscribe can I use the same subscription for my android mobile and desktop Mac ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,228 Posted December 12, 2021 Some of the previously free content on the website has already gone to be exclusive to the app. And so it begins...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, Paddy’s ratings piece was advertised on SM but you could only view them from the App. Previously free, now behind the (albeit currently free) new set up. Booooo. 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted December 13, 2021 Your Pink Un+ subscription can be accessed on multiple devices and is not limited to just the device you signed up on. Depending on where you took out your subscription there are a few ways to activate access on other devices... If you subscribed via the Pink Un website, you can access on Android and Apple devices and our web view at https://app.pinkun.com by logging in using your email address and password If you subscribed within the app, you can access it on other devices on the same platform by tapping the 'Restore' button on the Subscribe window in the app on the new device to link your subscription If you subscribed within the app and wish to access on devices on a different platform or via our web view, please tap the 'Link your Apple Subscription'/'Link your Google Subscription' option in the ‘My Account’ section of the app and follow the steps to register an account. You will then be able to use the email address and password you register to login to the app on different devices and the web view at https://app.pinkun.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But now I can't see any of the paywalled stuff, presumably because I haven't done that linking, but when I click on My Account I cannot see that linking link that is mentioned.

Iwans Big Toe 312 Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Not sure why you'd expect people to pay £1.99 per month to hear what you have to say, when you're happy to censor others with a somewhat dissenting view? Edited December 14, 2021 by Iwans Big Toe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy 122 Posted December 15, 2021 Now that you have told us that you will give bigger, better and more exclusive reports,gossip and interviews perhaps you could start by having a face to face with Todd Cantwell and let him give his reasons and answers for his turbulent start to this campaign.

Greavsy 2,415 Posted December 17, 2021 I emailed the support team with an issue I was having trying to sign in, they replied after two days asking if I could provide more details. I replied to ask what details they required ( as I had already provided email address etc) and im still awaiting their reply a week later. Hardly inspiring. Still the new Pinkun+ gazebo looked nice outside the River End on Tuesday night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted December 17, 2021 Numbers - I'll see what I can find out and if it's commercially sensitive or not. Greavsy, send me an email with your details/issue and I'll see if I can get it hurried along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
