The PinkUn + app - Your questions answered

[sgncfc 1,221]

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.

We have a couple of tablets in the house and they simply don't get used - the ads have ruined them.

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.

Hey pete?  do we have to pay for the app?

After your initial two-month fee trial, yes, but it’s ridiculously cheap.

Will I be able to access the same account on both apple and android devices? It’s just the devices I mainly use to view the Pink un are my iPad and mobile, it’s just my mobile’s android

All based on a login so I assume so but I’ll check and get back to you.

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 ?

Au contraire, as Elton John nearly said: "I'm a desktop man until my dying day."

Some of the previously free content on the website has already gone to be exclusive to the app. And so it begins......

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. 😁

• 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.

Pete, re those FAQs, I hadn't realised one had to do that linking to database bit when I signed up on Saturday, not least because immediately I was able to see the minute by minute, which I think was paywalled.

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.

Hi Pete, nothing obvious at all to click on. I will email the help desk. Thanks.

Press Conference article is now 10x better/easier to read, thanks for passing the message on and well done for the positive changes 👍

[Iwans Big Toe 312]

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?

Can you give us the number that have signed up for this app.

Don't hold out for an answer to that.

[Grumpy 122]

Naive may be,but if they want us to believe it is for the better then I would expect some honesty

[Grumpy 122]

But then again I was naive enough to think that the supporters would not resort to booing Buendia last night.

Apparently in my bloody dreams

[Grumpy 122]

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.

That would be worth a months subscription

[Grumpy 122]

Amazing.All of a sudden Pete has gone on holiday.

It was a genuine question.How many have signed up

As i told you earlier don't hold your breath for an answer.

[Greavsy 2,412]

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! 

[Pete Raven 276]

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.

Just went to download for Android and shows 500+, so somewhere between 500 and 1000 I'd guess. Obviously that doesn't include Apple/desk top downloads
