Yes sure, I did not intend to advertise that app.
But then, if you buy the "basic" license (for just 75.00 €) you get the
manual for free!! :-)
Still, if one is looking for such a tool there are not too many
competitors out there. If the free version is usable without buying the
manual I cannot tell (and I do not feel much inclination to find out).
And besides, I don't think we should condemn the developers because they
try to earn money with the work they are doing. Some way or other all of
us have to earn their living. At least they give away a free and open
source version of their app and sell the manual, I think that is better
than the other way around.
