I find it sad that our industry has trained so many people to expect that a free trial is going to automatically convert into some sort of payment when the trial ends, unless they somehow cancel the trial.

We also shipped an OmniFocus 4.4.3 update yesterday! It has a number of improvements, but one of the most notable is improved sync times on Apple Watch:
• Sync — Apple Watch app will no longer attempt any database maintenance tasks, reducing sync times.
• Sync — Apple Watch app will no longer attempt any database maintenance tasks, reducing sync times.
