Man am I glad I didn't update and pay for it back then. For those that haven't seen yet, tapatalk 2 is now a free upgrade. Sorry for those of you who paid for it.
The end result is that early backers (I will call it that at this point) basically got told to bend over. "We want to screw you since you paid us to beta test 2, before we gave it to version 1 users for free."
