You can use both at the same time. However, on Apple TV if you launch something from the ‘Top Shelf’ it may open the other version depending on how the Apple TV feels that day.
After the initial iCloud import when installing v7 there will be no syncing between versions.
If a permanent change is required, it will likely be included when the TMDb change is rolled out. It will be fixed in the next update for Infuse 7, which should be out within the next week.
The TMDb change was original slated to be done in the spring and this is why we made the decision to back port the change to v6 (having Infuse 6 break so quickly after the release of v7 would have been weird). TheTVDB shutdown got pushed out to October, but we’re sticking with the decision to back port this to v6.
The Pro features in v6 and v7 are largely the same. However, Infuse 7 already has quite a few differences between v6, and a running list of all changes can be found here.
We try to communicate things as best we can. This was first announce on our blog in November, and we also sent out an email with this info in February alongside the release of Infuse 6.6. Apple doesn’t share personal any personal details about those who download apps with developers, but we do the best we can with trying to reach people.
There’s a range of feelings with regard to subscriptions, but Infuse is constantly being improved so with a yearly subscription you sort of get to decide if what we’ve added in the past year has been enough to earn your decision to renew. The lifetime license is available as well if you’re looking for a one-time payment
The lifetime license is not for everyone. Most people choose the monthly or yearly option.
I guess this is a risk with any company. If a company goes away, and the app is left unmaintained it will likely stop working at some point anyways.
IMHO, we have a track record of constant development (see release note link above) which you’re not going to find from most independent app developers on the App Store.
On the other hand, there have been quite a few which have been added.
We’ve recently worked to organize the suggestions area a bit better, and combine multiple threads on similar topics. A tag system has also been added to give more insight onto what may be coming in a future update.
There is an existing thread in suggestions for this particular feature.
There is limited support for adding custom metadata for TV episodes, but the artwork is fully customizable. Info on this can be found in this guide.
