I love this app … I really do. It’s versatile, it’s designed well, the network seems great and the redundancy (i.e. fail safe) notification measures are excellent.
BUT ….. Anyone remember a magician named Max Kraus and his innovative app called “Mental Killer?” Well, that app was a very rudimentary version and precursor to “The Stranger.” It came out in 2011 or 2012, I think, and it was basically “The Stranger” long before it existed. The app couldn’t make live calls and it didn’t interface with other high tech devices (they weren’t invented yet), but it did allow for a number of different revelations and it was fully customizable. Mental Killer was a great app for its time, but tragically, Max Kraus was killed on his bike when he was hit by a car. Without Max, Mental Killer withered and eventually disappeared from the App Store. So my concern about “The Stranger” is, what happens if Jonathan is no longer supporting it for any reason? Obviously what happened to poor Max was extreme, sudden, tragic and totally unexpected, but any number of circumstances could cause Jonathan to abandon the app in six months, six years or six hours from now. When the future use, existsnce and viability of a very creative and outstanding product is so totally dependent on one person, is it really worth the investment of time and money to own it? I’m just not sure. |
