Not happy. I recently purchased the whole suite and now not only is it now free (didn't need to purchase it), but it's no longer even what I want. And it doesn't work on iPad until they finish whatever rewrite, when cross-platform + apple pencil niceness was a huge draw.

Sure, it's free -- but it's no longer the same product with the same priorities.

How long ago? I’d be going for a refund or credit card coverage if you’ve got it.

I don't feel like they owe me a refund in principle, at the end of the day I paid for subscription-free software and they delivered it, and I'm happy to do that exchange. I just don't like the changes and the future direction and that I won't be receiving updates to the one I'm currently using.

Ah, I thought you’d paid a one off fee.
