I've thought about this for quite sometime now and have decided that starting today I will try something different.
AquaticLog will now be free to every user. All basic functionality, all pro functionality, all free.
AquaticLog has been a passion of mine for 7 years, ever since the beginning, there was a paid option that many of you had picked that helped support this site and both mobile applications for iPhone and Android.
A lot has changed since then, what started as a website became a cloud solution with native mobile apps. All of this coding is done by only one person, over the course of the service' lifespan there has been 758 software updates to the website alone. iPhone app is now at version 9.1 and Android is getting close to that as well.
I will continue to develop and support the site, but now there will be no in-app purchases and no paid membership. You can enjoy all of the app features. I still continue paying for hosting, so I'll have to figure out the right balance for the hosting images, which is not the primary role of the app anyways.
I am still very passionate about aquariums (3 healthy active aquariums), have an active YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpOOkw6SmsYqg722u9-2XvA), enjoy other hobbies, such as photography (https://www.dtumanov.com) and consider programming to be one of my favourite pastimes.

Everyone's account is now set to expire by the end of 2020. If this new model will work for me, next year I will simply reset the date again. To everyone who has paid recently, please accept my sincere gratitude.
Enjoy the app.

Sincerely, thanks!
Have you thought about open sourcing the project? People could contribute new features and really make this a great platform.
Thanks for your time and effort, much appreciated.
