Web Only Subscription

Hello,

I feel this website has an interesting concept and would be willing to pay for a subscription. However, I do not own any iOS products and have no desire either. Consequently, I would be interested in a subscription that corresponds with my usage. Namely, the web version only. Is there any chance that such a subscription will be introduced?

Think of the Skritter subscription as just a Skritter subscription, with your choice of either the web client, the iOS app, or both. There isn't a discount for not using one of the clients; most Skritterers only use one of them. It's just a bonus to be able to use the other if someone happens to want it, just like it happens to be a bonus to be able to study both Chinese and Japanese with the same subscription.

Also, the web and iOS7 apps are really just free interfaces to the Skritter back-end, which is what you are actually paying for.

Skritter is more than worth it. Go through the trial period and see for yourself. I wasn't sure at first and eight months later I know that if it wasn't for skritter, my Chinese would still be as non-existent as it was in January.

For those of us from the western world, money and well paid jobs are plentiful, so we shouldn't really have any hesitation paying for any resource that will save significant time - time is more limited in life than money. Skritter saves significant time.
