    @oxjox @scrubbles I have a question. When you say they “grandfathered” you into Pro+, do you mean they accepted you to upgrade to the Pro+ tier for that one-time payment, “for life”? I am genuinely unaware of the meaning because English in not my native language and some phrases do escape my grasp sometimes.

      That’s correct.

      Although, the plan I purchased “forever” for $1.99/month was then called “Pro” and included unlimited applets. They’ve now changed the plans and Pro now has limits while Pro+ is the unlimited plan. So, I’m getting the $14.99/month plan for $1.99. And frankly, it’s far more than I need but that’s besides the point; they promised us something “forever” and that was the only reason I subscribed.

      I could be wrong, but I believe the term comes from inheriting property due to family lineage. Because your grandfather owned something, it’s rightfully yours (for better or worse).
