I used to defend them in the past, even for the rather ridiculous prices they charged for every major upgrade.
However i can't nor will i defend this pricing policy. It is absolutely overpriced and for the first time i'm considering moving on to other software options. For the time being i continue to use LTP 6, and especially for that haven't switched to iCloud drive, but that is not a permanent solution.
Keeping a logbook is a personal thing anyway, by law i am not required to do so anymore as my employer is responsible for that according to EASA FCL.
