Definitely worth it

I understand why some people are upset about the paid upgrade for Dash 3 when there aren’t that many new features, but I still think it’s a great deal. I use this app all the time and it is incredibly useful. The developer is responsive and frequently released new features for Dash 2. I view this upgrade as investing in the apps further development. Sure, it doesn’t have many improvements over Dash 2 yet, but it will receive feature updates in the future that makes it worth paying for now. Why wait until the developer is finished with every new feature before releasing the new version? Isn’t it better to get each improvement as it is released rather than waiting to release them all in a single big update?

All of that being said, the app could use some improvements. I think the UI and UX needs some love. In particular, the tabs are ugly and don’t have the normal functionality that tabs do in browsers (you can’t reopen closed tabs, for example). Additionally, the snippets functionality could be more robust which the new SnippetsLab app has demonstrated.

However, the app is still a total deal at just $10 and I am confident it will continue to receive updates and great new features.
