Questions

Buying and upgrades

Does one purchase cover all my devices?

Yes. Raw Smith is one universal purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac, signed in with the same Apple Account.

Can my family use it?

Yes. Pro Forever and Pro Yearly both support Family Sharing.

What happens when the trial ends?

Nothing you made is lost. Pro adjustments stay on your photos and stay visible. Exporting a photo that uses Pro tools asks you to unlock Pro, or you can export it without the Pro adjustments. Sync pauses; your libraries on each device stay complete.

Will there be paid upgrades?

No. Pro Forever includes every Pro feature in Raw Smith, on every device, for as long as the app is sold. No paid major versions. If a future feature ever cost us money each time it's used (for example a cloud service), it would be a separate, optional add-on, and nothing you already have would move behind it.

If I cancel Pro Yearly, do I lose my edits?

No. You keep everything you edited; Pro tools become read-only until you subscribe again or buy Pro Forever.
