Why make an app, charge 3.99 for it, then make it free? Hmmm. Maybe since it's free they upload your key presses to the cloud for future "study" ?

I wonder if they will make ALL the themes free for those who paid for the app? So many questions, so little time.

Paid users get free access to a 10 pack of themes. You've got to be signed into its cloud for it to see you've paid. Once logging in go to Themes, Packs, the $4.99 should be crossed through, tap it, enjoy.
What about those who bought both the phone and tablet versions before they merged into 1 thus they got gipped back then as well. Since I got my tablet version on Google, phone version on Amazon when they merged them they said I had to pay for new all in 1 version again to use it on my phone. Shortly after I got the Note2 and the tablet version (legacy) worked fine.
