  Full Version Purchase Doesnt Work

  I recently downloaded the Ethernet Status App and purchased the Full Version for $1.99. It worked for a bit and when I closed out of the app to refresh something, it does not appear as if I made the purchase. It suggests that I look at the Full Version. When I click it, the 'preferences menu' opens up. I then try to 'Restore Purchase' but nothing happens. I also restarted my computer after trying to restore and nothing changes. It still appears as if I have the 'Free Version' instead of the 'Full Version.’ I also tried reaching out to the creator on his website through the contact link, but the messaging/email section doesnt work when you click send. I wanted to give 5 stars when I first downloaded it, but Im afraid the Full Version isn’t working properly. However, the Free Version does what it claims it does.

  Free vs Paid version differences

  The free version only provides connection verification and the broadband IP address. For all other features you have to upgrade to the paid version. It is disappointing that the developer does not state the differences between the two as if he did I would not have wasted my time downloading and checking out the free version, which is really a mostly disabled trial version. In my opinion this is a form of bait and switch. I have removed the app from my system as their are many other menu apps that accomplish the same function as the free version of this one and I do not need to have another app taking up more RAM on my system that only duplicate what I already have such as Fast Tasks, Connection, and many others.

  Great app!

  This is exactly what I needed, and it's super convenient to just be able to see my IP address from the menu bar. I do have one suggestion, though -- it would be nice to have a dot in the menu bar showing that ethernet is connected as opposed to being hidden under the icon. Overall, great app!

  Frustration solved

  Microsoft making ethernet near impossible to track when also connected to wifi was an endless frustration for me. This has made it much easier to know I'm using my best connection when docked. Only $1.99 for the full version was a no-brainer.

  Simple and reliable, would like better notification

  This is great and I'm happy that it focuses on wired status and excludes wireless. I got it because my reliability is not as good if I'm only on wireless. It would be helpful if the disconnected icon could be red or something that stands out more. A notification-center notification on disconnect would also be helpful.
