Nice review... However, one of the cons:
 
"12-month membership renewal for new users to recieve app updates is expensive"
How does this even make sense?... How can a "new" user "renew" something?? -.-

It wrong,  simple as that.  New users pay the full purchase price upfront and get 12 months of updates,  or they pay monthly for 12 months and get the same.
It costs more in the long term to pay monthly, that is what the reviewer is referring to, but that is to be expected.  It's not a subscription, it's paying in monthly instalments.

Yeah, exactly.. It is wrong.. :/
 
If the reviewer is talking about monthly payments that doesn't come through clearly at all, since he/she is writing "12-month membership renewal". To me that sounds like a renewal of membership with another 12 months.
 
..Which isn't even possible if you're (like the statement also says) a "new" user.. :P

This is totally inaccurate. We are contacting publisher.

The link takes me to a review by Hollin Jones. And he doesn't mention it that way at all.

Has it already been edited?

It's in the MT Verdict-box at the bottom.

Gotcha. Missed that. Thanks.

While you are speaking with the publisher you might ask them to explain how Cakewalk's
 
if you only pay for 12 months you only get 12 months of updates subscription plan
 
compares to Cockos'
 
if you pay for a license we will give you several years (6 years and counting for people who bought Reaper v3) of updates without any further charges
