What apps are these? Have you considered paying the developers for continued support? They are obsolete! Surely there are alternatives, don’t let stuff drag you back to the past.

It’s a meditation app that works perfectly fine. I keep a device around just to run it.

No, I didn’t consider funding the developers to update the version as that’s a lot of money. Especially for something that completely meets my needs.

It’s not dragging me to the past, it’s a functional tool that I acquired in the past and works into the future. Is my socket set I bought 30 years ago dragging me into the past because it’s obsolete?

I avoid generalizations and extreme thinking when it’s inappropriate.
