Support is unresponsive, this looks like an exit scam.

Finally this is getting traction after leaving many of us out of pocket.

Both developers [1] are working in management at Microsoft and AWS while ignoring emails, leaving JuiceSSH to rot because they couldn't be bothered to wrap up cleanly (refund, release a final update with pro features enabled, release the source code etc.)

Don't bother going back to Google either. A Play store "support specialist" just told me:

I tried to create a refund request but its not allowing to create one since the date of the transaction is out of our refund policy as we can only process refunds for up to 120 days only after the transaction was charged.

The about link above gave a Cloudfront-looking failure, but the base domain here worked and is where the app help link takes me, albeit to /faq:

I reactivated my license a few months ago using the in-app functionality but I'm not quite sure when I'm afraid.

Thinking I'll just create a clone of JuiceSSH myself and make all the stuff FOSS. I don't like developers who fleece me out of my purchases.

In other words, any Google Play app is allowed to just pull the plug on features after four months and pocket the money. Wonderful...
