Hello, **is the subscription absolutely necessary**? Will the app be able to work with minimal data or will it not work at all?
If I don’t take out a subscription, will I lose all the traces I’ve had for 5 years with V1?
Thank you for your reply
Sébastien

Hello Sébastien,
You’ve already had 27 days to test V2 – you know exactly what you’re getting.
For €27/year (via [app.windsporttracker.com](http://app.windsporttracker.com), slightly more expensive on Android/iOS), everything continues to work, including all your tracks. That’s €2.25/month for an app you’ve been actively using for 5 years.
If you decide not to continue, you can export your data beforehand.
Best regards
