Hi Rob,

Long-time user of Xara here. I first bought WDP in 2014, and I renewed it consistently up until the 365 model started. Since then, I have renewed every year. I’m currently using version 17. I also have P&GD 17.

I’ve been considering renewing my subscription when the first “debugged” update of WDP 18 became available, but in spite of the bugs mentioned on this forum, I see no signs that it will be any time soon. As I see regular posts about XDPro+ updates, I wonder about updates of the other Xara products.

I’ve invested a lot of time in learning how to use Xara’s WDP, but I’m frankly not convinced that the company has any continued interest in it. The new features from one version to the next are so minor that at times I think the renewal is simply paid for continued access to the on-line catalogs.

I’m sorry if it’s inappropriate, but I address this to you because you are the only member of the Xara team who shows some degree of concern and interest in the users of Xara’s products.

Many thanks in advance.
