|Description=PsychonautWiki Journal has locked drug tracking behind a premium tier with the exception of only the user's three most-used drugs.
}}In September 2025, the app PsychonautWiki Journal was updated to Version 12.0 on both Android and iOS. This update came with a new restriction on drug & interaction tracking that was provided without warning prior to the update.

==Background==
PsychonaughtWiki Journal<ref>{{Cite web |last=Isaak |first=Hanimann |date=2022-11-29 |title=PsychonautWiki Journal |url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isaakhanimann.journal |url-status=live |access-date=2025-09-05 |website=PsychonautWiki Journal - Apps on Google Play}}</ref> is an application developed by Isaak Hanimann released in 2021. PsychonautWiki Journal is a medication & drug tracking app, designed first and foremost for substance users, but is also usable for tracking of typical prescription medication. It allows users to track their medication use as well as potential drug interactions, including potentially severe negative interactions with psychedelic or perception-altering substances and allows substance users to safely plan tolerance breaks to prevent overuse.

==Version 12.0 Premium tier lockout==
On the 4th of September 2025, Version 12.0 of PsychonautWiki Journal was released on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. This update added [Stub]

In addition to the other features in this release, users who updated the app were met with a prompt to upgrade to Premium, with the restriction that users would continue to be able to track their three most-used drugs for free.

This change was not warned in advance of the update, and users would find themselves logging in to track a substance only to be entirely unable to<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-09-05 |title=Post by erin // Eileen on quiescent.nexus |url=https://fedi.quiescent.nexus/objects/5c6615b0-8e9a-4429-9307-d77cc6855b70 |access-date=2025-09-05 |website=quiescent.nexus}}</ref> because they were not presented with the option to choose what preferred drugs remained trackable, or with a warned grace period.

===Isaak's response===

Upon opening the prompt, the user is met with a message saying; "PsychonautWiki Journal is free for anyone who can't afford it. In that case send a message to isaak.journal@gmail.com". As of yet users have not been met with any negative response.

'''4k Video Downloader+''' is a program created by [https://interpromo.co/ InterPromo GMBH] used to download videos from YouTube and other video sources.
==Consumer impact summary==
Consumers who purchased a lifetime license for "4K Video Downloader" will no longer receive additional software updates<ref name="4KVD">[[:File:4K VD no new features.png|4KVideoDownloader FAQ: No New Features]]</ref> as the application is being phased out in favor of the newer "4K Video Downloader+".

==Company rebranding==
The earlier version "4K Video Downloader" is branded in the "About" menu as "Copyright 2025 Open Media OOO." The latest version "4K Video Downloader+" is branded as "Copyright 2025 InterPromo GMBH". It's not clear at this time if an acquisition was a precursor for the re-release of the program.

==Code review and versioning==
A cursory review of the libraries and files<ref name="4KDL">[[:File:4K DL vs 4K DL Plus Ophaned (New) Files.png|4K DL Update Comparison]]</ref> from both applications shows that "4K Video Downloader+" has only six new files not existing in the prior version. See screenshot. Also, about 27 files were eliminated/not included in the new version.

Despite having been released relatively recently, the "4K Video Downloader+" .exe file shows it is version "25.0.0.182", which may suggest it is a continuation of the prior version.
==Incidents==
This is a list of all consumer protection incidents related to this product. Any incidents not mentioned here can be found in the [[:Category:{{PAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}} category]].

===Discontinuation of lifetime license (''2023'')===
The developer has sold Lifetime Licenses for 4k Video Downloader since 2012,<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.4kdownload.com/products/product-videodownloader|title=4k Video Downloader|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723220906/http://www.4kdownload.com/products/product-videodownloader|archive-date=2012-07-23|url-status=dead}}</ref> but has discontinued it to sell 4k Video Downloader+, starting July 26, 2023. The old license key is not valid for 4k Video Downloader+ because they are "two different programs," according to InterPromo GMBH.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.4kdownload.com/blog/2023/07/26/4k-video-downloader-faq/|title=4K Video Downloader Plus FAQ: Your Questions, Our Answers|date=2023-07-26|author=Klara|access-date=2025-04-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250124025437/https://www.4kdownload.com/blog/2023/07/26/4k-video-downloader-faq/|archive-date=2025-01-24|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Widespread downloading issues (''2025)'' ===
In April 2025, users of both the 4k Video Downloader and 4k Video Downloader+ were experiencing a number of similar issues to one another, with users of the new version stating that the newer version is less user-friendly than before, but can no longer utilize the old version. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://geekermag.com/4k-video-downloader-failed-to-download-videos|title=4K Video Downloader failed to download videos|date=2025-04-26}}</ref>

==Questions regarding the company's explanation for a new version==
According to the company's FAQ,<ref name=":0" /> the reason for the new version is "the outdated technology stack" is simply impossible to fix.

While the company (InterPromo GMBH, the current company name used on the footer of the website) claims that updating the original 4K Video Downloader was "impossible" due to an outdated technology stack, this explanation lacks technical detail and may oversimplify the issue. In software development, very few features are truly impossible to implement—more often, they are deprioritized due to cost, complexity, or strategic business decisions. Without transparency about the specific limitations, it's reasonable to question whether the shift to a new app was driven more by monetization goals than technical necessity.

Additionally, a stack update (libraries, frameworks, etc.) would typically include minor UI/UX changes because of the underlying changes. Based on the visual appearance and menu behaviors of both applications, it's not clear a large-scale rewrite was performed as the applications are visually identical to one another.
