Confusing support and documentation.

Moved Feedback
  • I’ll start by saying I’m not an expert user, and the project itself is truly impressive. However, even after purchasing the premium services for a few dollars, you’re pretty much left to fend for yourself. You get a response (just one, with no chance for follow-up) once every two or three days on Skype, and it's a vague answer that doesn’t really help someone like me. It’s unfortunate because the project has great potential, but it’s impossible to work this way. I’ve dedicated myself day and night for 15 days, and I’ve made some good progress, but, again, a bit of help is necessary.

  • this is how anything coding goes, you need spend longer than 15 days just like everyone else. nothing arrives free.

  • This thread might be dead, but I share your frustration. I've been learning mostly on my own as well—with persistence and some help from ChatGPT—due to inadequate English documentation.

    I've found the Russian Bablosoft wiki (https://wiki.bablosoft.com/doku.php?id=ru:start) offers far more detailed tutorials compared to the outdated and shallow English version (https://wiki.bablosoft.com/doku.php). If you don't understand Russian (like me), tools like Google Translate or YouTube’s auto-translate can help, though the quality varies.

    IMO if the devs invested in English translators and up-to-date tutorials, it would significantly benefit our community and our understanding of the software, while also attracting more American users. With that said, it does seem they need to work on their wiki page in general as I have found a lot of pages with nothing or very little in them.

  • @Megadarren88-0 You're absolutely right; they likely don't care much about retaining customers. I'm paying for a premium BAS and a premium fingerprint service, but if I can't resolve my issues, I may have to abandon the project. They could introduce paid support, but perhaps they're not interested. Well, we'll see how it goes.

  • Premium support is an excellent idea. It would give paying customers the prioritized assistance they deserve while incentivizing non-paying users to upgrade. This approach not only boosts company revenue but also benefits the community by keeping valuable support discussions available on this community page, seems like a win/win. Lets hope they implement it

    And If you ever get stuck and would like a fresh perspective on your project or extra help, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to assist however I can
