I actually don't mind paying for apps, and had paid for several already (transmission on my old nas, sabnzbd/couchpotato/etc on new r6).
I tried looking for transmission to pay for in Genie but they make it incredibly difficult. For example, when I go to the Apps section in R6, it does not list Transmission at all. Despite there actually being an avialable package for it.
Secondly, their website is awful. You have to traverse a very slow, buggy website to get to the very last page which lists r6 apps and even then it did not show Transmission as available.
I'm glad the 'loophole' exists because it enabled me to install an app I used heavily on my previous device, and of course will make a donation later today because I have no problems paying for an app I use so much. You are being let down quite badly by Netgear and their shoddy genie service though. They need to actually put some effort into it and make it actually usable.
Thanks for all your efforts with the apps though. It is appreciated, and your work make the devices so much more than simple NAS.
TOTALLY AGREE with you !
Genie is a joke!
