InstaBuilder Gone?

Well first off I was so 'fired up' and anxious for the OP 2.0 release that perhaps my expectations were based on the ease of use the original software offered regarding squeeze pages, as that was why I bought the original Optimize Press theme. And it was pretty straight forward and easy to use.

The bugs I experienced in the membership plugin (which may have been determined a theme issue) were many freezes, loss of design (after hours spent laying everything out) and complete blocks that would not open or allow me to save my progress.

Mind you, I am no pro web designer, but all the hype was based on flexibility, ease of use, cost efficient, etc... I was sold on the belief it was 'better' than the original version ( which simply put kicked ass). In my opinion/experience 2.0 sucked compared to the original and upon release had way to many problems that should've been resolved beforehand... Not after loyal customers purchased with high hopes.

Again, I had an opportunity to make some money offline, and that purchase influenced my decision greatly... So they may have fixed alot of the problems.

If you use the search function here, and look at all the initial problems people were having, you may be better able to determine what has been fixed and see what was said upon its initial release by many warriors.

Id just make sure current users are satisfied, and me for one thought paying 3x as much for the 2.0 version was nothing short of a product being released (at that time) that really was not ready to be released in its original state.
Also, not sure if there are any warriors offering 'instant rebates' anymore, but the fact I saved $83 was the only reason I even kept the product.

I suggest reading a few of the older threads and determine if it's been corrected...if not I wouldnt buy it. No offense to James and his success with the original Optimize Press.

I bought Instabuilder 1.0 the day it launched back in 2012 and it was last updated just a couple of months ago. Instabuilder 2.0 is a much different animal altogether, and I can understand why they just recently launched it as a new product. I wish they would not have discontinued future updates to 1.0.

Some companies and vendors will close a product after a huge initial launch so that they can keep up with questions, support requests, bugs with certain installations, requested upgrades etc. I don't fault them for that if that is what they are doing.

That said, I did not buy 2.0 because I did not like the upgrade price plus the OTO upgrade costs when compared to Profit Builder, as I had already purchased Profit Builder. It's a good upgrade from Instabuilder 1.0, and it was released prior to Instabuilder 2.0, so I didn't not really *need* both systems.

IMO Profit Builder is a decent alternative to Instabuilder 2.0, at a reasonable price, and you can purchase it now with no monthly fees. I think at launch I may have received "lifetime" updates for free, but might want to check with them to see how long they will provide free updates. FWIW, they do have a 60 day money back guarantee available.

Instabuilder was supposed to be back by the end of January.

If you are in the market for a good one go with the industry standard OptimizePress. One that blew me away was Thrive Content Builder if you ask me that was the Best Product of the Year for 2014.

If you are really on a budget shoot for Profits Theme that way you can create a membership site as well.

Why do product creators shut down their whole product line for months at a time? I still haven't figured that one out lolol, just look on it as being an advantage if you are a competitor because it seems to be a trend in international business.
