First of all please allow me to explain a little... Thank you for your reply Ashley

I dont get to see my children much and when i do i like to do things that are fun/help me bond with them, hence my passion to resolve this so please excuse my frustration!

Given that c3 is currently the same price as c2 (for a few days) do you think in order to 'keep everyone happy' you could arrange 'cancelling' my purchase of c2 and arrange a 1 yr sub to c3 instead? Based on the fact that this was not very clear upon purchase in my book? Maybe mention this in the c2 sales page in the future?

I wish to have (and be) a positive experience here but also want/need to achieve my goal around my children

Once again, thank you for your reply

Hi NetOne, Many thanks for replying <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

Well I am still left with 'hoping' that the process does not change, and there is no OFFLINE solution..what if https://cocoon.io/home becomes unavailable? I am grateful for your reply and will look further in to this but still feel there should be an offline/built in process given the claims made that lead to me deciding to buy this program!

What if i want to make an apk when these options are no longer available? Dont think i got what i paid for at all at the moment, but until i find an offline solution to build an apk file when ever (and for how ever long) i like i cant see this being anything other than a waste of money (already stretched budget) and seriously effect my wanting to do something fun for my kids <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

GEEEZZZ!!!! Think this is a job for trading standard/false advertising!

£80 to export 3 games!.... Well thats hardly 'value for money' or goes in line with the way it was advertised on the website!... I feel this will escalate!

Hi MPPlantOfficial, Thanks for the reply, but has not really helped with being 'mislead' and does not solve the problem of why i brought this program! For making games my kids can play on their tablets...not to become a games developer...looks like i will be going back to Unity and seriously feel i deserve a refund!

but like i say, thanks for the reply.

Hi, So I brought Construct 2 as I do NOT want a subscription based program! The advertising lead me to believe i can build for android with no extra purchases, yet it seems from what i have found so far, this is not the case! i hope I am wrong!

I dont want Construct 3 / cloud based exporting or anything where i have to rely on a company/website 'lasting the duration' in order for me to publish and APK! why is there simply not and export apk option (or a standalone exporter) for construct 2?

So far, i have not been able to find a 'one click' export option for building an apk and feel this STRONGLY goes against the idea of buying program targeted at beginners, It now looks like i am having to learn Android Studio/coding or subscribe to some kind of web/cloud based service just to use this darn program!...I am BEGINNER remember!!, at least thats what the sales/website lead me to believe...a SIMPLE process/easy all in one solution for multiple platforms. I sincerely hope someone can correct me (Happy to 'eat my hat' and say sorry, my mistake!) but so far its been about finding a way to export an apk outside of Construct 2 rather than being about using it and having FUN!

I simply want to build (locally) apps and let my kids test them on their android tablets but copying the apk to the device!...its just a hobby for me and the kids, so why subscribe to a service just for that when i am making no money off this/its harmless fun!...or meant to be!
