To all our amazing supporters,

We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has purchased the Cicare and provided invaluable feedback. It has come to our attention that the initial selling price may have been a bit high for the current features we offer. With that in mind, we've decided to lower the price to make it more accessible for everyone.

However, this decision does come with some trade-offs. Unfortunately, we will need to postpone the development of the tablet integration, including Navigraph support and other planned features.

We hope you understand our need to adjust our priorities as we move forward.

If you've already made your purchase, please rest assured that you should have received an email regarding a partial refund.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
FastCow Simulations
