Jens W. Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Could you please provide your Mac apps in your own store? Benefits: - You can manage special prices for custumors when a major upgrade arrives. This isn´t possilbe in the MacAppStore. - You save money. No 30% for Apple. - Customers can buy multi platform licences. - You can distribute updates faster. No Apple review.

VIPStephan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Yeah, I despise the App Store, too, and avoid it whenever I can as there also are privacy concerns (how is it Apple’s business what applications I have purchased?). I think it was one of my first, if not the first, questions here on this forum whether I could buy AD without the App Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunzenstein Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I prefer the App store exactly for the arguments raised. Software here is free of spam and trojans. Try downloading a freeware or app and you get offers from Viagra to Nigerian bank frauds in bulk within a second.

Jens W. Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 I don´t think, that Serif will sell Viagra :D As a long Apple user, I know the spontaneously mind changing from them. When they decide to change the conditions of the MAS or something other gorgeous, awesome, fantastic, amazing thing, we are all lost. In this case - I don´t trust Apple.

It is sufficient that you log into a free WLAN in Italy one time to get from the day on spam you never get rid of - without downloading anything. Happened to me. Download a software from a small company is often highly dangerous as the protection ability of user date on their (mostly outsourced servers) is often broken - to protect user data is not even within the means of the big sharks - let alone small shops. So - better stay with a despised but empirical relativ save means of shopping.

Jens W. Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 The question to the Affinity employee/manger: Are there any plans to sell AD/AP for Mac in your own store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
