Freeway Pro ReviewWish I could like it... - Version: 5.1, 5/8/2008 03:15PM PST

I really have wanted to like Freeway and have tried it multiple times for some serious work, but I just can't use it. It is not native Mac OS X enough nor does it provide sufficient functionality.

The real crown jewel right now for the all around Dreamweaver killer is Flux. I really think that The Escapees have something great in the works with that and really can change the game with what they're doing.

Freeway Pro CommentaryGreat at Any Price - Version: 5.0, 3/27/2008 10:40AM PST

5.0 exceeds my greatest expectations. For mimicking print page layout functionality with unbeatable simplicity of use and meeting all technical web specifications, you can't beat it.

Plus I got a senior citizen's discount for the upgrade too!

NOBODY out there offers such a great product at any price out there and the support is the best I've experienced on the web or anywhere.

Great product, great price, great service..... someone once said that you'll never get price, quality and service at one time and that you'll only get 2 at best. Softpress has demonstrated that you can get all 3 at one time.

Keep up the great work Ian et al.

Freeway Pro Developer NoteUpgrade Policy (reaction to reaction) - Version: 5.0p2, 2/20/2008 12:00AM PST

Ian Schray (Softpress Systems)
Thank you for your comments, epc. Great things come from open, constructive communication and I'm happy to continue this conversation as such.

I'd like to clarify our pricing policy, originally laid out here.

During our beta period (scheduled to end March 27th, 2008), anyone who owns Freeway 4 Pro regardless of purchase date can order the upgrade to Freeway 5 Pro for $69. This places the total cost of Freeway 5 Pro for macZOT! buyers at $168. This is $31 less than a full version of Freeway 5 Pro during this beta period, and $81 less than the regular retail price of $249. Feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive about this.

Of course, anyone who purchased Freeway 4 after January 1, 2008 is entitled to a free upgrade to Freeway 5 when released.

We don't want to call out specifics, but the upgrade policies of most major software companies are nowhere near this generous in our experience. The total cost of the old and the new version is usually far higher than the retail cost of the software, not less.

Again, I appreciate your comments. Softpress customers are great people, and we would never dream of betraying their trust and goodwill. We work every day to make great software and support our users in any way we can. The moment we start misleading them is the day we might as well shut our doors.
