Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

Perhaps six months ago I wrote them about the same issues below. I was sent an attachment with the latest version (note the last bullet) and a promise to fix the site; but they still have not addressed these issues. To see what I mean, take a look the product page, then note the following:
  • The gray version at the left says 2.3.2.
  • The current version at the right says 2.3.4
  • The download you get with the top link is filename 232, but a Get Info says 2.3.1
  • The download you get with the bottom link is filename 233 -- it expands to 244 -- and its version number is 2.3.1
  • An “About” of the one I already have says 2.3.1 (2.4.3) -- whatever THAT is supposed to mean
  • Dragging the result of the bottom button's download over the one they sent me says mine is newer, yet mine is six months old
Fortunately their software seems to work. Had I known about this numbering fiasco I would never have purchased it. How can developer who has such shoddy version control make reliable software???
