Thanks for the heads up, you seem to have missed however that the price we currently ask is indeed a reduced one as long as the program is in preview. Also, in our view (this may differ from that of others) a public preview comes before a beta version that comes before a 1.0 release. So in that way, yes we could have called it an alpha version as well. We make it very clear that it still requires a lot of work. And thusfar it has a trial period, but we have reset it in the new preview as another positive action. We are however very grateful to those who already registered and supported our efforts to bring another cool and unique app to the mac.
