![]() Providing feedback that something might be broke, is good regardless. If VDJ want's to ignore the Apple App Store, that is their prerogative, and theirs alone, not you or me. ![]() Case in point: Changelog 7.4.1 November 14 fixed potential crash on startup with MacOS 10.9 Mavericks I'm not arguing that the best thing isn't for anyone to download the software directly from VDJ, only stating that the original poster had a valid question in regards to why the software in the Apple App Store isn't current. At some point VDJ in the Apple App Store will no longer run on the MAC. Just like all other operating systems, MAC updates their software all the time. The bad part is if the VDJ software has issues because it hasn't been updated, users who try it out will be frustrated with the experience and never get to the point of wanting to buy the software. Where's the bad part ? yes VDJ IS marketing VDJ, and possibly not even concerned for poor little Apple Of course VDJ doesn't care about Apple, that wasn't the point. Confusion for users equals bad user experience equals a potential customer not spending money to upgrade to pro or pay the monthly premium membership fee in the future. If Atomix is going to use the Apple App Store, they should keep the version there consistent with what is available on the Atomix website, otherwise they should remove it from the Apple App Store, especially if the software is coming up saying there is an upgrade and no easy way to do that from the Apple App Store. Again, the purpose of the App Store is to have a place to sell software AND to keep it up to date. I've read several negative posts on Apple's App Store, with several users complaining of a POPUP for a newer version but no way to download it. FYI, 7.4 is what Atomix has on it's website as the latest for the Home Edition for MAC, so the Home Edition for MAC in the Apple App Store isn't the most current version available. ![]() Many updates add new controllers and features which don't work in the free version. It could be that the Free version has not needed any updates since 7.0.5. The answer is correct that it is best to download VDJ from the VDJ website and not even use the App Store. As a MAC user, the App Store has been awesome in keeping a lot of software up to date! So the question from the user was valid. It is clear that Atomix is using the App Store for only marketing VirtualDJ and not using the Apple App Store as it is meant to be, which is to help sell software to the entire MAC user base and keep the software up to date! Atomix hasn't updated it in the App Store since August 29th, 2011 and doesn't have the Professional Version available in the App Store, which isn't the intent of the App Store, and indicates that Atomix is using it for Marketing only, which isn't the App Store's purpose. Since the HOME edition in the App Store doesn't have any built in upgrade method to circumvent Apple's 30% take on revenue, I'm assuming it was a special build by Atomix, which hasn't been updated since August 2011. ![]() Why would you ask VDJ ? ask Apple download the latest version from this site right here Can you explain why it's an Apple question? Why would someone ask Apple for which version is in the Apple App Store? It's the developer (Atomix) who puts the software on there, which Apple only approves before releasing but not much more. ![]()
