It’s Yoink for Mac’s 12-year anniversary! (Sale!)

Today, in 2011, I released Yoink v1.0 to the public, and it looked like this:

I know, right? Its icon looked a bit different, too:

Anyway, long story short, I’m having a sale over this weekend on the App Stores, where you can purchase Yoink for Mac and Yoink for iPad and iPhone at a discount.

Yoink for Mac on the Mac App Store
_{USD 8.99 / GBP 8.99 / EUR 9,99} -> USD 4.99 / GBP 4.99 / EUR 5,99

Yoink for iPad and iPhone on the iOS App Store
_{USD 4.99 / GBP 4.99 / EUR 6,99} -> USD 3.99 / GBP 3.99 / EUR 3,99

Enjoy 😊

On Transloader for Mac costing money

This dev right here Officer
by <redacted>
iOS | Version 3.1.4 | Australia
Makes this app free but then has the cast iron stones to charge $20 for the Mac version,
rendering this app useless - <redacted>. I would have paid if it
were upfront about it but I'm so sick of these draw-string scum sacks deliberately
misleading in attempts to manipulate people.

Developer Response
Hi <redacted>,
Thank you for your feedback on Transloader.
About being misleading and not being upfront:
In the iOS version's App description, I write: "Requirements: The Mac app, available for
purchase on the Mac App Store". I also inform users that there's a free trial for the Mac
version available on my website. I think I am being upfront about this.
About the Mac app costing money, iOS being free:
don't want anyone to waste their money on an app they can't use because they don't
have a Mac, so, because the main part of Transloader is a Mac app (the one downloading
stuff), it's the one charge for.
The iOS app is free, because l can not know if a user downloading the iOS app actually
has a Mac. To avoid having users purchase the iOS app, only to find they need a Mac on
the other side they might not have, I charge for the Mac app instead, and the iOS app is
free. So if they get the iOS app (for free), and then notice they need a Mac (they don't
have), they didn't lose any money. If they do have Mac, they are free to purchase the
Mac
app,
or not.
I take it you didn't purchase the Mac app, either, so you didn't lose any money there. The
system works.
I think it's the right way to do this.
With kind regards,
Matthias, the draw-string scum sack, deliberately protecting people from making
useless purchases. — ^{Leaving this here so there’s no confusion about my intentions regarding Transloader for iOS being free, and Transloader for Mac being a paid app.}

Calling all heavy-duty ScreenFloat users!

One of these days, I’d like to put some of the still-in-development ScreenFloat 2’s features through its paces (for instance, and most importantly, the migration of a ScreenFloat 1 library into the new format).

So I’m starting to put together a list of heavy-duty ScreenFloat users now, so that, once I’m ready, I can send out TestFlight invitations and get some feedback and insights right away.

If you consider yourself a heavy-duty ScreenFloat user, and/or have a large-ish library of shots and collections in ScreenFloat 1, please do reach out, I’d appreciate your help.

It’s still going to be a little while as I think about what I want to test exactly, and how, but I’ll be in touch nonetheless, you can be sure of that.

Thank you!
