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.}

Transloader v3.1.1 is now available for Mac, iPad and iPhone

Transloader – an app that lets you start downloads on your Macs, remotely from your iPhones, iPads, and other Macs – is now available in version 3.1.1 for both macOS and iOS.

v3.1.1 is a maintenance update which includes minor improvements and fixes.
– Now remembers previously selected Macs in Transloader and its Share extension
– The “local” Mac is now included in the Add Download dialogs
– Improved imagery for Macs and iOS devices
– Improved behavior of Transloader’s popover (when used as a menu bar app)
– Improved positioning of Transloader’s popover if the menu bar item is currently being truncated by macOS

– Fixes a bug where sometimes clearing all data from Transloader’s iCloud would fail
– Fixes a bug where copying preferences over from another Mac would confuse Transloader into thinking it is that other Mac
– Reduces the frequency of the appearance of rating requests from 6 to 9 months (if there’s been an update in between)
