Our Business Principles

We Do What We Say

  • We make high-end applications.
  • We listen to customer feedback and suggestions; we implement what makes sense and is true to our vision for our apps.
  • We communicate many of our plans and intentions; for development and competitive reasons, we don’t communicate all of them.
  • We don’t communicate release dates as unforeseen problems may cause delays.
  • We do promotions; we don’t announce them unless that is part of the promotion concept; we don’t extend them unless there is a significant error that is our fault (see Fairness).

We Treat All People Equal

  • We try to treat all people fair and equal, whether they are our customers or not.
  • Our prices are reasonably calculated and not open to individual negotiations; we give discounts to students, educators, and many NPOs.
  • We reply to every direct inquiry; we don’t necessarily reply to every message in our user community. We never close issues by ignoring them.
  • We don’t moderate skeptical comments in the community unless they’re insulting, morally questionable, or illegal.

We Always Offer Options

  • We charge for our software but we offer multiple editions for every budget.
  • We offer free trial versions of our software and a two week refund policy.
  • We charge only the price difference for upgrades from one edition to the others. We charge reasonably for upgrades and updates.
  • We don’t ask for handling fees.
  • We have long grace periods but we don’t extend them individually unless there is a significant error that is our fault (see Fairness).

We Sell Apps, not Your Data

  • We store customer information solely for providing support, e.g for resending license codes, or for granting free or price-reduced upgrades.
  • We never share this information with anyone outside of the company, neither for money nor for other reasons.
  • We use a locally installed copy of Matomo to get some insight into our website traffic but encourage you to block it using Ghostery or similar extensions if you are uneasy with this. Our Matomo installation stores your IP address anonymized and honors DoNotTrack. It does not provide any data to third parties.
  • We receive anonymized data for providing sync push notifications.
  • We receive anonymized app usage data from some of our apps and from the the App Store. You can disable this at any time in the app settings for our own analytics and in the system settings for the App Store. Check our Privacy Policy for more about what data we receive.
