Many developers jumped into the Mac App Store with both feet and are loving it. However, it hasn’t been an easy ride for all developers. Sophia Teutschler of Sophiestication Software makes several apps, including the popular CoverSutra. I must say this has turned kind of ugly and I hope that it gets rectified soon. Federico Viticci did a great job of detailing the drama of the story.
Customers are angry at Sophia because she didn’t respect her promise to offer CoverSutra 3.0 as a free upgrade for everyone who purchased a 2.0 license. She says she simply forgot about the promise, she’s not aiming at making “quick money” out of Mac App Store purchases — she could have branded CoverSutra 2.5 as 3.0, offer it for free to previous customers and sell it in the Mac App Store. But in her words, she didn’t because that would have been a lie.
