Proud for Mac - Break down tasks & boost your productivity

@cbanowsky Have you used Plan? Care to share more?

@cbanowsky $10 seems like a very reasonable price for software.

@sweeneydaniel yes I use Plan everyday. I am notorious for burning through task management apps, but Plan is awesome. Integrates with multiple Google Calendars and let's you organize tasks by category / organization. If you haven't tried it you have to give it a whirl

@cbanowsky @sweeneydaniel OMG THANK YOU. Saw your comment & link here and downloaded, went through the on boarding process and LOVE Plan already. I also wouldn't drop $10 for Proud right this moment unfortunately.

@jonzhan that's a lot for a task app. Especially with all the great free options out there. I pay for software but I would never pay for a task app

@mfc83 Hi Max, you can see a few shots on our release trailer:

@mfc83 Yep. Given how fungible productivity apps are, its a short-sighted money grab to not bake that understanding into the user onboarding process.

@mfc83 I will paste my answer to similar Bruno's question: "Dear Bruno. Thank you for posting your thought on the topic! The decision to price Mac app at $9.99 comes from the market price for apps in this category. I agree there are many "free" apps out there but they: 1) can't offer all the features Proud for Mac has, 2) have subscription plans that makes the cost of the app much higher than $9.99 price. For total $15 ($10+$5) you have a Dropbox sync forever and that's a deal breaker in my opinion. There is no app on the market that offers this particular feature set for such price. Of course the pricing topic is always a difficult thing. I hope our decision won't scare people and I hope they will all be satisfied with the purchase totally. Add to that that updates are free forever and they do not magically appear: I have to sit tons of hours working on them without any additional payment."

@mfc83 Agreed. I might be able to justify the cost if the app at least looked more professional. The icon is pretty horrible; Not even optimized for retina and boring white on black.... The app screenshots do not do much to entice me. The app looks like it's trying to be an iOS app on a Mac.

@piotrszwach Hi Piotr, thanks for your reply. I honestly have no problem with the price, I'd gladly pay $10 for really decent productivity app. I just want to make sure it's the right app for me before purchasing. I used Evernote premium trial and now I'm a happily paying subscriber. I think for a lot of people, a productivity app is such a large part of their life that they need to experience the flow of the app to make the decision to buy it and use it properly. Productivity nerds are very particular :)

@hustlinhack Hello Kyle. Out of curiosity what would be your dream price for the package?

@piotrszwach The price is fine now, I would just like a trial period to see if I would fine the software useful before buying fully.

@hustlinhack Dear Kyle, we might introduce the trial version in a few weeks. Thanks for suggesting that!

@piotrszwach @hustlinhack Good to know for the trial. I have way more chances to buy the app after a trial than without trying it. :)

@piotrszwach @hustlinhack I agree that there should be a trial

@bitfalls Dear Bruno. Thank you for posting your thought on the topic! The decision to price Mac app at $9.99 comes from the market price for apps in this category.

@piotrszwach Tbh, I don't mind paying, at all. But paying twice (thrice, actually, since it's double the price of the original) to get the same thing on two platforms? That's not something I can get behind. You say there's Dropbox sync forever for an extra $5, so there's an extra cost for syncing? It just doesn't feel right, not to an existing customer. $5 for the OS X version and *no* extra cost to sync with Dropbox - doable. But not $15 total, when people already threw down $5 for the mobile app, bringing everything up to $20. If there were a trial period of 2 weeks or a month so people could at least see if it's worth the $20, that would work, but not like this. Sorry if my feedback is a little blunt, I just don't like to dance around the issue - the pricing model is pretty much the only deterrent. Honestly I'd sooner pay $5 per month for an app that proves itself irreplaceable through a trial (like I do with Todoist right now - $2.5/month - and have been for years) than $20 on a gamble.

@bitfalls Dear Bruno. Thank you for your thoughts. No, $10 + $5 is Mac + iOS, no additional payments are required. We might release a 7 day trial version in a few weeks and that should compensate your needs :).

@piotrszwach A 7 day trial would work for many people, I'm sure. Thanks

@dmarcinkowski_ Thanks Daniel :)!!!

@andreasduess Hi Andreas. I'm actively working on providing the update fixes as soon as possible.

@rometty_ Thank you Jack! :)

@kkkosariya Thank you! We're trying to do our best! (:

@syshen Hi Steven. The first tab list is taken from iOS app as we didn't want to flood the Mac tasks inside iOS companion. I now see this was a mistake. Will be fixed in 1.0.1 in a few days.
