\nTOKYO (MacHouse) – Because of their terribly poor support for developers, we have pulled all our software products from versiontracker<\/strong>. MacHouse software products are still listed at MacUpdate<\/a> and some at Apple<\/a>.   <\/p>\n

How poor? The following is a list of problems that we had with versiontracker
\n
<\/br>
\n
<\/br><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Almost non-existent developer support – Don’t waste your time trying to contact them because they won’t answer your questions.<\/li>\n
  2. High submission failure rate – after some change at versiontracker in July, your software submission faces a 30 to 50% chance of disappearance, meaning… Do it all over again if you don’t see your product in the list. That means you cannot trust what versiontracker does and have to make a frequent visit to see if your product has been listed after submission<\/li>\n
  3. Sever errors – Be prepared to see ‘proxy error’ or ‘internal error’ while you submit your software product. We’ve seen it many times.<\/li>\n
  4. Action against hate reviews? – versiontracker does not always take down hate reviews posted by extortionists like Born Yesterday<\/strong> (also known as MACTECHHEAD<\/strong> at MacUpdate) who give a 1 start or 2 for retaliation when they don’t get what they want. versiontracker may take down hate reviews, but they often fail to remove bad stars.<\/li>\n
  5. Confusing campaign – versiontracker made some change in July. After submitting a software product, software developers now land at a confusing page which looks as if they had no choice but to pay a subscription fee on the monthly or annual basis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
