setapp-top

Developers have realized for some time how difficult it is to get into the Mac App Store application market for Apple computers. Thus, a renowned application development company, has had a revolutionary idea.

Is MacPaw, responsible among others for applications as well known as CleanMyMac. After observing for years not only the advantages of the Mac App Store, but also its problems (limitation of features, removal of Apps due to "irregular" content, ...) and seeing how many developers forget about the market for this reason From laptops, focusing on the familiar iPhones and iPads, these guys have come up with a formula that could work.

It is about what some already call the Netflix app. Through a monthly subscription, you would have access to a wide catalog of high-quality applications that you can use at will. In this way, for only $ 9,99 per month, we would have access to applications that perhaps cost much more.

SetApp is presented as a solution for both parties involved (consumers and developers) acting as an intermediary between them. In this way, the user has the possibility to test and use all the applications that are in the catalog at will (currently the project has about 45, but the goal is to have up to a maximum of 300).

The model of procedure will be by installing a small utility that will allow us to access all the applications that SetApp from a simple Finder folder. Simple and comfortable. The goal is not to host thousands of applications on it. The goal is to offer quality applications that may interest to the end user.

The current CEO of the company, Oleksandr Kosovan, defends the idea offered by your company in the following way:

«This subscription method is what is currently saving the music and film industry with services like Spotify, Apple Music or Netflix, against piracy and disuse. It is a good method for companies to acquire a good image for the consumer, and being in a catalog with the best you can afford that.
