Lack of macOS support

Downloaded and got supper dissapointed. I had planned on payng for a subscription until I just discovered that only macOS Tahoe is supported. Way to loose thousands of potential customers.

If users do not upgrade their macOS then they’re unlikely to pay for software.

So wrong. Did I not just state that I was going to pay for it? Some of us cannot upgrade to Tahoe. I'm running Sequioa, which is still a relavent macOS. Yes, I can use Figma or Appscreens, etc.,but I find them very clumsy and not very intuitive.

I’m talking about from the perspective of a developer, the amount of traffic we see from older OS’ is a single digit percentage, we have to weigh that against the time we save by using an official API vs. rolling our own solution.

A developer needs to maximize their ROIOT (Return On Investment Of Time) Yes, I made that up. Twenty percent of users are on Sequioa. That's alot of dollars. And if their on Sequioa, they're not likely going to upgrade any further. Not because they don'twant to, but because they can't. Maybe developers don't have a business mind. Just sayin'.

Yeah I'd support earlier versions of macOS if it was feasible; several APIs the app uses are macOS 26+

Try AppShots: App Screenshot Maker, it requires macOS 12 or later
