A tech consultant using Billings

February 18, 2011 on 12:33 pm | Ryan

Our latest Billings case study comes from The Mac Jedi; a consultant specializing in tech support for Apple products that started his business back in 1995.

Rob uses Billings on his Mac and iPhone – you can read his full story here.

As always, if you’re interested in participating in a case study (for any of our products), send me an email.

Billings is the Top Paid Business App

January 7, 2011 on 2:36 pm | Ryan

The Mac App Store is doing well. Apple has reported over one million app downloads during its first day.

Billings has done quite well too, holding the Top Paid position in the Business Apps category of the Mac App Store.

Along with the success of the Mac App Store came a myriad of questions for developers.

To start things off, there are no feature differences between the version of Billings that ships in the Mac App Store, and the one currently available on our website. Billings 3.7 was released exclusively for the Mac App Store.

Realmac Software covered two of the more frequent questions in a blog post earlier today.

Since they communicated these things well, here are the answers (company name changed to Marketcircle in the second question):

The App Store shows an app as already “Installed”
The “Installed” button appears because the Mac App store is identifying applications that have the same internal application identifier on both the Mac App Store and from the developer’s own store. As such, it’s more a bug on Apple’s side than a confirmation that you can update your copy of the apps from within the App Store. You can only update applications purchased via the Mac App Store using the Mac App Store.

Can I easily move my Marketcircle-bought copy of an app to the Mac App Store?
Unfortunately not. The App Store has no way to migrate existing users to the Mac App Store purchase history (and uses an entirely different, Apple-specific, way of securing purchases).

Macworld also wrote a great article entitled “The Mac App Store: What you need to know“.

If you’ve downloaded a trial of Billings and wish to purchase it from the Mac App Store, please follow these steps.

Since Billings can be purchased 3 different ways. We’ve written an article that outlines the differences.

Here’s to the Crazy Ones…

May 13, 2010 on 9:57 am | Ryan

Thought I’d share this great Apple commercial from the late ’90s that I came across today.

Some truly inspirational words.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
