I can only say that you must be very difficult to please if you buy something as outrageously extensive as a $40 shirt! LOL! If you really need to $4 I'm sure we can get enough donations from satisfied users to cover that... maybe just a quarter from the 30 folks who have four and five star ratings of the app at the Mac App Store? Honestly, John, I don't think you have any concept of what this app does and how it has to be supported by any app that uses it. Some of those app's developers have updated their code, some have not, some have stopped support, some don't seem to care. The developers of Growl actually demonstrated to Apple what eventually became the Notification Center, in my humble opinion. So far Apple's copy still does not provide the same capabilities. YMMV. So, first, I would suggest you learn what the app is supposed to do, then learn about the computer and its utilities (Activity Monitor, Console, Disk Utility, even Grab!) that you have already paid for. If you don't use them, you'll probably never be able to trouble-shoot anything nor help explain to the developers (of any app) what is happening. While you don't have to be able to build your own car, it certainly helps if you can tell the mechanics what the symptoms are, when they occur and how long. Usually, "It doesn't work right" can get you an extremely expensive "fix." While you may find the developer's comments "dismissive," I find them extremely patient. Just for grins, you might try developing something as complicated as an app that requires support from not only the company that builds the computer but also from any app that works with the app. Talk about 'design by committee!' WOW! And some of them won't even talk to you about changes they are considering and new functions that will completely break your app! Believe me, the developers of Growl can't afford to Fedex your $4 to you, they are not getting rich! Lastly, if you want a refund, you'll have to talk to Apple, they are the ones who setup the Mac App Store and force all developers to follow their rules, whether they are good for the customer or not. Frankly, I avoid the MAS whenever possible. I'd much rather the developer get 100% of the price than only 70. But that's just me. Hope you have better days! Maybe someone will offer to buy you a cup of what goes for "coffee" at Fivebucks! Oh! Wait! They changed their name to Starbucks when the price went up, again!
