Yesterday we released the MacGameStore app and so far it has gotten some glowing reviews by some of our users. We thought we'd share some of those:
"Are you sure you guys don't work for Apple? Your app is really well done. Very professional!" — A.F.

"You guys out did yourself. This is way more than I had expect. Really nice design and the app works beautifully. Nice job!" — F.A.

"Beautiful interface, functioning perfectly, WAY better than steam right now, I'll even say better interface than Apple Mac App Store right now (with the requirement check and easy to post reviews)." — T.

"I use Steam, but your app interface is great! The system requirements function is ultra-perfection galore! Very useful!" — M.H.

"I just wanted to say that your Computer Requirement Checker is outstanding! I have 4 different Mac computers and 1 PC. I keep the PC for my son because I could never figure out what games work with the Mac's. This is perfect! I might be able to get rid of the PC. Great Job Mac Game Store!" — C.B.
We have many more features planned. Stay tuned!
