Comment on Sparrow, new Mac mail client out of beta and #1 on Mac App Store

Comments

Their website is very slow responding, so maybe something isn't loaded, but I can't seem to find a trial download. The movie is nice, however for productivity software, unless I can try it for a day or two I'll never purchase.

Apparently a free ad-supported version ("Sparrow Lite") is hung up in the App Store review process but will be available soon.

Why not keep a non-mac-store copy on their website until it goes through?

Because they will still get revenue from impatient people like me who impulse buy it due to the fact that there isn't a non-mac-store copy available. ;)

Point taken. I found myself purchasing a few hours later. Nuts.
