Really cool project. I have some comments tho.

I don't quite understand what Connect is. Is it a cloud IDE or is it an add-on to sync your projects across existing clients on Mac or iOS. I think this wording confused me the most on the OSX client: "$9.99 + 6 month subscription* of Texpad Connect". I'd package it as: if you buy OSX client, you get 50% off from Connect for the next 6 months. Or even better, just give 3 month Connect for free with each license.

Also, I don't understand why you'd have to buy Mac and iOS licenses separately. Wouldn't it be nicer to use a single license across all of your devices?

Yes, we are reworking the website for 1.8's release, that is going to be altered. You are correct, it is a discount when bought together.

Connect is for realtime collaboration. You and your collaborators can use Connect from within Texpad so that you have a single document between you.

There is no facility in the iOS App Store for us to sell codes, or for us to find out who has purchased via the iOS App Store, therefore it is an entirely separate product to that which is sold via our website.
