I have no problem paying for quality software and I have paid for many apps from the OS X App Store but I find it highly misleading when your launch page uses the word "Download" when it really means "Buy". I've seen this tactic used on quite a few OS X/iOS apps posted it HN. No mention of price anywhere on the page and all wording is careful to say "download", "go get", "click here for X app". I don't appreciate being, at the least, kept in the dark and, at the worst, being subject to a dark pattern designed to hook me on the idea of something before showing me the price. Before I look hard into any *aaS, app, etc I look at the pricing so I don't fall in love with something that is unreasonably priced, out of my price range, or just not in line with what my needs are. I don't like having to click through to the iTunes page to see the price because your page was specifically designed to hide it from me.

Does anyone else share this sentiment?

Developer here. I appreciate the feedback and I totally understand. The price has now been added to the launch page.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and for updating your launch page. Even though I normally use Transmit for connecting to S3 I just bought your app. I will probably continue to use Transmit (I haven't fully played with Buckets yet) but I am a strong believer in putting your money where your mouth is and I want to show my support for your decision to update your launch page.

Yup. Same page.
