I may be behind the curve on this, but please release a version of Storyline 360 to Mac...
I'm trialling this and Captivate at the moment. Although Captivate is harder to use, it's winning for 2 main reasons:
a. Cost - it's a 3rd of the cost....
b. It's Mac friendly; so far to trail Articulate i'm also having to trial Parallels in order to run it. If I go with Articulate I will have to pay an additional £200 for this and Windows. This is ridiculous.
I also have a Mac and Articulate is indeed a great product.
I would also love to run it natively on my Mac someday. But for now, the workaround for it to run on Mac is by installing it on a virtual environment as provided on this link:
We don't have a native Mac version of Storyline. However, we have many customers (and staff) who use Storyline on Mac with a virtual environment, such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. There are some demo videos to see how to get started with this setup, and we're also here to answer any questions!
I'm guessing this is not an issue for the end user, who might be accessing the completed course (that would include Rise and Storyline sections)? OR would this be a snag for anyone who is going through a designed course and is using their Mac?

Hello Pete,

So the only way to use this application on a Mac is with a virtual windows machine?
