Does Articulate have any plans to make a Mac OS compatible version of Storyline?
Or any other products?
I recently switched to a Mac with Parallels and it is working out perfectly for the most part. It's a learning curve using Windows through a Mac and some minor issues using shortcuts but overall I've been pretty satisfied.
Hi Ryan could you please explain your experience using Articulate 360 in MacBook. I mean minor isuues and all as i am plannig to switch on mac and i am mainly working on Articulate storyline 360. It will be easy to identify those issues.
Kiran, It has been very good overall. I hate that my company has to pay for a subscription, but that's the best we can do without a Mac version of Articulate. The biggest issues I have has to do with pixel size. When you are extending your screen to another monitor, it's very hard to manage the aspect ratio (you have to play around with the display settings a lot) and the size of the app itself. I stopped using my laptop screen because of it and strictly use a second very large monitor.
Another issue is the keyboard shortcuts are different on PCs, and many of them do not work in Storyline using a Mac in Parallels.
The other issue I was having was that Storyline would save an instance of a project every time I would save it (in a location very hard to find in the Windows folder structure), which was crushing my hard drive and filling up my entire 1 TB space. I found it in a "Storyline Cache" folder, but still have to continually delete these instances.
Ryan,
This is interesting becuuse my experience with VW has been terrible - everything takes forever to open/load, screen recording crashes like every single time, some commands are missing, like I can't delete things (I usually use the cut command). Definitely not my smartest investment.
Nikoleta,
Yes, I've had my share of issues, but since I only use Parallels for Storyline, it's bearable.
