Does Articulate have any plans to make a Mac OS compatible version of Storyline?

Thanks to everyone, and most recently, Keith and Hugh. I agree with Hugh that there is far more complicated software created by companies far less successful than Articulate. I've complained on multiple threads about this very issue, never to any avail. Articulate has dug its heels into the sand, right about where its neck is.

I can't wait for the newest version of a Mac-friendly Captivate or any company that proves it can challenge Articulate with a Mac-friendly product. I'm a little surprised that no one has accomplished it at this late date. So many of us have raised our voices before. They simply don't care.

I'm very tired of doling out money to not only Articulate, but also Parallels and Microsoft, just to run their (admittedly effective but ultra frustrating) software. After my subscription is up I hope to be firmly established at a competitor.

I think we all need to start spamming Articulate with feature requests asking them to build a native Mac version. I submit one every time I have to wait more than 5 minutes for Parallels and Windows to start up (which is frequently).

FYI, this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to add a note that I've been having only mixed success with running Articulate 360 on a 2021 M1 Mac under Parallels/Windows 11 ARM version. It seems very unstable, loses line spacing settings, and crashes frequently. 

Posted about it here: Storyline 360 instability on M1 Mac with Parallels/Windows 11 ARM version - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes

Curious to hear the experience of people working on M1 Macs who have been working extensively, not just doing a few tryouts. 

Thanks,

Just to reiterate all that has been said in this thread. There has been a complete lack of real development and innovation by the dev team here. I understand that its a complicated mess trying to re-engineer the program from scratch, yet every other major professional grade program has a Mac OS native version. Even powerpoint's export times to HEVC have been drastically reduced because of the M1 Pro's media engine built into the SOC. On my Ryzen 3950x it still can take projects 30-40 minutes to render into h264 while on my M1 Pro laptop--which consumes way less power--it only takes 5. There has been a consistent lack of developing the program. Most eLearning professionals utilize the adobe suite to supplement their courses, and the media engine of the M1 is built to make these processes faster. 
Why can't the dev team at least look into making the product faster and utilize the different engines available. Heck, in premier on my windows PC I can at least dictate to utilize the GPU to help the rendering process.

Please create a Mac Native program. Using this on Parallel is difficult and if Im able to I opt out of using SL, because of the extra steps. 

Jumping on the Captivate bandwagon!

I tried Parallels on my MacBook Pro and the experience was not good. It was slow and Storyline was slow when I used it. Additionally, my workplace was having to pay for two pieces of software. I found it was more cost effective in the log run to buy a Windows machine to run Storyline. I don't like Windows OS, but I can tolerate it while I use Storyline. I think Articulate would have more designers use the product if they developed a native Mac OS version.

Sometimes I remote into my PC from my Mac using Microsoft Remote Desktop...

Why waste your money on overpriced Machines and limited software on a Mac just so Apple can finish building their flying saucer to Mars in Cupertino? Try Bob for NT.
