- For 6 years (according to these comments) folks have been asking for a native to Mac version. Running Articulate through Windows via Parallels on a Mac is just inefficient and expensive. Will a new Mac compatible version come soon?
- Basically, its just nuts there isn't a native Mac version of Articulate. Come one folks at Articulate, get out of your Windows stone age cave and give professional designers what they need!
- If you get this question a lot then why not just build a product that also works on Macs?
- As large as this company is as and as many customers as they serve, it's frustrating that they do not have a native A360 app for Mac. This would seem like a no-brainer rather than having customers jump through hoops if they prefer MacOS.
- Alrighty I am adding my two cents. Please please please add a MAC version. Running parallel does not serve you or us.
- OK, so here i am about 4-5 years later, and i now use parallels for other things and it runs very well. At the same time captivate has become subscription and is super expensive. so now i am thinking about buying articulate storyline and trying it on my mac. Are there any limitations to use of the academic version eg could i sell my modules? what about all the assets? Do those come with the academic version?
- totally agree with Kim Eales. Subscription 360 is not feasible for what I am doing, but SL3 works with Parallels. Just wish you had a Mac version. Way more secure than Windows.
- This post has been going on for 7 years now with a lot of people begging for an OS version of Storyline. Using Parallels or VM Fusion or any other third party software to run your program is not a solution, it's a workaround. And it's a lazy response telling me that you really have no intention of developing a real solution for an operating system used by a huge portion of your target market. Please, please, please stop being lazy and just develop Storyline for Mac.
- I suspect the issue is not laziness, but qualified programmers to develop it and maintain it and perhaps some other issues as well - like then people may not subscribe to the 360 online. It is truly a disappointment and I think in the long run a real income loss for Articulate as SL is still one of the best, if not the best, software of it's kind in the field.
- I disagree regarding the 360 guess. Why would that matter in a Mac universe any more than it does for PCs?
Everything I heard from Articulate pointed to a reluctance to program on the Mac side. Articulate was originally built from PowerPoint templates, and I think there is a certain terror on Articulate's staff over converting that to a Mac system. Not sure why; Microsoft was able to adapt Office pretty easily into a Mac solution.
Articulate knows very well by now that there is a huge Mac population ready for a version for us, one that doesn't require another $1000 in software to adapt it to a Mac. They're betting we're stuck with it, and they're right for now. There WILL be a Mac-based solution someday soon that rivals or hopefully exceeds 360, and that's when Articulate will regret not catering to us.
- Hi All,
Articulate doesn't appear poised to make a Mac version.
- How well does it work now in 2022 (Articulate 360 and Parallels) together?
- On an enterprise network with all of the security stuff, is running Windows on a dual boot Mac cumbersome?
- How is the speed, functionality, and user experience with Parallels or VMware Fusion with Rise and Storyline?
- How is the support from Articulate on a Windows virtualized environment on Mac today?
Would prefer Articulate, but Captivate does much of what Articulate does for our org and happy to go that route if needed as we are going to purchase one or the other.
Thank you!
David
