I do mean this generally about your whole site though.

The main reason I make this point, and I want to make it stronger, is that I have to pay to try your app. There is nothing wrong with that, usually I'm pretty accepting of vague product descriptions because I can try it for free (or for a short time) and then pay if it is useful.

But right now I have to pay just to find out exactly what this is...

I actually bought it because the TC post interested me enough to see this as a possible solution to the problem I face. And, of course, I never really begrudge a small cost to give something I understand a shot. But if I had come to your site without the TC explanation I would be to confused to consider paying.

I strongly recommend a plain english explanation of the app somewhere. It really won't hurt you in this case I think :)

(I have more detailed comments & advice that I would be happy to give, drop me a line [email in profile] if you are interested)

Yeah, that makes sense. Have emailed you also!

Replied. I might be barking up the wrong tree, but it never hurts to at least pass it on :)
