I have Cocktail for Mavericks... and these guys can't even update their app to include retina UI. I mean it's only been a year and a half... what a bunch of junk for $40.00 though.

I only bought one of these bundle packages before. And the app I wanted, I can't even remember it's been so long, the app I wanted with the bundle got a major upgrade like 3 weeks later, and I ended up paying for that upgrade. I'd have been better of just buying that one app as that's the only one I really wanted.
Watch out, because major updates are soon to follow, and you will not get them, you will be locked into upgrade pricing from then on.

It's simply amazing how they can bundle so many pointless apps together. My hat is off to them.
Better act fast guys!
