I think the price is reasonable for what is offered. I am waiting for them to do final documentation translation to English for the Mobile version and will then definitely buy it.

Interesting, but I distrust from who doesn't consider the bugs it departs some software.

There is not the word "bug" in their site.
At the end I make the end that I have done with VFP:
- 20% of the time use to my development plan
- 60% of the time use to found bug workarounds
- 5% of the time use to send to the MS 5% of the bugs that I found
- 10% of the time use to look for a product where who develops it
it knows the word "bug".
