Shukofukurou 3.0 Final is now released and available outside the App Store and on the Mac App Store. We are unable to provide upgrades through the Mac App Store since it does not allow an option to provide upgrades.

However, you can download Shukofukurou now on the Mac App Store for $4.99 if you want to support development. Otherwise, there is a free version, which only have Anime support and limited discovery options.

You can download the free non-App Store version here

Tipping on the Mac App Store

You may tip on the Mac App Store version through an in-app purchase. The tip jar is basically a voluntary donation to allow people to support development. If I receive enough regular tips, major releases of Shukofukurou might be free. This option can be accessed on the Application’s menu and choosing the “Leave a Tip” option

Upgrades

If you downloaded MAL Library on March 1, 2018 or later, you can receive a free upgrade. First off, download the non-app store version here. To do this, go to the Application Menu and select “Add Donation Key.” Then click the upgrade button.

You can see if you are eligible for a free upgrade license by clicking Upgrade in the add Donation Key dialog.

If you are eligible, you will see a key. Enter the registration details as shown to register your copy. Otherwise, you have the option to purchase an upgrade donation key for $1.99.

If you are eligible for a free upgrade key, the program will show it and save it on the desktop.

MAL Library End of Life

MAL Library will no longer receive any updates except bug fixes and is pulled from the Mac App Store. I do not plan to transition MAL Library to the new Official MAL API since it will take a lot of work and take time away from transitioning to the new API for Shukofukurou. It will be supported until the end of the year when the official API, which Atarashii-API interfaces is shut down. Therefore, it’s recommended to transition to Shukofukurou for future updates.

Users who downloaded MAL Library on March 1, 2018 may receive a free upgrade through the non-app store version. For others, the upgrade fee is $1.99. The upgrade fee is because there is a lot of work put into Shukofukurou to support other services. Also, it gives me the resources to transition the application to use the official new MAL API later this year.
