IDFusion Software, the company behind Bodega, today announced the first public release of Bodega, an application store for Mac applications. Bodega is a free download, for both users and developers, and creates a simple process for people to discover great, new and old, software, while also giving the developers an alternative way to sell their applications.
The Bodega storefront also gives users links to press articles and blog postings, so they can see what writers have to say about the app. Bodega lets users purchase directly from developers as well. If the application is a paid app, you can download a free trial for most applications. If you are a developer, and would like to be included in the Bodega Store, IDFusion Software has setup a developer area with all the information needed. Currently, there are over 160 applications in the store now.
Bodega also uses the same ratings and reviews principal that the iTunes App Store uses, making it a more interactive feel. Bodega also serves are your license manager — users can save their receipts in the application, making reinstallation a hassle-free process.
