1Password 8 for Mac is here - but still not a macOS application

Hey folks,

Thanks for the thoughtful and considered responses here - they're genuinely appreciated. We of course want to be held to a high standard on every platform and will continue to work to exceed your expectations.

A few thoughts, at this point in the conversation:

• Scroll: we have a feature request open for this with our developers. If you'd like to cast a vote for it, let me know and I'll be happy to get that done on your behalf.
• Item counts in the sidebar: likewise, we have a feature request open for this too, and invite votes here as well.

While I can't promise that any particular feature will make it to a future update of 1Password, we on the customer support team do our best to convey your observations and sentiments internally in a way that's likely to result in an improved app experience. And we'll keep doing that! Moving on...

• search: this is an active area of improvement for us, which folks who have spent some time in the Desktop Betas forum will be familiar with. I don't have anything new to share on this yet, but we are considering the needs of multiple groups of users and working to provide the best experience possible. We get that search is really important.

My other disappointment is that some user complaints how 1Password 8 doesn't feel right are redirected, told by AgileBits: "This is the best version of 1Password yet!". That's true, though disrespectful of the specific criticisms.

We certainly don't intend any disrespect, and do consider the criticisms carefully (and often discuss them internally, at length). When we say things like "This is the best version of 1Password yet", it's because 1) we believe it! and 2) we are trying to keep perspective on the overall state of things, while still leaving the door open to continual feedback and critique. We want to keep things positive, constructive, and in perspective. But that in no way involves minimizing your concerns, and if you feel that's happening I hope you'll let us know.

I hope it's evident too, from the Beta development process, that we're taking your feedback seriously and continually working to out-do ourselves and improve our processes along the way. We'll keep paying attention to what you have to say!
