Why such poor Mac support in 2025?

It’s been over 3 years, and Revoscan for Mac STILL has some very serious shortcomings:

  1. There is no native nor universal version for Apple Silicon!! Apple has been shipping Macs with Apple Silicon (ARM-based CPUs) for almost FIVE YEARS now, and completely transitioned off of Intel TWO YEARS ago, yet Revopoint hasn’t bothered to compile their code for Apple Silicon when virtually every other company did so many YEARS AGO, and instead runs in EMULATION under Rosetta 2. This is INEXCUSABLE. Revo Scan is exactly the type of CPU-intensive software that needs this the most. Why is that???

  2. Installing Revo Scan for Mac is very troublesome and literally requires BYPASSING Apple’s GateKeeper security!! This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE for any commercial application! This problem has existed for over 3 years now, yet Revopoint hasn’t bothered to obtain and use a Developer ID & code-signing certificate from Apple!! Total amateur stuff, unless their goal is to spread malware. This is VERY BASIC for any commercial software for over 10 years now. Why is this still the case in 2025???

  3. Why no support for Apple GPUs? I have 76 GPU cores in my Mac Studio M2 Ultra that are not being taken full advantage of. All modern Macs with Apple Silicon have standardized GPUs, so supporting them should be easier than it is on Windows, yet Revopoint hasn’t bothered to do so. Sad.

  4. Please provide your Mac software as a .dmg file! This is the preferred format used by virtually all software providers these days. (It’s OK to also provide it as a .pkg file, if you really want to.)
