I’m sorry that I never mentioned that it was for my MacMini running MacOS 26.
What advertising? I don’t see any advertising at all. The one star reviews seem to be because people thought they had to pay.
Fair enough. That isn’t mentioned (that I can see) on the App Store page, but it is in https://support.apple.com/en-us/125029
I have not had time to evaluate 15.1 yet. I was only attempting to explain why I wanted access to 14.5 based on the reviews of others.
It is not advertising but I would prefer the Template Chooser to have an option to “Hide Premium content”. As it is, the free ones are mixed in with the premium ones, which are distinguished by a symbol in the top right. Have sent a Feedback Request on this.
OTOH when I use Template Chooser I go straight to Recents. It is very rare for me to be browsing for a new template.
Mac most.com has an excellent 10min video explanation of all the versions.
