A few beginner questions

[BrotherWhite]

I have been using MLO for quite a while ,but I am still curious about the following things:

1、Is the developer (to be precise ,I mean coder here ) a man called Andrey Tkachuk or it is a team ?

2、I can't find any background information about the product and its developer ,is there anyone glad to write some introduction about MLO?Many thanks.

2、Why MLO don't sell products for free and package their developing cost and cloud fee in a premium like Wunderlist and Todoist ? It is not convenient for a new user who wants to start a journey with MLO for he has to pay for desktop product ,mobile product and cloud fee separately 

3、Why MLO don't have background refreshment and Today Widget on iOS while Android seems have ?

4、(This is not a question but a suggestion ) In my personal view ,MLO is like a powerful tool in 21 century with a interface comes from 1980s .It may seems a harsh comment ,but I do think MLO should redesign its UI.

This is a new user comes from China,mainland where MLO is not so wide spread (By the way,Omnifocus is also not popular in China,mainland ,but it is more well-known compared to MLO.).

At last ,I am truly sorry if any word discomfort you,

Hi ,thanks for your help!The article helps a lot ! I used to wondering why such an powerful tool is not widespread ,it seems because it is just a new app isn't it ? Thanks for your help again!

I can't address much, but here are a couple of points.

Your second #3 (Pricing) - not everyone uses the cloud, so it would not help the developers if people (like myself) got to use the product for free.  Personally, I love the tool (I don't have any issue with the interface) and don't mind paying for a good product.  I've used it for years and advocate it for everyone I work with.
