Run Blocs 2 and 3 Side by side
To run both apps side by side, just rename Blocs 2 to Blocs-2, so they don’t overwrite each other in your applications folder.
Old versions of Blocs 2
If you need access to the older versions of Blocs 2, you can find those here.
Awesome, I thought there was a black friday price? Plus a discount for upgrading. Do we only get 1 discount which anybody can get by buying through the site? I would think Ver 2 users would be treated better
So now I’m up $150.00 USd / $200.00 Cad for a software I purchased 8 months ago and never used because it simply didn’t meet my expectations as per advertised nor was it designer friendly. I’m seriously hoping Blocs 3 will meet my expectations including does advertised so far.
Updated! A great job, very polished and as well says @mikeymouse22 listening to the demands that we had the whole community. The truth is that today, the great difference is marked by listening to the real and tangible needs of users. Congratulations @Norm now that we are going to be able to show off in our future projects.
Congratulations Cazoobi Team!
PS: I think there is some flaw in the icon’s name, perhaps because it leaves both versions installed.
I feel bad for Norm as you are either going to love this or hate. I am so used to blocs 2 that I do not like this version. It is going to take alot to get used to. I do like the new nav brick but it’s not working in the new responsive mode. Everything seemed more simple and easier to navigate on the older version. Its seems that something so awesome and simple has been over complicated in ways. JMO will still buy lol
There is a bit of a learning curve for sure, since this is a pretty radical upgrade, but having been a beta tester I would say Blocs 3 is far more productive in terms of workflow once you start to understand the new interface and options.
I hate not being able to have menu buttons embedded in the menu looked awesome on mobile. Thats a big one for me. The resizing of columns and adding bric after bric is so fast and productive wow!
