Hello: I'm a graphic/UI designer who built a Mac app, and am looking for feedback.

It's a kangaroo-themed drag-and-drop audio converter called AudioRoo, because even though I acknowledge there are a lot of FFmpeg wrappers out there, when I searched through them I found that none of them were kangaroo themed.
What I'd most appreciate: anyone willing to look at it. Even better is telling me if anything confusing or click-heavy, or can feed it something weird (huge folders, odd formats etc.). Note that in the TestFlight build the full version does not require paying the current 4.99$ US price.

The app converts audio and can provide audio conversion FFmpeg commands via a command monitor.

I was planning to give away codes to beta testers, but cant do that here, so lookout for a post in the giveaway section. If you convert audio and were using an online utility like me, then the app might come in handy. Thank you.

Ignore my opinion, as it will probably be the only one, but I like the old look, with the MP3 settings at the bottom. 🙂
Yeah I don't disagree and I went back-and-forth a bit, the original layout felt more 'drag and drop' the new column layout more settings focused (to me at least).

Eventually it came down to stacking the purchase area, the (new) status area, settings and drop area on top of each other was getting too tall for me. I hope current users don't revolt when I update..😬😬

As a side note, looking at the v1 design, just now realizing how much better the colors were, might update that today, don't know what came over me.

Thanks for checking out the app, and your thoughts.

Edit: attached (scaled) a pic of v1 vs v2 for comparison
