I think they're shitting themselves, tbh. Crowdfunding delivery delays can turn into a nightmarish PR disaster.

They clearly aren't anywhere near a polished RC for v2.0. They've missed the original deadline, delayed it 2 months to July, and yet in their recent update they "hope" that 1.1.7 (due next month) will help remove some of the blockers stopping 2.0 from being released for tablet & phone.

Seeing as they seem to regard August as a sacrosanct holiday month, despite being a small company with a huge amount to do, even if they get something out of the door by the end of July, the likelihood is that there'll be a lot of angry crowdfunders wondering why the mess that was released isn't getting small, iterative fixes all the time. Plus investors will be getting restive, as they begin to see signs of non-delivery again.
