I haven't gotten around to upgrading to Fussion 5 yet but I haven't heard anyone complaining about it. I've always downloaded it straight from the VMWare website which can be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if it is available in the app store.
They also have a thirty day free trial available if your interested.
