Poor Product - very long time since updated

Version Tracker Pro used to be an excellent method of keeping your software up to date - a must buy for a Mac user with more than one system.
The product is now extremely unstable, prone to crashes, requires frequent Forced Quits.
I have cancelled my auto-rebilling
I strongly recommend that no one purchases this application until it is updated (note well over a year since the latest version was released) and until the developers write on this forum and explain themselves.

Crash on startup - Version: 4.5.1, 5/21/2009 10:55AM PST

I'm on a PPC 10.5.7 and Versiontracker Pro will not start, but crashes immediately (well after about a dozen bounces in the Dock). It does this consistently now.
Is there a place I should send the crash report to?
Is there a place I should send the crash report to?
- VT.app reports my installed copy (and "Inspect" indeed links to the only one on my hard disk) of iMovie as being v.7.1.1 --- when in fact it is v.8.0.3; huh???
- VT.app reports that I have v.3.2 of MasterWriter (correct), but everything ("Insepct," "Download," the info pane in the main window...) tries to tell me that this is the same as "Eclipse SDK​ 3.4.2," whatever that may be???
What gives???
