Pastor ReviewGood, but needs work - Version: 1.8.1, 4/3/2009 06:23PM PST

Biggest shortcoming for me is that the Notes field stops letting me enter data after the 210th character. The box for Notes is big enough to allow 3 or 4 times as many characters, and because it has a scroll bar, one can assume it should accept even more. This ought to be an easy fix, and I hope the publisher does it; otherwise, he isn't going to get as many shareware donations as he deserves.

Pastor Revieweh... - Version: 1.8.1, 9/22/2008 03:16PM PST

i'm not impressed. this app and its records are completely non-configurable - the Preferences... menu item is even grayed out.

there's only one field in each record whose data is obscured from view when the record is open; if a record has several pieces of sensitive information i want displayed as little dots, such as a credit card's account number, its security code, and its expiration date, i have to put all of them in that one field and then use the arrow keys to scroll sideways through the data in order to read it all, which is not an elegant solution.

if the field labels don't apply to the information i'm putting into them, i can't change them - i have to kind of guess, each time i open a record, into which field i should put which data (a credit card number, for example, is not a password, a serial number, nor a PIN, but if i want it to be turned into little dots, i have to put it into the "Password, Serial Number, PIN" field).

i think i've been spoiled by Safe Place, which lets you create custom record types to your heart's content, each with whatever field labels you want and with as many or as few fields "dotted out" as you want. unfortunately 10.5.5 appears to have busted that app, which is the only reason i'm browsing data-securing apps right now at all.

i don't see any mention of what type or strength of encryption this app uses. i would think that if it was at all impressive the author would list it among the app's features.

and while it doesn't relate directly to the app, it relates to the developer's sense of design and thought given to the user's experience: the text on his website blends into the background so well as to be almost invisible. it's a chore to read it. if i need help with this app, i'd rather try to find it here or on MacFixIt or something than go strain my eyes trying to read the developer's website.

the app may work great for some people, but it's too simplistic for my tastes - it feels like something the developer threw together over a weekend when his other plans fell through - and it's definitely less easy-to-use than it might be.

boy, i hope Mere Mortal fixes Safe Place quick.

Pastor ReviewGreat little app, but some minor issues... - Version: 1.8, 4/23/2008 08:43AM PST

I've used this app for years now and it does what it's supposed to do. With the new release, I was hoping that it's possible to open a default document but instead, Pastor now opens a new document every time. Not sure what purpose that serves.
Please, please - if I had one request, please add the option to open a default document when opening the app - would make life even easier.
