WHY PAY $$$ - FreeWare alternatives exist and most work better... - Version: 2.1.2, 4/8/2005 07:56AM PST

Good but not perfect

There is still some things this program can do that no other can.
The interface is not very good, even though there are a lot of features. The FAQ contains a lot of useful information as do the help tips
I like it because it stays in the background and is configure once run alone type of program.
However, updates could be done for an improved interface and other small tweaks.
The acceleration seems to work although I cannot measure it.
Keep up the good work!

What MOX Optimize can do - Version: 2.1.2, 2/1/2004 01:52AM PST

...that most of the fine other utilities mentioned here (OnyX, Xupport, Cocktail, etc.), is to provide a convenient way of disabling extensions, sort of like OS 9's Extensions Manager. So what if the interface looks ugly? Still works.

I notified the developer of this app that he was using an icon from an old version of Pacifist for the Prebinding tab way back in September. Now, almost five months later, the icon is still in there. Infosoft, if you're reading this, PLEASE REMOVE MY ICON FROM YOUR APP. Thank you.

I purchased a license for 1.7.8, and it did some useful things, although not anything that several other utilities don't also do. But I am hugely disappointed that the developer expects me to pay again for v.2. As far as I know, there was no version 1.x after 1.7.8, so I think it's simply a case of a greedy developer. My advice to prospective users would be for you to find other utilities that do the same thing and have more generous upgrade policies. Tinker Tool, Cocktail, and Braodband Optimizer come immediately to mind. Otherwise you may find yourself paying over and over for a lot of nothing.
The interface looks terrible, too. The buttons and their labels are smashed together making them difficult to read. Frankly, it looks like an amateurish design, and it doesn't inspire much confidence in the quality of the software itself.

often that I'll pull out the credit card for a shareware program, especially one that already gives you 90% of it's features for free, but I'm impressed enough by it to want any updates, betas, and the databases on further optimisation information - so a Premium licence it is for me!! (And, mondomac, where is this panhandling for good reviews that you spoke of? I couldn't find it.)

what it promises...and does it well. The UI is functional if not a work of art but I'm not really interested in "MOX Art". (by the way mondomac the mouse speed thingie is there).

previous version and gave it five stars because the features and price seemed reasonable. Version two is very disappointing. I seem to remember a mouse speed feature which is not included -- did it in Terminal so I know it can be done in 10.2.1. Rewritten or not, this is mostly a bunch of 10.2 fixes with a couple new useful features. UI is silly bad, and yes it matters. This version is presented and delivered in a most amateur manner, and to me not worth even the upgrade price. Minus a star each for: removing the mouse speed option, unintuitive interface, lack of decent documentation, panhandling for "good" reviews on website by offering a chance for free license. > rm -Rf MOX Optimize 2/

Optimize user, I'm a bit dissapointed with the new version (2). It's a bit buggy, the interface could be improved, I can do most of the functions with fereware, etc. I truly was looking forward to this, but there's nothing in this new version that merits paying for an upgrade. The previous version deserves 4 stars and I rated it that way in June, but this one was a huge dissapointment.
