I've used DockFun for quite some time (and have it licensed for 10 cpu's). There have been few updates. No support email address. Occasionally DockFun starts consuming extra CPU, you have to quit and relaunch. No updates for Leopard, no updates since 2006. If you are a Tiger user and don't mind it sucking 30% CPU cycles when it burps its fine but the lack of support and updates have me looking for a replacement. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend it.

While I like the idea of what DockFun! does, it extended the time from login to actually being able to use the computer by about 30 seconds. The splash screen is ugly and displays way too long. The UI is horribly designed, and it crashed several times. I would feel bad writing such a harsh review, if it wasn't for the nagging! I switched the dock twice, and up came a nag window! I very quickly removed this software. I needed something to help my workflow, but hinder it.

I can see great potential but if it does not give me a decent amount of time to see if I can use it in my workflow without interrupting me with "buy, buy, buy" reminders, I won't be be pulling out my credit card.

I found it easy to set up, but I have found a few quirks, but honestly can't say whether they were caused by the nag popups interfering with the workflow.

An example, I opened Aperture through DockFun, quit it, and then tried to open it again through Dockfun — no way! Neither the menu or dock option would work.
