This little app works perfectly. There's no hassle in setting this up and it works with iCal seamlessly, far unlike the combo of Remind and Geektools. If you frequently need to check your calendar or find it helpful in any way to have it available at a glance, this is well worth the 5 bucks.

The only suggestion I'd like to make to the developer is to change the app so that it shows as a Menubar item rather than a Dock icon (or optionally so). As an app that most users would have auto-load on startup and stay loaded always, it's not really necessary to have it on the Dock. I'd rather have a smaller Menubar icon to access the preferences as needed. That, or perhaps put the options into a Preference Panel item and have no icon in the Dock or Menubar.
