smelly

This shareware program, like many, has a "nag" reminder that pops up with increasing frequency as you use it.

I paid the license fee, received a "license file," opened the file with the Xfactor app, and what did I get for my money?

Nothing. The nag reminder still comes up. I wrote to the developer and received no reply.

I see why the payment page advises, "absolutely no refunds."

Use the app if you like. But don't bother paying.

Swoon

Binned it. Paying for an app that offers no difference to cabos or mlmac is pointless. And no contact, either. Nice interface, but still user-unfriendly.

Cabos is much better, and free.

Charging money for an application designed to facilitate software piracy? I split a gut laughing so hard when I saw this!

Acquisition also costs bucks for enabling piracy. The developer is a real snotty snob who enforces his serial keys with an iron fist. LMAO!

New Rule: If you shareware application is designed for the express intent of stealing other shareware, or music, then don't enforce a payware software key scheme!
