It started as a very promissing program and on the Radical Breeze-forum you could post questions and feature requests. At first the developer answered and updates of the program came.
Everything seemed to be great and that's why I bought it.
But after a little while, bugs came and were not solved. The forum was closed and Radical Breeze didn't respond to emails anymore. The program was and is left on it's own.
If you want to throw away your money and want to delete your preferences now and then (because that's the only way to get past one of the bugs), buy this program. If you want to be sure your data is safe and want to get what you need, go somewhere else.
I'm very happy to be able to export the RadicalSafe Database and import it directly into SecretBook. All my stuff was imported within seconds and now I can finally shred RadicalSafe. :o)
I love SecretBook and the support is also fantastic! Go there and see for yourself!

By itself, there is not much wrong with RadicalSafe. The idea is sound, the layout is adequate for a first attempt (version 1x). It needs work, but is useable as it is now.
Where it goes bad very fast is password corruption and database corruption; once that happens whatever you entered is gone forever. Since the whole idea is to be able to retrieve sensitive data when necessary, it kills the whole purpose.
RadicalBreeze are unresponsive; there is no documentation with the app or on the website, and support is by eMail only. A forum used to exist but has been pulled without explanation. When I eMail them I get no response at all. Ever.

Over three weeks ago I bought this hunk a junk. I had problems running it on my new Intel Mac Mini and wrote the support. No one answered. I wrote again after 15 days. Still no answer.
It seems like they were happy to take my money but then they don't care.
I found the following by searching for the developer, Bryan Lund:
"We discovered the dark secret of all those shiny fancy Macs out there. A good portion of the Mac enthusiast that use them are really rude. Really, really rude. We had no idea the kind of mean hurtful things the readers...would say to us"
This is probably due to the huge amount of criticism that Lund took on his blog some time ago (from what I've read) by customers who were dissatisfied with his products and wanted some kind of resolution to unending problems. Apparently Lund took those comments as personal attacks on himself.
Here's further news by blogger Phill Ryu:
"As you...screw your RadicalBreeze customers as well (the people who so generously enabled a half-assed developer to quit his day job and do quite well for years), you frame the entire thing in your favor and send out PRESS RELEASES ..."
Again this apparently describes Lund's actions at the Macworld SF gathering in January of 2006 when he announced the "imminent" release of obvious vaporware "Formation II."
I only wish I'd found out about this stuff *before* I bought this road apple disguised as a Mac app.
