Horrible Software! The absolute worst! - Version: 5.0.1, 3/15/2008 04:37PM PST

deandobkin

I cannot get this thing off my computer. It never worked well, and now continues to annoy every user except me (I am the installing administrator) frequently saying the trial period is over while shrinking the rest of the screen to a tiny spot. I cannot get it off the computer. Right now I see no other option than erase the hard drive. I e-mailed the software company and asked what to do at least 5-10 times with NO RESPONSE!!! This is the worst thing that's happened to my Macintosh since one of the kids stepped on it!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can find a way to remove it, let me know!!!!!!!

Dear Watcher 5 beta users,

Watcher 5 pre-release versions are expected to contain some bugs. If you find one, please contact software -at alorsoft.net and report them. We always answer customer emails within the next few days.

Some user post bad feedback about this beta (including its pricing !) yet they haven't sent any bug report. That's just a shame.

We are already working on the next beta which will come really soon now.

The developer.
