DockStar ReviewVery responsive developer - Version: 2.1.4, 9/11/2009 08:09AM PST

I have used this app for over 2 years and I would find life much more difficult without it since I monitor quite a number of email accounts for clients, some which require immediate attention. This allows me to know which one has a new incoming email at a glance.
This developer had a update for the Snow Leopard 10.6.1 update on the same day as release, and responded to my support email within minutes.

DockStar Troubleshooting ReportWhat happened???? - Version: 2.1, 11/14/2008 12:02PM PST

This is/was one of my favorite pieces of software I've purchased. I always knew what account had mail in at a glance... I loved it! Especially adding the menubar feature. However, somewhere along the way in a System Update, it broke. Mail would quit on launch. I tried everything to solve the problem, and removing DockStar did the trick. I confirmed it repeatedly. I thought surely they'd fix that soon and not leave paid users without for too long. But it has been many many months. Nothing.

DockStar ReviewElegant and unobtrusive - Version: 2.1, 3/3/2008 07:27AM PST

Well thought out and well implemented utility that does exactly what it claims to do (a rarity these days!) I happily handed over my ten bucks.
