TrimTheFat Usage TipBreaks Rosetta Stone Version 3 - Version: 0.7, 9/4/2008 07:01AM PST

I've used this on literally every app and utility in their respective folders and this is the first app that won't open after being trimmed. With that small exception, I heartily recommend this app.

TrimTheFat ReviewTerrible program - Version: 0.7, 6/19/2007 04:16AM PST

I used this on a couple of disk hungry apps like Final Cut and Photoshop as well as smaller ones such as Microsoft Messenger and Firefox. The results were all the same. Trimthefat caused all these programs to crash at random intervals. Other people may have more success than me but I am certainly never going to use it ever again.
