Well it works but has a long way to go to be worth the $7 the developer apparently is threatening users with. I certainly wouldn't' pay $1 for it as it is.
The "background color" can not be changed, this leaves an annoying blue box not only around the UI window but around much more screen real estate than the widow actually uses. Apparently this area is for "info" but nothing ever appeared for me, making the color.. well... just annoying visually. And if the application needs that much area for some content, the window should encompass it, not allow things to "float" outside the application window.
Clicking the little application window does not bring it forward as expected.
Adding URI to the menu list could take considerable time in itself so be prepared to do some work if you intend to sue this. And when adding URI be certain not to include the http:// otherwise they won't load. The developer should really account for this.
Each URL must apparently be associated with an application. Not certain why this is, I guess so you can use multiple browsers and picking a URL would open the set browser. However, the "default" option doesn't work. So regardless of what you've got your default browser to be, you must still select it when adding a URL.
The GUI is cumbersome and unintuitive. I think the developer has possibly looked at it so long it makes sense to him/her but to most users it's annoying. There are buttons that don't look like standard buttons and are not labeled in any way.
In short, not worth $1, much less $7.

Moreover, I don't paricularly appreciate it when developers tell me "Note : this is the last version I will release unless I start getting purchases". Well, tough, being coercive in this way is definitely counterproductive, sorry.
