Flow ReviewFlow's a joy to use - Version: 1.1.1, 1/3/2009 12:51PM PST

I've been using Flow for about 7 months now -- I think pretty much since it was released. Although it was pretty buggy at first, Flow is now an absolute joy to use. It's simple, it's intuitive, it's fast, it's stable, and it looks fantastic.

This app is a winner.

Flow ReviewLooks pretty, but that's about it. - Version: 1.0.3, 8/4/2008 09:38AM PST

I was really impressed with the interface. Very pretty.

However, I couldn't accomplish anything else with this program except logging into my FTP site. File transfers fail and I wasn't able to upload a single file to my site.

I dragged my files into the window, Flow populated the window with my file names and then most of the files just disappeared from the window. The files that remained in the window just sat there and did nothing.

As usual, don't pay for software that doesn't work. Use the trial first. I'm glad I did.

Flow ReviewSlick UI. Poor file transfer. - Version: 1.0, 4/7/2008 02:01AM PST

A slick UI without a doubt, but most (if not all?) of that is provided by the OS itself, and as far as interfaces go not having a dual pane local/remote view makes it very hard to use, not to mention lots buggy of behavior in other areas.

The biggest problem though is that the file transfer bit ... you know, the part which actually makes the app of any use ... it's flaky as hell. "Solid Connections" ? Nope.

Flow ReviewFast. Simple. Pro. - Version: 1.0, 4/6/2008 05:33AM PST

It's MUCH faster than Transmit when using normal FTP accounts and services. The transmission is better and the interface is more PRO for web designers. Great!

First of all I am in awe of anyone who can actually create an application of any type so any criticism by me is simply to be used constructively. I like simple, an FTP client should not be difficult to use by the average person. An application such as crushftp may have nice features but is very difficult to setup and get working.

This application is easy to setup but this one window GUI on some of the latest FTP clients drives me mad, Does anyone really like just the one window? Why would I want to open up my finder window and also open up Flow in order to transmit data to my server? Everyone I have talked to about this agrees that two windows, one for the data on your computer and one window for the server is the easiest to manipulate and understand.

Please consider a two window option as least. The speed seems comparable to most of the others on the Mac market. I have tested about 30 FTP clients between windows and mac in the last month and I am sticking for now with Transmit (solid) and Forklift (best GUI) for mac and CuteFTP (fast but ugly) and WS_FTP (the Transmit of the windows world) on windows.

For now I'm not sure that you should be charging for this application in it's current form when you have free apps like Cyberduck which perform as well. My advice would be to keep this in a free Beta mode until you reach a point where this app can separate itself from the pack. Once you can show the value of this product then the public will be more than happy to pay for this fine app.

Good luck and keep up the good work, but PLEASE give it a two window option...
