I've used this app for months with no issues at all. I'm even currently running it on 10.5.6 without any issues. It might not be fancy but it does what it claims to do
Even more info. - Version: 1.0, 1/1/2009 10:01PM PST

After a spell of not needing this app's services, I returned to it today in OSX 10.5.6. Now, this app seems to be broken too, just as happened with MacParDeluxe.
I dragged a Par2 file onto the app and a silly window opened. It exhorted me to "drop .par2 file on the application icon..." which, of course, is what I had just done. There was only one option for proceeding: "Quit". Very helpful!
The rest of the exhortation was: "... or use this app to open .par2 files." Yes, there is a menu item "open" but it's greyed out!
In short, forget this tool.

- Even more info.
- You must draganddrop your par2 file onto the app-icon, the menu's are indeed greyed out, as mentioned before.
- The par2formac must be on a path without spaces or other special characters in the name. It seems to use an unquoted reference to itself and this breaks when your path has spaces, or possibly other special characters.
Problems such as what I mentioned for the second caveat are reported when the app opens, just read the dialog carefully :) I agree, the interface is crude, but hey, the tool works! It just saved me from having to wait for the last 4 Gig of a huge database dowload!
