Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

but they seem to be a bit English-challenged. Apparently the demo version only transfers five records (although it doesn't say this anywhere). And attempting to buy it takes you to a page where only Euros or CHF, whatever that is, are accepted. On the five records I transferred, fields seemed to go to the right place, after some hassles with the "database does not exist" error messages. I'm still not sure what I did that made this go away. I'm a little hesitant to undertake a credit transaction with a firm which is so weak in its language skills. Anybody know of a more communicative and businesslike developer with a similar product?

Well, it seems to work... - vei

Well, if you judge a software by the mother tongue of the developer then you better buy a rubbish that doesn't work at all but is made in the USA. I have to say first of all that I have nothing to do with the developer I just read about them some minutes ago, time enough to check their page to see what this person is writing about... for your knowledge, CHF are Swiss Francs , Euros are the currency of the European Community, and Switzerland is a country with four official languages : German, French, Italian and Retoroman (I'm not sure if it's properly spelled, since I'm not Swiss and english is only my fourth language).
The point is that it's really a pity to see comments like this, specially when really often there are developers that think (or at least seems so) that only exist the USA and the only language in the world is English, but the rest of the users don't blame on them... (even some calendars where you can't change the date format!! , so being useful only them)
BTW, I can see that in the developer page you can also pay in dollars, so the only problem seem to be your own ignorance and some grammatical error from them... I'm I wrong?

I have not tried the software yet but I think the first reviewer is very narrow minded. CHF is Swiss Francs, not some dodgy currency from a second rate country.

Please don't criticise other prople's use of the English language, esprcially as America does not even have their own (English, believe it or not is from England, not USA). Instead, be grateful that the developer has taken the time to translate the application into the language you speak.
