Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

A bluetooth AppleEvent gateway for your phone with extended management interfaces at both the phone and the Mac. The interface is reminiscent of the old Font-DA mover approach which is fairly Spartan but also straight forward by nature. The features are expansive as Mac applications can respond to many AppleEvents from AppleScripts, thus adding to the potential functionality of Clicker. Clicker alone comes with a wealth of scripts already embedded which allow control of the popular i-apps and provides links to third party scripts as well. Unfortunately Achilles heal of this application is its method of copy protection. While I would never begrudge the author his $20 (and paid it gladly), I anticipate having problems when ever I rebuild my system or move to Tiger which, for the wise, involves a clean install and migration. All system finger printing mechanisms of copy protection are similarly flawed. Had I known this was employed by before made it all the way through the purchase, I would have canceled. I wasted $55 on MacAnalysis similarly and rarely have it running on my system due to its fingerprinting copy protection. When copy protection becomes arduous or causes expense for the paying customer, it is done wrong. Just getting registered was a hassle.

Control Freaks Delight - Ilgaz

You direct your flame to wrong one. You should ask to people paying $700 to a phone and pirate that years amount of work of a single person.
