Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

This is one of the best FREE utilities I have ever used! And it puts a lot of paid for products to shame in it's simplicity and utility. My dock is all clear except for those apps I like to drag docs on to. This means I can actually have an uncluttered dock with icons that arn't 10 pixels high :-) It is great that all I have to do when I want to launch something is to invoke Namely and type any fragment of the name of the app I want to launch and BANG! It works. Whenever someone sees me use it they ask what it is I show them and they think it's the next best thing to sliced bread. But for some reason they continue to use the dock or navigate the Finder to launch they apps...strange behaviour from people who are smart enought to chose a Mac as thier prefered computer. Namely has been very reliable and is rock solid. It has never caused any issues on any of the 3 PBG4s an 2 PMG4s I use. It has never crashed and I am absolutly certain it has not misbehaved. It is easy to setup and to use, and until you need it you don't even know its there. I wish more apps were like this...I know if this was the case then there would be a lot of technical support people out of a job so maybe its best that most apps are poor and only a sellect few like Namly are GREAT!
