Worth Checking Out

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Dr. Faustroll Saturday, May 07 2005 @ 11:53 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

Grokker seems to be beset by some of the most malicious and uninformed reviews I have seen on Versiontracker.
  • Yes, this is a Java app.
  • No, it has not been fully "Cocoaized", so that look and feel (including the install process) are not particularly Mac-like.
  • However, the interface is perfectly clean, clear and functional.
I have been using this product since the very first Mac beta version, and have yet to run into any major difficulties with it, or any problems with customer support - wish I could say that of all my apps...
Most importantly, what this application does - organize search results into categorized graphs - is unbelievably useful if your work depends upon heavy search engine use. My recommendation: pay no attention to the naysayers and give Grokker a shot - you might find you like it.

Worth Checking Out - tabaks

Yes, if you consider not being able to click half of the results because they contain space characters that Grokker inserted randomly to be a small issue. B*****it, this piece of "chunky chocolate nougat" is basically mostly unusable. unless the problem was fixed and they never cared to tell anyone.

Worth Checking Out - Dr. Faustroll

Tabaks, your comment is a perfect example of the attitude I was referring to. Your complaints refer to a previous version that is almost a year old, and provide the reader with no way to verify them - I've certainly never run into the issue you mention with any version of Grokker.
