Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Burns up CPU cycles, hogs virtual memory. Only intermittently reads iCal. And smartass developer . . . WHEN he is decides to respond. And I paid for this. So, it's a pretty app that doesn't do what it's supposed to.

Update, advice, do's & don'ts - rick30316

1 - Don't show the menu item. That seems to be what drives up the VM usage. Instead, set a keyboard shortcut and be done with it.

2 - If you rearrange the calendars in iCal, especially moving them into groups, BurnoutMenu will stop reading them.

I now seem to be able to live with this application, but it was not thanks to any advice from the developer.

Did you use their support email address? Because I can imaginethat small developers not alwats read sites like these, but they should address questions sent to them directly.
