I think some things need to be clarified because some of the comments I believe are unfair.

First of all there is a fully functional demo available for you to try before you purchase so nobody should feel that they got any surprises with the software.

Secondly, problems with connectivity with the meters are due to problems with the meters themselves and the fact that they were never ever designed to work with a Mac and we had to spend considerable time and effort, with no assistance from the meter companies, to get them working on the Mac. That being said if you are using certain USB devices they may conflict with the meter driver and may need to be unplugged. This solves meter connectivity problems 99% of the time. We do have a Windows version of the software which does not have these problems but wanted to support Mac Diabetics who had no other software options.

Thirdly, the graphics and layout of the product have been approved by Apple's UI guru's as complying with Apple's interface guide. The software was meant as a usable tool for diabetics who have to use it many times a day. Cluttering it with a lot of images and bells and whistles does not help diabetic users especially those with vision problems.

Fourthly, when a user e-mails a new feature we have 90% of the time added it in the next update. I don't know of any software company who tries as hard to be responsive to the needs of its users. Every tech support e-mail is answered though sometimes it may take a few days because licensed user inquiries are handled ahead of demo users. Most of the time support issues can be handled by reading the user guides or support information.

Fifthly, the software is not buggy or unstable in any way and is in fact in use in hospitals and clinics around the world and has been for several years having been tested and certified for use in professional healthcare settings.

If you are a diabetic and a Mac user we only ask that you download the demo and see if it is right for you as over 3,000 Version Tracker users have already.

I did try the demo 1st. But with out real data to enter, it work well. But after I paid for it, and had to install it 3 times to get it to unlock. I have e-mailed you 3 to 4 times with only 1. yes, only one returned e-mail. I still can not link to the web, my palm, and I am waiting for you to add the Ultra 2 meter. When I get it to link with the palm, all my data changes in the desktop software.
I really would like my money back, but I am hoping you pull your head out of your ass soon. All I would like to some one to return my e-mails and help me to get the software working.
If you have it, you know what I am talking about. If your looking, please pass this software up. support is just not there. They may add 90% of what people are looking for, but if they don't read their e-mails is it really 90%?
Take care,
Tom
PS I do like the software. I just would like it to work 100% of the time.
