Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I used to use Default Folder way back in the OS9 days, and it was great then. I kinda of forgot about it during my transaition to OSX several years abck. I recently tried it out under OSX for the first time, and I think it's safe to say it's still a great utility, well thought out for usability over eye candy and all that, and perfectly stable during my short period of testing. However, the price of $35 is pretty over the top for a GUI-helper utility such as this. Maybe I'd pay $15, but $35? No, sorry, that's just too much for what DF does. Just my opinion, so, no flames please!

Great app, but the price is waaaay too high - MAC_1984

As someone who once took your stance I can say that after using DF, now for some time, you really cannot live without it. Once on broad the costs of upgrades are always fair and the time between upgrade pricing requests is more than reasonable. But, most of all you'll wonder why you didn't register earlier--at least I did.

Am I to understand that even after paying $35, you also pay for upgrades?

Wow. Just, wow.

Great app, but the price is waaaay too high - Speak To Me Now

I paid for this years ago and haven't ever been asked to pay for an upgrade. I think that's the deal with the license.

Totally worth it, especially as I have never had to fork out for any updates...ever.

This and Copy+Paste are the only two must have add ons to OSX that I use and both are basically free upgrades for life after you pay for the software.
