Legacy installation with admin password request

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

Sorry, but why do some apps come with simple installation (drag and drop in main or user Applications folder) and some with those crappie old style installers (worse if it asks for root permissions!)

Go back and do your homework! read Mac OS X guidelines and inform yourself in the open-source community.
BTW even real Pro Software (as DEVONthink, DEVONagent, OPERA) or well known Apps like Firefox can be installed by drag and drop.
And if the crappie installer from Adobe/Macromedia for Flashplayer can install without asking for root permissions - then i just don't get the point why your Application can't do likewise.

And for this reason I'm not going to test your app - no chance!

Legacy installation with admin password request - remixed

What purpose does your review serve? Okay, they use an installer program, omg that's the end of the world!!! Not!

You confess that you haven't even tried the application but already you slate it with 2 stars. You're comments are a waste of space and screw the ratings.

The reason it requires an installer and admin authentication is because StickyBrain uses OpenBase, which installs components in your /Library folder.

Good gosh man! Don't install any Mac OS upgrades - they too use an installer.

Obviously this is a poor-taste attempt to discredit StickyBrain by someone using/authoring a competing product.
