Good application, but for the price it is hard to understand a bug fix update released daily. Okay .... applause for the degree to which they are on top of bugs at whatever price. But now we have to rely on third party web sites like VersionTracker to know if our version is current. And when the updates are coming one every day we have to use your cumbersome anti-ease-of-use, not to mention, unusual (for shareware anyway), method of downloading the update. And when the updates are to fix bugs they are essential. So while I like the application, rapid-fire, daily updates have become a real pain. This application badly needs a "Check for Updates" menu item (or better yet a "Check for updates on launch" preference item. Then it needs an immediate "Download update" menu item. At this price, the updates are taking too much of the license owner's time. It is almost as if the developer is making a release-a-day-go-to-my-web-site-and-enter-your-id-and-serial as an anti-piracy technique. So the "good" of the application is diminished by the "bad" of having to deal with the "bad" of getting the latest bug fix. But for this it would be a 4 star
