Feedback Type: Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

It tries to phone home when I install it. I deny it access to phone home but then as soon as I try to play it crashes. No thanks I will stick with other apps that do the same thing.

Why does it need to phone home? If I would have let it phone home what would it have transmitted back to its developer. Would it log any personal information?

Phones home but when denied it crashes - SigMunky

Thanks for the feedback. The 'phone home' is the automatic version checking, which is just a web request to http://simiangames.com/sosume/version.php (a PHP script which returns an XML file with latest Sosume version information - you can visit it in a web browser to confirm). No personal information is transmitted, I promise :)

That said, the crash was due to a bug - I've fixed it now in case you want to grab another copy.
