Product Platform: MacOS,MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

I registered POPmonitor years ago, and I'm also very concerned that the developer has abandoned it. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before it will no longer be compatible with future versions of OS X.

What concerns me the most is that the developer is keeping his website updated with copyright info dated 2007 and claims that it's compatible with Intel Macs, but the latest version of POPmonitor, 2.1.3, was released in 2003. That's 4 years already!

While POPmonitor does run on Intel Macs, it only does so only by using Rosetta. The developer's website, including his FAQ page, has no reference of whether he will upgrade POPmonitor to be natively compatible with Intel Macs which further leads me to believe he has no intentions of doing so.

I love POPmonitor, but I need to find a replacement for it. Does anyone know of an application that does the same basic thing and has an active developer?

I'm also looking for an alternative to popmonitor. It would be great if the program allowed multiple account checking in a single window.
