I was glad to find this application, as it seemed to fill a need. However, while it looks OK and SEEMS to be straightforward and I'd really like it to work, it is frequently difficult or impossible to enter data or do a calculation, even if one does exactly what the developer says in his examples and follows his tips to get data to be accepted. This is not a 1.00 release--it might qualify as a beta. Some functions are available some of the time, but some just don't work more than about 3% of the time. I give it 2 stars for the functions that do work. If they all worked all the time, it would rate 4 stars.
At least, Weight2Weight hasn't crashed--yet.
There seems to be no way to contact the developer. The link to the developer page here just goes to an HTML copy of the help file, which has a medium gray textured background that makes it hard to read the text. Even going up a level in his url doesn't help, as there is no contact information. That's why I gave it 1 star for Support/Documentation, even though the Help is acceptable.

Good idea, very erratic execution - Mumbo
Thanks for the feedback. I will return to the effort to correct the occasional data input flaw. As a seemingly random problem, it has proved difficult to track down so far. I certainly understand a degree of frustration with the "double click, delete" workaround.I was trying for a simple and flexible interface for a relatively large number of calculation options. This also continues to be an area for improvement in a future version.
My contact information has been available in the <Technical Support:> section of the <About Mumboware> link on the VersionTracker page.
