Wouldn't it be better, and way cheaper, to simply learn how to use your computer rather than buy a crutch, like this app?

That said, Spotlight will find files by type, it's amazingly fast and easy, and it's FREE!

Why Leap is priced at $59.00 is beyond me. I can't imagine paying anything near that amount for this app.

Thanks, but no thanks - sherman1

Wow. A crutch? Not only is the price beyond you, it seems like the entire purpose of this application is beyond you. Sure, it relies on Spotlight. But the power it gives me is way beyond what I can easily access with Spotlight.

Thanks, but no thanks - Tom Andersen

Tom - one of the developers here. Leap is a tool for organizing and searching for files. It can be used, for instance as a media browser, in which it case it competes head on with for instance Microsoft iView $299, or Adobe Bridge which is also expensive. So this makes $59 look cheap.

Much of the reason for writing Leap was our frustration with searching with the Finder, and its inability to, for instance show you where all the files are when you do a Spotlight search.

Thanks, but no thanks - ratz

You know I might give a negative comment when it is justified but this is just moronic. Have you even tried the software? Both Leap and Yep happen to be VERY useful software.

With your logic you could just say why not just use XP or Vista they are OS's. You know why look for anything better or that might enhance your ability to get things done? Why should a designer use a font manager when they can already install fonts and use them? Why use iPhoto when you can organize and find the photos in folders. Just a completely moronic and ridiculous line of reasoning.

As John Stossel would say "Give me a break"!
