I see the warning "small Christian calendar" here on the VersionTracker site; but you won't find any such warning on the developer's site. I'm writing this as a review, not a rant or comment, because I'm talking about a function of the application itself, namely the annoyance of a pop-up which occurs at midnight when I'm on the computer. There's a preference for turning off "Use Faith's Checkbook," but none for turning off this annoying Bible-text pop-up. I wouldn't have wasted my time checking out this application and figuring out how to use it, had I known this would happen. Had there been "full disclosure" up front, I would feel no need to register this unforeseen annoyance here.
To those who will no doubt attach comments criticizing my criticism, well, just remember, not all of us are Christian. Some of us were and now aren't, some of us never have been. Many of us don't want to be, and ALL of us already know what it's all about. So naturally many of us consider this to be a sneaky, subtle form of proselytizing. The developer should advise people up front about it. And by the way, I wouldn't want pop-ups advocating for refreshing mountain spring water, either, so it's not JUST about religion. Being a religious pop-up only makes it even more annoying.

No, Hannibal Fortune, Perhaps - You Need to - Get a grip - electric1--2008
@Hannibal FortuneThe original posters point is that there is NO PREFERENCE to be able to switch this off.
The program, free or not, should not provide pop-ups of any kind without prior warning - and there should be the choice to turn the pop-up off !

You don't like it? Stop using it. It's not like it cost you a cent. What a bunch of crybabies.Friday, February 27 2009 @ 11:19 PM PST

Can't disable Jesus pop-up - getittowork
You knew it said Jesus upfront. If you have such an aversion to Jesus, then why would you incite yourself knowing you would be getting something Christian? Everyone knows right away. Are you telling me that you did not know it had Jesus Christ content? I would not get a program which said secular humanist. But, I sure would be able to figure out what part of the content would be. You went out of your way to downgrade the programmer unfairly. Why?Tuesday, October 06 2009 @ 06:31 PM PDT
Get a grip - Hannibal Fortune
You're getting a free program and you complain because it gives a small, unobtrusive popup once a week? I see it every Sunday morning but it doesn't bother me. I'm not Christian, either, but it's not like some guy on a street corner screaming at you about how you must accept Jesus or be damned. You see it, you close it. Takes all of five seconds. It's that simple. There's plenty worse nagware out there, not to mention popup and popunder ads at lots of websites, none of which give you "full disclosure" before you go there.Reply to This
