Calls out to 8 different addresses, & it's unstable

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Every time I start it up Little Snitch informs me that the free version of SWF & FLV Player is calling home and to 7 other addresses! That is simply unacceptable. In addition, twice it has become hung up during this process (even after I instructed Little Snitch to allow all those callouts) and I had to force quit it. It's just too buggy, and it calls way too many third parties in its startup process. I just had to uninstall it.

Calls out to 8 different addresses, & it's unstable - Jullaria

You are surely mistaken, because SWF&FLV PLayer is calling www.eltima.com ONLY in order to check the new version availability.

I hate apps that phone home! Giving away demographic info is NOT free.
