Too Many New Releases!

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: kissstephanie72 Wednesday, June 24 2009 @ 09:05 AM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

I want to try this application but there has been six versions in 14 days which is absurd! I like keeping all of my software up to date, so that many releases in such a shore period of time is frustrating to have to keep up with, and it's clearly not ready for the public if a new version needs to be released every two days on average.

It's about time to settle on a release and then let the people use the product for a while without a new version being released. This is the final time that I will download this application, and if there is a new release within the next week or so, then I will get it off Macs and I won't be downloading it again.

Too Many New Releases! - Jelliesandbeans

YOU SHOULD BE GLAD A PROGRAMMER IS MAKING REGULAR UPDATES AND MAKING IT BETTER AND BETTER !

It's a damn shame someone is moaning about updates. A real shame!
If you don't like the app because it is updated on regular times then just delete it and use a program that never gets a update.

FYI all updates are with great new features and occasionally a bug fix. This implies the program is very usable in every version without bugs.

To the developer:
Keep up the good work. It is because of your continues updates I have registered. This is by far the best converter for OS X

No I've got rid of this application from my Macs now. I'm not glad at all. Seven releases now in 17 days is ridiculous, so it's obviously not ready for the public. Of course it's great when a programmer improves an application, but my advice is to make the improvements, and then release it once or twice at most per month instead of every second bloody day!

rotfl ... deleting a application because it is update on a regular base. You must be kidding. ROTFL indeed!

Two things:
1 - You are missing the best media converter for OS X
2 - We finally not going to see a dreadful boring comment from you.

Everybody happy.

Lets download the latest version. :)

God help that you should miss a release.

The iVideoConverter police will probably arrest you and imprison you for life!

Too Many New Releases! - Gennx30

how dumb are some of you? a release every 5 hours means (/sarc)
1. it should not be released yet- its not ready
2. like SPEED DOWNLOAD they keep bumping to the top once a week with a trivial "whats new in this version: dotted the "i" in 'documentation'"
"Just had the idea to change skin color" " "moms birthday update"
There is such a thing as "superfluous releases" vs "true improvement releases"
Do it at one time every so often not nickle and dime, unless an urgent problem keeps arising-which means its not ready for release-and 7 times every 2 days avg suggests that:

Too Many New Releases! - NOT - MacUser-4-ever

I understand where you're coming from, but I think you're wrong here. There's some unwritten history with this app. When VisualHub terminated, there became huge void in this type of app. It seems like they're rushing development and doing an amazing job of it, so the developers are faced with a choice...holding off on offering new features and fixes or make them available as they develop. You always have the ability to not upgrade, but why should others who have written in and asked for features not get them because you don't like having the *option* to have an upgrade be available?

I haven't seen the upgrade notifications in the app itself, but maybe they aren't showing enough info about what's critical and what's not so that you can decide on whether or not to upgrade...of course the upgrading is so incredibly simple and fast with this app, I'm not sure why this is an issue for you.

Instead of giving up, did you write to the developer? More importantly, to you suggest a way that the developer could resolve this issue for you? I've written to them, and they were incredibly responsive.
