DO NOT TRY - Uninstaller broken

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Westside guy Thursday, October 29 2009 @ 09:37 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Version 1.0 beta 4 uses an installer to put the app on your Mac, and it theoretically installs an uninstaller app as well - but the installed uninstaller is broken! I tried it twice...

This is really a problem since there are no manual uninstall instructions for the Mac.

Not to mention that the app did a very poor job of identifying - actually "misidentifying" would be a more accurate term - the current versions of much of the software on my computer. It thinks Adium 1.3.7 is newer than my installed 1.4b12, for instance; plus it misidentifies non-beta software as well.

This is a terrible app in its current incarnation - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
