$50 to upgrade a buggy product ?!
It's hard to beleive, they released 1.5 a full year ago, with so many bugs it was unusable. Now they want $50 for existing users to upgrade to 2.0! *STAY CLEAR* Go Get "Metro SE". it's cheaper, has awesome support and.. works! [alert admin]

SubRosaSoft DesktopEarth 1.3 (Mac OS X)
When I make freewares, I make them free. I don't force the user to enter his/her personal details OR pay $5 to use them. That is an abuse of the word. Call it either shareware or demo, but not freeware. As for insulting your users, that is going to earn you a lot of good karma. If your program works like crap on my configuration -as I described-, I have the right to say so. And for the "just curious but what did you EXPECT it to do ?!?" well, it can do as much as it likes, by previewing what it would do before doing it, and as long as I can *UNDO* it. But of course you'd need to be an experienced mac programmer to know that, instead of someone gathering a spam list. You know, you'd have a LOT more slack if you had made it a true freeware - or shareware, as long as you CALL it so -. [alert admin]

SubRosaSoft DesktopEarth 1.22 (Mac OS X)
If you have to either give your personal details or $5 to use the program, it is not a freeware. This is an abuse of the word. Also, that thing replaced my background picture without asking me anything, and it replaced it with a highly pixelated thing with enormous black bands at the top and bottom. Maybe SubRosaThing ought to give larger screens to their programmers. a 640x480 picture to a 1920x1200 desktop doesn't cut it. Furthermore the program didn't restore the original picture when quitting. Doh. [alert admin]

AhAh, they are preparing a version "2", not two, version "square". If I have to pay for it, I'll swim over there and make their head look just like a square too, I'm sure it's going to look great marketingwise. Anyway, it's gonna be "10.3 ready" I'm sure, and that'll get them going for another year without updating afterward. [alert admin]

Sendmail Enabler 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Because Panther no longer uses Sendmail; it uses postfix. So paying for this shareware is a bit questionable :-) [alert admin]

jBidWatcher 0.9.1 (Mac OS X)
Works pretty nicely. One one thing you have to watch for is to trim your lists of items. Even on my fast mac, if I have 40 items in a list (either 'watching' or 'finished') it becomes extremely slow. Otherwise, it works beautifuly, and in 'idle' mode doesn't takes noticeable resources. And yes, it works with ebay UK, I use it there. [alert admin]

iBible 2.5.2 (Mac OS X)
Note that this thing rated a massive 10.5 on PerversionTracker ! Doesn't get better than that! [alert admin]

I regularly catch this app eating 60%+ CPU on my 2*1.42 mac. It eats CPU for no apparent reasons, and for hours at a time; only way to make it stop is relaunch it. [alert admin]

Despite what is said all over the website, this is not a tool for "everyone" or "beginners". It is FAR from easy to use, the interface past the first layer of eye candy defies any logic. It has no musical shortcuts/helpers (like a chord mode, etc). Recording doens't work all the time, and the loop recording is next to useless. So beside editing existing MIDI files, it's no use to write music. The way of configuring the MIDI devices defies all logic; in fact, even after a year of having this program, I'm still unable to configure it as I'd like for my config. There is no support for MIDI controlers, so if you have one, forget it. The stability is also very questionable, there are crashes all over the place; even loading a seemingly simple MIDI file can crash the program. Last but not least, despite having released their last version almost a year ago, there is no updates, no bug fixes; nothing. <b>Conclusion:</b> I bough Metro SE (cheaper!), and I dumped Intuem. It was a waste of money. [alert admin]
