PhoneView 2.3 (Mac OS X)
Annoyingly stupid: NO UPDATES! ![]()

It seems ridiculously hard to update this software once you bought it. You simply CAN'T download updates from the developer's site, only a demo version which you cannot unlock with your registration code. So what do you do when a new version comes out (like 2.3 now, which supports voicemail sync)? Well, you're supposed to get an automated email from the developer. This happened to me once (when 2.2.1 came out), but not for any subsequent version. There isn't an update check funcationality within the software, either. I already complained to the developer, who replied by offering to send me another download link. Would I have to go through this each time the app is updated? So BEWARE of buying this, until the developer fixes this stone age approach to customer service and product support. [alert admin]

teleport 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
This is one amazing piece of software. Just installed it on my Mac mini and my MacBook Pro, and it worked instantly. I can now forget about VNC or manually plugging/unplugging my keyboard and mouse, just control two machine from one set of peripherals. Very cool. This guy is gonna get a donation from me... and if he finds the time to introduce a Windows version (for my BootCamp gaming), he'll get one again! :-) [alert admin]

The Missing Sync for iPhone 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
Like the others have said: this is awful. I also had to use Missing Sync for Windows Mobile from the same company, which was just as horrible. They just don't know how to make proper, stable software with a nice user interface that's actually... well, usable. If you're looking for a nice iPhone archival (SMS etc.) app that does everything this piece of crap does, for half the money, get PhoneView. Was part of the latest MacHeist bundle. About as nice and even cheaper: MobileSync Browser. Whatever you do, just avoid this junkware like the plague. [alert admin]

Adobe Illustrator CS4 14.0 (Mac OS X)
Illustrator CS4 v14.0 came out today? That just goes to show how far ahead of my time I am... had this on my Mac for a couple of months now. :-) [alert admin]

Isolator 4.0 (Mac OS X)
I didn't know I could like a tiny piece of software that much! It's brilliant for making screenshots (I'm writing a book at the moment = loads of screenshots), cause I can set the background to white and it even covers my desktop icons. It also takes away that annoying drop shadow under the menu bar. Ok, so that's not the main purpose why this thing was developed, but it sure is a great help for me. I definitely will donate some money to whoever made this... once my publisher pays me. :-) [alert admin]

EverSave 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
Don't listen to this other reviewer here, thomasmarch - he's either talking about some other piece of software, or his machine has a serious problem... or maybe version 1.0.1 of Eversave really stunk. I just tried out version 1.0.2, and it's pretty nice: little icon in the menu bar, compact preferences dialog, easy enough to set up (although the instructions could be atiny bit clearer). After Pages '09 screwed me up twice, crashing and taking all my unsaved work with it, I am a happy camper now, having found this software. Free, too. Cool! [alert admin]

Logitech Control Center 2.7 (Mac OS X)
Screw you, Logitech, for not being able to get a decent driver together that supports your current products. [alert admin]

Power Game Factory 1.1 (Mac OS X)
What? You can only try this thing out for TEN MINUTES?? Hell, it's supposed to be a development environment, right? Will I be able to throw together a game and test it within ten minutes? Don't think so. Thanks for the heads-up, previous poster... I won't bother downloading this. [alert admin]

Picturesque 2.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Expensive, yes, but not bad at all
I agree, it is a bit pricey for what it does ($19 seems more appropriate), but it does have a very nice interface, which allows you to do some quick effects to an image (like giving it rounded corners, reflection, frame, all with a bunch of options). Nothing you couldn't do with Photoshop as well, but much quicker and more streamlined. Maybe not for everyone, but it certainly is a nice piece of software. And now please go and cut the price in half. [alert admin]

DRM Converter 3.3.1 (Mac OS X)
All this program does is burning your protected songs (.m4p) to a CD, then rip that CD to MP3. You can do the very same thing all within iTunes, FOR FREE. Maybe you need to click one two more buttons that way, but I doubt that pressing two more buttons is worth $29.
What really ticks me off is that the developer seems to think that users are stupid. In the application windows it says: "If you try to play protected music on a non-Apple player you get silence, after conversion you hear musc, so using this program improves the quality on non-Apple players". Wow - music is "improved quality" compared to silence. You don't say.
Then again, whoever pays 29 bucks for this piece of bloatware probably is dumb enough to need that information. [alert admin]

And how exactly would 64 bit help this app?? In what way would it be better if it came in 64 bit flavor? Exactly.

Sorry? You beta test this software and you still have to pay for it??? You must be joking. If these people (= developers) don't give their beta testers free copies, they don't deserve to get any penny from us.

Dude, you need to chill. Apple decides what's available where...

If you rate your own product, try to make it look a bit less obvious. Nobody in their right mind would write a whole frickin' ESSAY about a piece of shareware... if they didn't write it themselves and are desperately trying to flog it.

Ah, the XTorrent developer drops by! :-)
Dude, if you don't like this product, fine. But instead of posting such a lame comment, try making your own software better.

"no way should they let this sort of thing happen" - huh?? Bad bad Apple for (intentionally, I bet!) breaking the functionality of a P2P program mainly used for getting pirated movies/software/music/porn/etc... Yeah, right.

Has a similar name to the Apple "Mac" line of computers (http://www.apple.com). Possibly copyright problem? ;-)
