Papaya 1.0.3 (Mac OS X)

Hello...LightHeadSW...anybody home!  

Just like the previous reviewer, I emailed support May 6th for help with setting up my port mapping because I am having trouble getting Papaya to work. I know it is just with my settings, so I just asked what they should be. Nothing. Nada. Not a peep from them. I even told them I am a license holder (won a license from another web site). Granted, it has only been a week and a half, but my advice to anyone thinking about buying is to make sure it works for you as is because most likely, you won't be getting any help from this company. I'll post again if/when I hear from them and let everyone know if I get any customer service. [alert admin]

Videobox 2.7 (Mac OS X)

Give us more info!  

Hey TastyApps, why don't you tell us what is new with the latest release?? If it could be found on your web site, fine. But it is no where to be found. Such information might go a long way in helping sales for you, since maybe you guys fixed something that prevented a sale before. [alert admin]

Visage 2.4.2 (Mac OS X)

#1 Choice  

Had a little time on my hands, so I tested a few apps (xBack, Visage, DeskSaver, DesktopSaver, and Wallsaver). xBack and Visage are shareware, the others are freeware. In a nutshell, you get what you pay for. xBack and Visage are feature rich compared to the others. I wanted to like xBack, but with activity monitor opened to watch the amount of real memory usage and CPU, I was quite surprised. With xBack running, switch around between various screen savers. Doing this, the real memory jumped from around 20mb to more than 300mb, and as somone else stated, CPU usage was around 40% or more. Also, after switching screen savers a few times, some of them failed to load the second time around. It was enough to give me cause for concern. I am running an intel iMac with 10.5.2. Visage had none of these problems, plus it offers more features to customize your mac. It is a preference pain, not a stand alone app. One of its preferences allows you to choose 5 different levels of CPU usage. I used the lowest setting, switched around my various screen savers numerous times, and the real memory stayed around 20-30mb, with CPU usage dependent on the specific screen saver. A more complex saver used more CPU, but when you chose a simple one, the CPU usage came back down. As for the freeware, they all worked to get your screen saver on your desktop, but that was basically it. No ability to change savers from the program, can't look at the individual savers options, no randomizing, etc. But they worked, and their screensaver engines used roughly the same amount of memory/CPU as Visage. My favorite of the free group was Wallsaver. But if I get such a product, Visage would be my #1 choice. [alert admin]
