CaptureIt! 1.4.0 (Mac OS X)
I want to shake the hand of this developer. Yes, it is different in the way you might typically expect it to work. But just spend 5 minutes with it and you will be amazed at what it can do for a more than reasonable price! Captures are brilliantly simple, videos are easily generated. It can even record the audio from an application in the process. The interface is highly polished, fast and quite beautiful. I wish I had purchased this one before trying all the others. I guess I had to leave the best for last. Try it. If you're not impressed and amazed, I'll be shocked. Bravo! [alert admin]

iCash X 5.5 (Mac OS X)
Cannot Properly Evaluate / Import Issues
This product looks like it could be a winner. Unfortunately, I cannot properly test it. Software developers need to get away from the transaction limit trial. I am not going to buy an application without being able to put it through it's paces. Allowing only 100 transactions is just silly. I have years of transactions that I want to import to see just how robust the application performs. Trial software should just lock up after the trial period (30 days is always nice). Prospective buyers need to be able to test it thoroughly before plunking down the cash. The import seems to have an issue as well. When I selected to import a QIF with the option "All", which should have imported all of my accounts, categories and transactions, I received a prompt to define an account. It appears that you have to import accounts one at a time? I hope not. There's no way I'm going to take the time to do that. It's import all or nothing from my perspective. I hope the developer changes the trial model and the import issue so that I can really give this application a proper shakedown. I'll be watching. [alert admin]

iFinance 3.0.8 (Mac OS X)
I really want to like this application...
I really want to like this application. Germany has some of the best developers I've ever known. I downloaded this latest version to give it another try. I exported my account data from Moneydance into a QIF file, then proceeded to import all of the transactions into iFinance. I have been waiting 10 minutes now and the import is still not completed. My PowerMac fans are running full bore. I waited another 5 minutes. It appeared to fnish; however, I am having trouble clicking around in the application. It seems to be hanging up. Even though the screen freed up for a few moments, I did not see all of my accounts. I'm guessing it is digesting the information... still. My fans are going full out again. Waiting, waiting. OK. It finished and is it slow!. If you want an application that is reliable, fast and gives you the most bang for the buck, Moneydance still is the winner in this personal finance category.

Intego VirusBarrier X5 10.5.8 (Mac OS X)
All I can say is that my performance and system slowdowns miraculously went away when I uninstalled this product. I know it gets great reviews, but everytime my system would come to a screeching halt, I would see a great many threads running VirusBarrier services. My Mac is screaming fast again after removing this product. That's all I know. [alert admin]

Jungle Disk 2.61 (Mac OS X)
What's not to love? Powered by RackSpace!
This product runs on every major OS platform, is easily configurable, provides network drive access in addition to backup, allows you to store as many versions as you want, and is available at a ridiculously reasonable price of .15/GB! If you use the RackSpace cloud instead of Amazon S3, you do not have to pay transfer or bandwidth charges. Just storage. That's it! Try it. I think you'll like it. No other vendor out there offers so much for so little. [alert admin]

iDrive 1.3.6 (Mac OS X)
Still no private encryption key for Mac
They recommend you pick your own private encryption key, then note as the very last line in their product description that this is NOT available on the Mac. I wouldn't recommend it until private encryption key support is available. Otherwise, they store the system encryption key on their servers and unauthorized access by iDrive personnel or hackers is possible. [alert admin]

iCash X 5.4.4 (Mac OS X)
If only it could directly download bank statements, it would be perfect! The interface is native Mac. It's fast, easy, intuitive, flexible. I was quite surprised at what a great application it is. Seems to be a best kept secret! [alert admin]

Apple Safari 4.0.2 (Mac OS X)
Eventually Hangs Up and Forces Reboot
Don't leave Safari running. Close it when you are done with it. Something is going on where if it is left up running it seems to bring your system to its knees. Looking at Activity Monitor I can see nothing going on. CPU utilization is below 10%. Not sure what else to look for. Any ideas appreciate. Killing every running application did not seem to help. I had to reboot to get my system performance back to normal. Very weird. [alert admin]

Got it to work. Delete ALL traces of the application before installing (i.e. application support, preferences files and the application(s) themselves). Empty the trash and install again. Worked for me. Crazy.

Why are you charging for a beta?
They are not. That is an error. The pricing is .15/GB flat rate. See jungledisk.com for more info.

You are right. I was disappointed as well. It does seem faster and I like the new interface, but it is very unstable. I even had it crash and it left the icon in the dock and I could not force quit.

Frankly, I am shocked by this individual's experience. Jeff Hendrickson and I have communicated on many occasions, not only to answer questions I may have, but to brainstorm ideas for the product. I have found him to be friendly and approachable, knowledgeable and very generous with his time. He responds quickly and is very willing to help anyone having difficulty. I also find Purify to be very stable and flexible, better than most of the…
