QuickVoice Recorder 1.0 (iPhone)

Great features, but...  

The features are great. You can title your voice files after recording. You can pause both recording ("Now, what was I going to say next?") and playback. Plans are also in the works to sync with the desktop application. The problem? Sound quality is terrible. If you don't have a lisp, you will after recording. A free application for iPhone, Voice Record, lacks several of the features of QuickVoice but sounds much better, and it's free. I hope the developers of the iPhone application will fix the sound. Then, it's an easy 5 stars. Until then, I couldn't, in good conscience, rate it that high. [alert admin]

Voice Record 1.0 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Great for the price  

The playback volume is nice and loud. You can title your recordings but only prior to recording, and that can be a bit of a problem if you don't have the luxury of time to set it up. QuickVoice for the iPhone has much more in the way of features (pausing during recording or playback and future syncing with their desktop application), but it'll cost you a few bucks. However, if free is what you want, and you don't need any bells or whistles, Voice Record should fit the bill. [alert admin]

iconXprit 1.0.3 (Mac OS X)

Well, it almost works  

I was able to change the color of a folder, but the text I added did not stick... unless I need to restart the Finder to get it to work. I would, however, prefer not to. [alert admin]

Nikon Capture NX 1.3.3 (Mac OS X)

Yup, another dissatisfied customer  

Couldn't even open the .dmg file. Got a message that it was not valid. Went to the Nikon website and downloaded it. Same thing. Then, I noticed instructions for the .dmg file at the bottom of the page. It reads: Installation: Create a new folder on the hard disk and name it appropriately. Download "CNX133NSAEN.dmg" to the folder created in step 1. Run "CNX133NSAEN.dmg" from the Windows Explorer to launch the updater software. Follow the on-screen instructions to correctly complete the update. I looked all over on my MAC for WINDOWS EXPLORER but couldn't locate it. I also have a Nikon film/slide scanner that also has Mac software issues. I've had about enough. [alert admin]

Speed Download 5.0.1 (Mac OS X)

What a fabulous application!  

This application is supreme at what it does. The company diligently produces timely, quality updates, and if you have a problem or questions, the response is quick. The last time I had a problem, they emailed a response the same day with jpeg images to illustrate what I needed to do. Needless to say, I was impressed. As for the v5 update, I, a fairly long-time user, was required to pay the upgrade fee for moving up a whole version number, and I did it gladly, because the new version was more than just a number. It was a major improvement in functionality. Of course, v4.x still works great, and for the price MacHeist purchasers paid, they really have little, if anything, to complain about. What they got is still an excellent deal. Oh, and I doubt that the developers of this app padded the VersionTracker user feedback. They just don't seem the type. [alert admin]

Quay 1.1b3 (Mac OS X)

Mac OS X 10.5.2 has not made this little gem obsolete  

What it has done, as with other fine 3rd party applications that extend the functionality of our operating system of choice, is to provide additional options that make it easily worth the 7 euros or 10 dollars. On top of that, the developer works feverishly to provide continued refinements and unsurpassed support. [alert admin]

Quay 1.1b1 (Mac OS X)

Great Utility, Phenomenal Update  

It was a great utility to begin with, and although Apple will supposedly revamp doc folder functionality in 10.5.2, the improvements in Quay will keep it way ahead. My hat's off to the developer for his hard work. My money was well spent. [alert admin]

Cover Stream 1.3 (Mac OS X)

Woohoo!  

Growl support! Yes! I'd notch this application up another half star from my earlier 4 stars, but I'll just have to round it up to 5. This developer rocks. Two out of my 3 emailed requests have come to fruition. Nothing like watching my shareware fee dollars in action. [alert admin]

Cover Stream 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)

Excellent and Improving  

Growing up as I did before the advent of the CD, it nice to be able to flip through my albums in full screen mode. Also, you can flip the album over, if you'd like, a la the iPhone/iPod Touch interface, and choose a specific track. This application also provides global hot keys. In combination with Fetch Art, it provides me with almost all the functionality of Synergy. Things I would like to see? Growl support would be nice, and if it can eventually download cover art, it may begin to replace all the other applications I've been using for managing and listening to my iTunes library.

Synergy 3.5a2 (Mac OS X)

Great app but problems with the latest release and Leopard  

I've been using Synergy since its initial release some years ago and have always found it to be the best for controlling iTunes globally as well as adding album art. This version has some problems though. Not only must I go to the preference pane to start it each time I boot my computer (it doesn't remember to start at login), but I must also go that route every time it crashes, and it has been crashing 2-3 times per day. I will be sending the crash log to the developer. Hopefully these problems will be fixed in a soon-to-be-released update. [alert admin]

opaque is not a good thing  

Not to argue your point, but you meant, I assume, "translucency" or "transparency," not "opaque." You cannot see through opaque.

Constant Refreshing  

I experienced the same problem. However, for me, it required precisely two refreshes each time.

New User… RTFM  

You need to install it first, then access the Desktop and Screensaver System Preference. Choose Longest Day from the list and then you'll see. It you are unfamiliar with installation and use, it really does help if you read the "Longest Day 1.0 FAQ."

Synchronization?  

Missing Sync for BlackBerry, as far as I know, is not yet available. I did receive an email from Mark/Space, checking for interest in just such a product. I do not know if they have decided one way or the other. PocketMac does, however, have free software to sync between the BlackBerry and Macs. This is now being supported by RIM; although syncing for me seems to be hit-or-miss.

Boo! Hiss!  

I know it's only a small point, but Smart Folders ARE available. Got to the Script menu and down to Smart Groups. There you will find several options.
