PDFKey Pro 3.6.1 (Mac OS X)
So far, each time I have needed to unlock a PDF Document, this program has worked and seemingly with little effort. It is very easy to use. [alert admin]

Daylite 3.5.1 (Mac OS X)
I have read the complaints that some have regarding Daylite and I have to agree that the program is not perfect. However, I have used every CRM program for the Mac and can say that there are no programs, that I am aware of, that can compare. It is the most sophisticated Contact Management Program available on for the MAC.
Here are some of the reasons I like the program:
1. A RELATIONAL DATABASE: It is a relational database that intuitively links every aspect of your interaction with a contact and his organization. For example, it keeps track of all To Do's associated with a contact and even the contacts employer or organization. It keeps track of every appointment you have ever had or communication you have had with a person or organization. It links multiple contacts to one organization and even links multiple contacts together.
2. BUILT IN WORD PROCESSING: It has built in word processing that allows you to generate custom designed merged letters and reports for mailing or presentation.
3. IT LINKS CONTACTS TO APPLE MAIL: Imagine being able to instantly tell a contact about every email he has ever sent you or received from you. It does this with almost no involvement by you. You tell Daylite what you want it to keep track of and it does it! This is really powerful if you are a person that deals with many contacts.
4. POWERFUL TASK MANAGEMENT: The Task List (To Do List) Management is also very powerful. I read one comment from a person who complained that a program required to many clicks to complete simple tasks. With Daylite, setting up tasks and appointments are very simple. You will even have the option of having the program email notifications to you or just beep or display a message on screen. And unlike many Task Lists such as that which is provided in iCal, it will allow 5 levels of prioritization. I think that is ridiculous to have a task list with only "Very Important", "Important" or "Not Important" as priority levels. That is the arrangement that is set up in many programs but not Daylite. If you have a lot of Tasks to complete on a daily basis, you know that 3 levels of priority just will not do!
5. APPOINTMENTS ARE WELL IMPLEMENTED: The calendar in this program is well integrated with the rest of the program. Rather that giving you a separate program like "Now Contact", the calendar and appointments are linked automatically with the contact and the contact's organization.
6. YOU CAN EMAIL DIRECTLY FROM DAYLITE: This is a great feature! I have about 4,000 contacts in my database and sometimes have to email to hundreds at a time. There is no other program that I know of that will allow this to happen with just one or two key strokes!
7. IT SYNC'S WITH ICAL, ADDRESS BOOK, PALM, AND ALMOST ANY OTHER PROGRAM OR DEVICE THAT USES APPLE SYNC SERVICES: If you are like me, you want to take your information with you everywhere. When I am not in front of my computer, my Palm has all the information on it. This includes every appointment, task, contact, company, etc that would be accessible from my computer.
8. IT AUTOMATES A SERIES OF TASKS FOR YOU: If you have a series of things that you need to remember to do [such as hire and train personnel; make sales presentations, set up patients in a medical facility, prepare legal briefs; or almost any series of appointments, tasks, etc] Daylite can schedule all of your appointments and tasks associated with a particular activity for you over days and weeks in advance - and all with just a few key strokes. I have never seen any program operate like this.
9. THE DEVELOPERS ARE FREQUENTLY UPDATING AND IMPROVING THE PROGRAMS PERFORMANCE: If you read some of the replies to the complaints posted on this website, you will see that they themselves have made replies to the apparent difficulties that some have had. They are constantly working on cutting edge innovations for the program. I loved the simplicity of Now Contact and still own the most current version. But, when was the last time you have seen any updates coming from it's programmers. I have been waiting to see the result of Night Hawk which they say will be a huge improvement over their current product. But, this has been a long time coming.
THE TRUTH IS THAT I COULD GO ON ALL DAY WRITING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF USING A PROGRAM LIKE THIS!!! I have used Entourage, Daylite, Palm Desktop, the Apple programs, Now Contact and Now Up To Date and many others for years. None of them deserve to even be compared to this product.
THE DOWNSIDE: There is a learning curve that comes with purchasing Daylite. It is not like every other program that you have used!!!! It is not the CRM Program for Dummies [No Insult there] Sometimes I wish it were. I want a program that I could use mindlessly, without learning anything. But, because of all the sophistication that is built into this program, you have to read the manual. The programmers have even made many training videos that you could watch that will bring you up to speed. It is easy to use for the basic and simple things like set up an appointment or task, but this programs offers so much more! You can do WORD PROCESSING, Calendar Management, Contact Management, Project Management, Opportunity Management, Tasks, Notes, and more.
This program, like any other, is a work in progress. But, comparing it to any other program would be like comparing a Mercedes to a Hugo.

KeepOn 1.1 (Palm OS)
This program is indispensible for those who use their Palm as a timer or stop watch. It prevents the Palm from powering down and keeps the screen active. It is a very simple program that does exactly what it says: It keeps the Palm On until you decide otherwise. I use a Palm Treo 700p. [alert admin]

AppZapper 1.3.0 (Mac OS X)
This Is A Great But Simple Program 
I have used this program for about five months and have found it indispensible. With the availability of so many downloadable programs, it is easy to load up your hard drive with hundreds of programs. Unfortunately, Apple has failed to provide a simple way of completely removing installed programs and their associated files from your hard drive. And, worse than that, programers have not consistantly provided uninstallers. This developer has provided a program that is easy to use, has a great user interface, offers really interesting sound effects, and at a price of only $12.99, I think it's a steal! I used it to remove about 4 Gigabites of junk from my hard drive. This program came at the right time. At the time my 100 gig drive was loaded and I needed the space to install some important programs. This program took care of the problem in minutes. I think this program has earned 5 stars! If you would like to remove the hundreds, even thousands of junk files from your computer, I think you will find this program useful. By the way, I was originally going to rate the documentation 3 stars since I didn't read it. Then remembered why I didn't read it. When you open the program, the documentation that shows you how to use the program only consisted of 3 words! The program window simply instructs by saying: "Drag Apps Here". And guess what, the program does the rest. Who needs complicated programs where you have to read volumes before you can use the product. I don't know about you but I am very busy and don't have the time. In fact, I rarely write reviews because I just don't have time for it. And, NO, I do not work for the developer nor do I even care about who he is. His product just works! [alert admin]

Apple Security Update 2005-009 (Mac OS X)
This Update Installed Flawlessly
I had no problems with the installation of this update. My PowerBook G4 works great. I also own about 16 PC's and would like to throw them all out the window. They are a source of constant headaches and wish I could replace them with MACS. [alert admin]

DayLite Mail Integration Module 1.2 (Mac OS X)
The Best Mail Intergration Module Ever!!
This is a must have for anyone who manages many contacts and relationships. This module links with the Daylite Contact Manager and records all emails sent to and received from you contacts and places the messages right in your contacts record. You can now have, at a glance, views of all the communication that was received from and sent to every contact in your database. This is great for me since I now have more that 4,000 contacts in my database. Download Daylite and the Mail Integration Module. There is a stiff learning curve for Daylite but it will pay for itself in the end. There is no other program for the Mac that compares! [alert admin]

DayLite 1.7.4 (Mac OS X)
There Is No Other Program that Compares!!
I have tried many other Contact Management programs and have found no other with the power of Daylite. I used Now Up to Date / Now Contact for years and gave up waiting for them to update their antiquated program. I tried Microsoft Entourage for more than a year and found that is was a great Email program but terrible as a CRM program. The Apple programs are nice if you have a small database. And, I tried at least 4 or 5 other similar products. For the Mac OS, there is no other serious contender! I have over 4,000 active records in my contact database. Daylite effortlessly keeps tract of them all. This program is not perfect. None is. It comes with a steep learning curve but once you understand the power of this program you will never go back to the other simplistic and basic programs available for the Mac today. Daylite is the only product that allows those using a Mac to compete with PC Users who have access to comparatively better programs. It handles mass emailing, customer letters, mail merge, prints envelopes (no Bar Coding), projects sales and income forcasts, keeps track of incoming and outgoing email, dials the phone and makes a record of the call, manages relationships between multiple contacts and companies, has customizable fields, produces graphs and charts reflecting sales and income projection, and much much more!!! I especially like it because it sync's with my Palm T3 allowing me to keep all my contact data current and available even when my computer is shut down. In addition, the company has been very responsive to suggestions for improvement and routinely issues free updates. It's intergration with Apple Mail is so good that I have abandoned using Entourage as my primary email program. (I thought that would never happen!) Now I have a record attached to each person in Daylite of any email I have sent or received from them. Sure, Entourage has the ability to do something similar but not with the same ease of use that Daylite provides. I can read the entire email messages from inside Daylite. It is really awsome!!! I just wish it was easier to get a Tech Support person on the phone. But, they have compensated with many How To Video clips that you can download off of their website. And, if you leave them a message or send an email they always get back to you. Everyone has their individual needs that might not be fully addressed in Daylite. But, no program provides everything we need. For me, Daylite is not perfect but is truly the best Customer Relationship program available!!! [alert admin]

Passwords Plus 1.003 (Palm OS)
A simple but very useful product!
I'm surprised that there are no reviewis for this product. I have used it for almost a year now and find that it is better than carrying a pocket full of credit cards. I have numerous passwords for bankng, credit cards, web access, etc. This palm program sync's with my PowerBook and holds all the access information I need. It also has the ability to customize layouts for the storage of various data. I once thought that this would be a useless program since the data can be stored in other places on your computer. But, I was very wrong! Try it, and you will buy it. It's just that good!! I do think, however, that it is a little overpriced, but I would still recommend you buy it. [alert admin]

It's not reasonable to give an application a poor rating because you couldn't get a satisfactory answer to a question. I have used Agendus, as well as many other Contact Management applications, for many years. I have found no other application built for the Palm that works as well and has as many features. If you have a problem with the functionality of the app, comment on that so that we can…
