Sony eBook Library Software 3.0 (Mac OS X)

Slow, unresponsive, generally buggy...

Remember the spinning rainbow pizza? Install this and you can rediscover its hypnotic power. This software is so badly thought out. Example: the interface is based loosely on iTunes, but when you click on the computer icon to browse your Hard drive for text files you can only navigate one way - down. If you want to go back up to an enclosing folder or even the root of your hard drive too bad. But then nobody would need to do that would they?! [alert admin]

Transmission 1.73 (Mac OS X)

Infinite progress bars appeared in 1.73 release

Transmission is my preferred bit torrent client. It's great. However, a cosmetic bug has appeared in the current release. The progress bars go on for ever - even if you resize the app window you can't see the end of the bars! [alert admin]

Acquisition 2.0 build 209 (Mac OS X)

A waste of time and money.

A waste of time and money. Can't believe I paid for this sh**t. [alert admin]

MoviesForMyPod/PSP/Phone 1.5 (Mac OS X)

Didn't this used to be free?!

I'm sure this used to be free. $59 seems too much for the basic features of this app. There are still plenty of free alternatives... I suppose. [alert admin]

SerialMailer 5.6.2 (Mac OS X)

Pretty good product - destined for greatness.

I think this is a good product. I use it quite often and find it fairly intuitive to get going with in the beginning. Some things still need a bit of work however - for instance, if you enter the wrong SMTP server details and try to send mail it can hangs and when you click the cancel button nothing happens - which leads you to a force quite situation. Despite these kind of rough edges I still think it's a great piece of software with a future, certainly the best of it's kind / in it's price range for the Mac. [alert admin]

Skype 2.0.0.6 (Mac OS X)

Incomplete second rate version for the Mac - as usual.

This version, unlike the PC version 2.5, has no SMS funtionality. Thanks Skype. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 2.0.4 (Mac OS X)

Safari menu services for apple mail broken?

I can no longer send safari content via apple mail through the services menu in safari (Safari/Services/Mail/Send Selection). Any one else notice this? I'm not 100% sure that this safari update killed it - or if it was due to one of the last 2 security patches. I have no other problems with my system. [alert admin]

PithHelmet 2.6.5 (Mac OS X)

Frequent crashes with Ebay searches

PithHelmet used to work great until I upgraded to Tiger - now it crashes frequently when searching Ebay. I finally trashed it and replaced it with an ad-blocking CSS file from floppymoose.com combined with a Plug-in called SafariBlock. Safari has not crashed at all (after 6 days heavy use) it is Ad free - and it seems faster than it ever was with PitHelmet!!! Ollieman.net has packaged the css file and SafariBlock plugin with instructions on how to install here: http://ollieman.net/code/adblocking/ If you are getting crashes with PithHelmet like I was I recommend trying this approach.

Yank 1.2 (Mac OS X)

Suckiest app I've seen for a while

This app is ridiculous. When you ask it to un-install itself it can't even do that properly. Do a search afterwards and you will find 'yank.log' and 'yank.plist' hanging around. Oh, and a folder called 'Matterform media'. And they expect people to pay for this? [alert admin]

Infinite progress bars appeared in 1.73 release

OK - I found an option in preferences to 'automatically size window to fit all transfers'. Either this had become unchecked during the auto update - or it's a new option / feature. Note to developers: this really should be checked by default.

It Just Crashes

Yes, it does this to me too. Every time I revisit a site where auto fill is active it quits the whole app. Messy. If I uncheck the auto fill feature in the preferences it doesn't quit - but doesn't auto fill (of course). Pity.
