WriteIt! 3.4 (Mac OS X)

Like detective Friday used to say: Just give us the facts.  

Found it painful getting through the first few lines of lame marketing hype. The rest of the product description is just plain fluff. Wordy, windy. Developer, please read Elements of Style. Then revise your description for conciseness and clarity. Be brutal in hacking away the underbrush. This is a software site, not an infomercial. [alert admin]

CopyPaste Pro 2.0.5 (Mac OS X)

Best clip utility available, without question.  

I love my Macs and the first two apps I install are CopyPaste and Spell Catcher. I've used CopyPaste for about a decade and I'm one of those who loved some of the earlier versions and usually thought it could not get better. But it did. The Pro version is now light years ahead of any clip utility I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot of them}. I may finally know why I love the new version so much. At first, there's a bit of a learning curve. CP Pro has a ton of features, options, and text manipulation tools, so it's natural that it would take a while to learn what they all do. But, as I used the new version, almost imperceptibly, I found that many of my repetitive tasks were going faster, smoother and easier than ever before. When I thought about it, the only reasonable answer I could come up with is this: using CopyPaste Pro is now so logical, so intuitive and so flexible that - with practice, of course - I can use it almost without thinking. Paste all saved items at one time? No problem. Reverse the order of saved clips, before pasting? No problem. Need to edit a saved clip before pasting or saving it? No problem. Want to create an archive to save text, symbols or images you use often? No problem (I have about eight of them!). Choosing the best multi-clipboard app ever created. No Problem. Am I affiliated with the developer. No. I just use CopyPaste a hundred times, or more, each day so I know how helpful it is in my work. [alert admin]

ReadingGuide 1.1 (Mac OS X)

Check Activity Monitor for CPU use  

Tried for a few minutes. Looks like it could be useful in isolating portions of web page being read, etc. But when I tried to dump the original .zip file the app had been downloaded in, the Finder quit. Finally, while running ReadingGuide I checked Activity Monitor and it showed RG using between 60% and 80%+ of the CPU. I dumped the app immediately. Nice try, but no cigar. [alert admin]

Carbon Copy Cloner 2.3 (Mac OS X)

Terrific application  

I'm still using version 2.3. I've cloned my hard drive each month for several years with zero problems. This is one fo the few apps I have this much confidence in. I donated a couple of times and consider it money well spent. Guess it's about time to "upgrade," though my present copy still works flawlessly. [alert admin]

MeshWrite 1.0.5 (Mac OS X)

62.00?  

62.00 for a notepad and stickies app. This is a joke, right? I wouldn't pay you $62.00 for this thing, even if it included your running to my house, as needed, to type the notes out for me. [alert admin]

LaunchBar 5.0 beta 3 (Mac OS X)

Wow!  

Hey, don't laugh. This isn't just another decrepit one-trick pony. No sir! Actually I own a license to an older version. Stopped using it long ago because Spotlight does everything LaunchBar will do, and just as fast. The main difference is that Spotlight costs... ...oh, yeah...Spotlight is FREE! [alert admin]

CopyPaste Pro 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)

Archive feature is great  

This is the one feature I didn't use in older versions of CP. With the new CopyPaste Pro the Archive works perfectly, I now use it all the time. It's like the old Scrapbook, on steroids. Thanks for a great app! [alert admin]

CopyPaste Pro 1.0 (Mac OS X)

This is the best version yet!  

I've used CopyPaste for years. It's always been a "must-have" app on my computers. And to tell you the truth, I didn't think it could get much better. I was wrong. The new CP Pro v1 *is* better. Much, much better. I collect a ton of information and do a lot of writing, so I use CopyPaste all day long. The new version makes my work SO much easier. Would I recommend CopyPaste to a friend? Absolutely! [alert admin]

Fair enough, many Americans think the US is the whole world  

Can't really say what I'm thinking, so please use your own creativity to imagine the snarkiest answer possible...

Unresponsive Support  

Ridiculous. I can remember two fairly recent problems I've reported to the developer. In BOTH cases a fix was made and the new version made available on versiontracker the VERY SAME DAY. Who could ask for better response. I guess the developer could park in your driveway, in case you need him. That, might please you.

Developer seems awfully impressed with him/herself!  

--Contributed by: Kudrabar 02-15-09 08:02PM --Product Platform: MacOSX --Used Product For: Have Not Tried === Kudrabar, why would you post such a nasty message about software you have not tried? Maybe you have other problems? In any case CopyPaste has been on my computers for ages and it has ALWAYS worked well. I can't tell you how much time and effort it saves me, and I use it countless times every single day. Have a nice day.

aggressively marketed app- AVOID!!!  

You really need to get a grip. The apps you're slamming have worked flawlessly for me: CopyPaste for well over a decade, Bean for over a year.. It would be a good idea for you to slow down, and maybe take some computer classes to learn more about how to use a computer AND software. Then maybe you won't feel the need to jump off a cliff when you experience minor problems. I once had a friend…

Get a grip people...  

Pea brain? Why do you come here and insult people? Who do you thihk you are? These members have every to share their opinion of this software AND its developer and his tactics. That's is what this site is for. If you can't deal with that, then YOU should be the one to leave. You have added NOTHING to this site through your needless and stupid insults. Go away, please!

Forget this software  

I checked out this link because I was surprised they are still trying to sell this product. Like you, I bought a license many years ago. And, like you I have NEVER had a need to use it. I remember trying to open one file with MacLink and it couldn't open it. One lousy file in all these years, and it couldn't handle it. Tsk, tsk... Buying this software was the biggest computer related mistake I…
