LiteSwitch X 2.5 (Mac OS X)
Yeah, Thanks A Bunch, Proteron
Thank you, Proteron, for fixing the bug that prevented people from logging out of their computer. It's nice that you fixed it in May 2005. I reported this bug to you in November 2003. That's only a matter of ... er, hmmm, uhh, let's see ... oh, just 18 MONTHS that any user who had their Dock set to auto-hide found your product unusable as a result. I registered this product a long time ago. If I could go back and reverse that decision, I would. VersionTracker readers, I strongly urge you to spend your money elsewhere on Macintosh developers that actually stand behind their products and and pay attention to their customers even after they've received the money.

QuicKeys 3.0 (Mac OS X)
WCityMike is out of line
I'll never find much wisdom in people who feel that it's wrong to criticize a product just because they find it beloved.
he hasn't even seen the product but finds time to bad mouth the company
I don't need to download the product to believe that $100 is a ridiculous amount for a macro product, and that it correlates to past unethical behavior (charging $16 for bug fixes) I directly experienced as a former QuicKeys user.
because he doesn't want to pay for anything
Correction: I don't want to OVERPAY for anything. There's a rather significant difference.
My Mac is rockin now!!

QuicKeys 3.0 (Mac OS X)
$100 is Just Symptomatic of This Company's Skewed Mindset ...
I'm so very much unsurprised that QuicKeys is now charging $99.95 for their product. They've always had a history of horrifically overcharging their customers, beginning with asking $15.95 for a v1.0-v1.5 upgrade price that was almost entirely a compilation of much needed bug fixes. There are plenty of other programs out there from companies that respect their users, such as iKey (formerly Youpi Key), Keyboard Maestro, and many others (including some freeware programs, if you're only looking to program your function keys). If you make the mistake of paying $100 for this overpriced piece of junk, expect to continue paying out the nose for every point release and bug fix. Ever since CE (now "Startly") tried to pull that junk on me, I've been quite happy with one of their competitors. Trust me, you will be too. [alert admin]

Liquid Ledger 1.3.1 (Mac OS X)
No Demo Available -- Loss of Potential Customers
At the moment, there appears to be no way to obtain a demo of the product, and, no offense, but I'm not about to spend what they're asking without even having had a chance to futz with the product a little bit and see what it makes my QIF data look like. Yes, I see that a 30-day free trial is in the works, and at one point they offered a save-disabled free trial, but they appear to be in a space where one is no longer available and one hasn't been posted yet. Thus, they're losing potential customers in the interim ... [alert admin]

MenuCalendarClock 1.5.0 (Mac OS X)
Stealing Freeware and Making Us Pay For It
I have a strong philosophical objection to this product. They took two excellent freeware products, MenuCalendar and CalendarClock, neither of which they produced themselves, and combined them into a single exorbitantly priced product. To me, this is the opposite of contributing to the Macintosh community; this is theft and greed personified. [alert admin]

iKey 2.0b10 (Mac OS X)
Oh, my God. A major disaster in the making ...
To the developer, since he's monitoring VT comments: extremely awful interface. I may give a good look at the manual and see if I can work on it, as I like a challenge and LOVE iKey 1.x, but there is absolutely no way that this interface will work in the long run for your customers, and one look at your interface makes me contemplate sticking in 1.x. I'm serious: this is a major problem that's going to run the possibility of ceasing your sales. Listen, you can do amazing things with C++ and MySQL and various other powerful tools out there. Want to know why they're not in common usage? They're horribly awful to learn! If you don't do an incredibly major overhaul on this awful interface, you run the risk of this being a very expensive failure for your company. [alert admin]

MenuCalendarClock 1.0.0b1 (Mac OS X)
ObjectPark Software ... a mini-Microsoft!
This is horrid news. ObjectPark Software bought out the formerly free MenuCalendar and then made us start paying for it. Now, they buy out a freeware competitor. Hey, Mac fans, if you're sick of ObjectPark Software trying to make you pay for a calendar display on your machine, try using GeekTool to show the results of 'cal' on your desktop. Or, hey, ObjectPark, maybe you could buy them out, too. [alert admin]

> Wow..that is nasty. Way to support a software company. Software companies don't receive support by default. They receive support BY EARNING IT. CE hasn't. > but to sit here and bad-mouth the whole company is rather childish Hardly. For me to make profanities or childish implications about the programmers themselves would be childish. For me to tell you precisely why I dislike the product is reasonable. Would anyone who thinks as I…

So this individual wrote to Griffin, and they wrote him back asking him questions about his problem and providing him with tips that they believed might help him solve his problem. He for some nonunderstandable reason found that 'stupid' and prematurely cut off the conversation, and then posts a review to VersionTracker trashing them. Frankly, this sounds like a classic case of the user being at fault.

Great Candidate for PerversionTracker ...
Your explanation seems highly doubtful, although as I have no programming experience, I can't really speak to anything but the general feeling that it's not valid. As for it looking like crap because the developers believe it has to have the ability to run on a chip set (the 68xxx) that was superceded a very, very long time ago, and on an operating system version (7.0) which is over 13 years old ... well,…
