Save your $39 for something else and get the free Hugin instead. It has a bit more of a learning curve, but at least it's free and produced great results for me on the same test.

Unlike some, i wasn't happy with EITHER the interface, or the results.
The UI is far too hands-off. It's basically load the images, let'er rip, and hope something worthwhile pops out.
What does can be okay, or a disaster.
Many prefs feel like they should be controls, instead.
Feels a bit "hack-ish" for $40!

It is so simple in its interface, it almost feels like it is "too easy" to give the sophisticated results it does. Yet it does give stunning results. Even with a less than perfectly taken series it finds and matches all the points, as well as adjusting exposure - including that problematic sky exposure matching and blending.
Excellent value for the price - pays for itself in a couple of painless panos. I could get addicted to this.

But...
The results are astounding ! I threw some of my most difficult panorama source images at it and it produced output that's better than I currently have (made with the excellent DoubleTake). You don't need to manually adjust anything, it just works. It takes quite a long time to work it's magic, but I suppose that's because it's doing quite in-depth analysis.
It's a bit unstable (still beta though), and the interface is not Mac like enough - but I would still consider buying this because the results are so good.

I took many picturesque panoramas using the camera's 'stitch assist' function, but found it hard and time-consuming to stitch them together in photoshop. It took skill and knowledge to acheive the results I did, and decided to check out alternatives.
I found Calico, but wasn't very confident that it could do a good job with such little input from the user. I was wrong. It faultlessly stitched together a 17-shot 360° panorama on the first try. Now I must purchase it t get rid of the watermarks!
This will save me so much time and effort. Awesome software!

After researching the many panorama creation workflows, tools, and applications available, I was about to lose that momentum...then I came across a reference to Calico on the Panoguide forums.
I downloaded the demo, hit LOAD to import 10 images, hit ALIGN, and within a couple of minutes had a stiched panorama. Hitting MAKE and a few minutes later I had a QTVR image I could navigate.
Very impressive. Of course, I might evolve to something more 'pro' at a later stage, but the key point (esp for the beginner) is the simplicity and the excellent results. This has boosted my interest and helped me maintain momentum...I'm on a roll now.
Very impressed.

Calico does NOT generate QTVR; just the JPG panoramic image.
QTVR requires other tools such as CubicConverter.
I stand by my original ratings, however, based on what Calico is designed to do.
