Tom,
I apologize for the delay in the Lion update. The lead developer ran into a family emergency, and then 10.7.2 was just released and we had to run it back through testing once more. We should be about 1-2 more weeks max on delivery of the update.
Thank you,

Allowing for 14 days from this "max" promise, this release is still 27 days late and 117 days late since the promise of "Free Lion update coming soon."
Subsequent emails to Macware have gone unanswered.
Potential buyers may wish to take this information into account and factor it in to purchase decisions.
This is a shame: I was a faithful Disktools Pro user.

I do not know if I can have a refund. This is by far the worst app. I've ever bought.

I like that you can test the startup disk without rebooting. I like the multitasking capability--best util to do so and does it well. I really like it's benchmarking tool.
It's disk mounting feature is very weak. Could not mount drives that many other tools recognized and mounted without a problem. Sometimes would not even see unmounted drives either.
Overall, a very decent tool, thought it's SpeedTool older cousin is a better deal as it has one more feature that was taken out from Disktools (Disktools is Just SpeedTools Rebrandedminus ZoneBench--Benchmarks an entire device, not just the hard drive).
DiskTools is on special RIGHT NOW for $19.99 until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. At that price, it is excellent value.

At $79 the software developers are overpricing their product, as Drive genius and techToolPro are better values.

After launching DTP it requires one to enter user name and serial # or to purchase it; there's no option for a trial use.
Dunno, but maybe I should stay away from this app after Maluisa's report of experiencing major problems with it.
