There was a time not long ago when one had to buy boxed software, normally for a lot more money than we're paying now, that didn't come with demo versions or money-back guarantees.
It's not like this is some new system that someone dreamed up to rob us of our money.
Now I'm all for try-before-you-buy but if it's not available I make a decision based on cost, reviews and screenshots.

Part with my money for an untried app? No way.
The Android Market (don't mock- I get a great phone with unlimited internet for £10 per month as opposed to £30 for an iPhone)- works so that, if you buy an app and don't like it, you get an automatic refund if it's deleted within a certain time. Couldn't Apple do the same?
Anyway, the excellent- and free- PandoCalendar does everything I need.

Hmm.
Think I'll pass.

Perhaps you should do your homework before criticizing. This is not YouTube.

But I am happy you were able to get some venting done!

I also find the price of 9.99 for an app that just displays the current calendar on the desktop a little steep. But then I also think that useful utilities that make life easier and - after all - only cost about 2 cups of coffee at a restaurant... man, you really can't complain. The App Store has brought a lot of prices down significantly and now, after using the tool for some days, I think it was well worth it.
Sometimes I have so many appointments that I forget I have to go somewhere. Especially when I'm buried in work in front of my Mac (who thinks of opening the calendar all the time - and all the alarms can be super annoying). Blotter helps me remember my appointments and meetings by just displaying the next 7 days directly on my desktop. It works with synchronized calendars like Google or MobileMe, it works with my BusyCal installation, and it works with a second monitor now. I can now choose to display the calendar on the desktop of the second or third monitor.
The latest update also got rid of the dock icon (which was always open - and I don't like utilities sitting there all the time). So in the latest version a nice icon now sits in the menu bar where it belongs in my opinion.
The only thing I don't like so much is the positioning feature. One can only choose between top left, top, top right, mid left, mid, right etc. You can choose between three sizes. A very compact view, a "normal" view where I can hardly read anything from the packed calendar on my 27" iMac or a "full screen" which is again too big. Why not let the user draw the position and size of Blotter directly in the preferences instead of giving him only 9 fixed options? And then call the sizes: compact, customized (let the user draw it), and full screen. This would make much more sense and then I would also give it 5 stars :)
For me it's either too big full screen as I don't like anything tocover up my whole desktop, but normal is too small. I would like to make it a little bigger.

Is that new App Store Slogan (ASS) ?
I dont like that.
What if I don't like the program ?
Does it come with a money back guarantee ?
