DESCRIPTION
Pandora (formerly Netscrape) is the media collector's web spider and search agent for Mac OS X. In the time it takes to grab a glass of water, Pandora is able to hunt down files by spidering a URL or performing a keyword-based search. A clear and intuitive interface guarantees you are underway in no time, and extensive preferences allow advanced users to flex their muscles. After a rapid search based on the given criteria, Pandora prepares a slideshow, providing you with a quick and comprehensive glance at hundreds of discovered files. It is an incredible tool for anyone interested in images, music, or video on the web.

MTCOBRA  The name of this app. must be changed. Even my MacUpdate announced this using the Pandora (the one that plays music)'s icon! I will not download a thumbnail viewer that will automatically replace one of my music players!

ACKEE  Works a treat! Just like to say that the developer has been very responsive, courteous and helpful with the two problems I've had - one before purchase and one after.

JO*  Not bad at all and really quick.

I'd love to have a button "Open URL in default browser" next to the URL in WebPage mode. That would make it easy to browse further images on a particular site with the default browser, that are not related to the Pandora query and bookmark them if required.

CORLEXIS  Having tried other search applications with varying results, I've found Pandora to be the absolute nirvana of media collection software: it pulls down an amazing number of files, the beautiful interface is refreshingly intuitive while quickly displaying results in a very easy-to-peruse format. I like how it will continue to find pictures until you stop it. Now a very important tool that I use daily in my multimedia design job at a huge communications corporation, Pandora is a great brainstorming tool for stimulating ideas by entering keywords - and is a great way to follow design trends by ''seeing what's out there.' Pandora has been well worth the money by a very responsive developer.

GRYPHONENT  Why do I have to download all the images? It would be better if Pandora would create small thumbnails and allow me to decide which images to download in full size.

ACKEE  err... because Pandora would have to download the whole image to create the thumbnail in the first place?

WEB-JIVE  Watson is another option but it's legacy software and it's not a universal binary.

QUICKBEN  As a huge fan of the online Pandora Music service, I think it would be a good idea for you to change the name of this program. I imagine they have a wee bit more clout with this name than you.

RJ2  Previous version 1.0.0.2 works fine.

The new version just wont open and will crash.

So, try the old version if you want to use, until they come out with a more stable version.

T  Why such restrictive demo capabilities? Only 5 full screen images per session? Can't save pictures? I want to fully test drive software, not get anoyed. Come on, ease off a bit. $20 is a whole lot of money. Expect people to show you the money, then give them a little more room to breath and play, and let them find out if they really need and like your software in their daily routine. When you play nice and people have a nice feeling about an app and the developer, cash will flow, my friend. Selling software is about giving people a good feeling. A demo period without restrictions feels a whole lot better. And don't do those 3 days demo periods. I like developers who give me enough time to think and play with their apps. Give us room, man.
