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.

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.

MAC2ALL  Netscrape 1.6.1 works quite good.

I have only tried to use the keywords image download, and pictures comes down in the hundreds. Great! Much faster than using any search engine, where you have to check all links your self, find the picture/s, and then manually download them.

- Running osX 10.3.5 on a slow BW G3 350 MHz.

This comes in very handy at this time, when the Apple Sherlock Image search is down (not functioning).

BIKE BOY  Funny, 'cause this app worked well when it first came out in the pre-Panther days. I even sent a mail congratulating the developer.

Unfortunately things have fallen to bits. Nothing is displayed at all. Have just deleted it from my Mac and back to using Safari's Sogudi plug in.

ANONYMOUS  Nice application, however I've found that it gets images only 50% of the time and often not at all.

ANONYMOUS  Did you adjust the minimum size of file to be downloaded? Standard is 10 k, so with a regular html-site it probably skips a lot.
