ICONZ113 I was set on purchasing versions. So while I was making the purchase I was trying to take advantage of a coupon code that wasn't working, so I emailed them about it. While waiting, I decided to read up on versions and while doing so, came across Zennaware's Cornerstone. I decided to try it out, however I was still set on versions. After days of no response I decided to abandon and coupon code and just ask for an educational license, thinking it would speed along the process. I went ahead and sent my schools info in another email. After no response still, I decided to look more into Cornerstone. So I sent an email to Zennaware about Cornerstone educational license coupons, I received an email instantly with the coupon code. However I decided to still stick it out and wait for a response from the developer of versions. Even though both apps are great I was set on getting versions. I finally just received an email today responding to the first email I sent, they responded that they wanted to know the website I got the coupon code from, I responded 30 seconds later that I sent an email after that first initial email inquiring about education license coupons, and just wanted to get an educational license now, and again I'm waiting with no response. To me the companies lack of customer service reflects on the quality of service they can provide. If I ever had a problem in the future I can see the potential headaches when dealing with communicating with them, so I am going to go with Cornerstone. (Version 1.0.6) | |

VERSIONS TEAM Hi ICONZ113, It's very unfortunate that you have the impression that you weren't helped adequately. We responded to your every email within hours of receiving them. Our offer to help you still stands. - The Versions Team (Version 1.0.6) | |

CALIXTUS While basically Version is nice client for the (mostly not very advanced) things I do with Subversion, I am increasingly disappointed at the speed of development, especially given the (comparatively high) price tag. Versions works and is stable, but it still hinders my workflow in certain situations. For instance, it still only has an "Open" contextual menu entry, but not "Open with ..." (yes, I mailed the developer about it a long time ago). It still creates a text clipping containing the path when I drag & drop an item onto the Desktop (of course, the path is useful when dropping an item onto a Terminal window, but why whould I want a clipping in the Finder?) and does not export the item (yes, I know I can do it in the CM, but why not offer both?). When I select "Add working copy bookmark", it still does not add the bookmark below the repository bookmark currently selected, but somewhere else. And it still asks whether it should delete the filesystem folder for a bookmark I deleted, even that folder does not exist any longer in the filesystem. (Version 1.0.6) | |

TWISTED Yes it is expensive for something we can do without paying anything. BUT working everyday with SVN there's nothing better than an awesome experience with a well-working software with a delicious interface. (Version 1.0.5) | |

WHOSYOURTATOR Nice app but too expensive when there are free options like SmartSVN. I'd pay $25 to $30 for it. I'm hoping to see it in a Mac Update Promo soon. (Version 1.0.4) | |

PWENZEL As a consistent user of both command line SVN and svnX, I am quite satisfied with my demo of Versions, and look forward to purchasing it. As some commenters have mentioned, it is more expensive than competing products. However, it worked fabulously for a project I am working on that involves thousands of files and multiple developers, often many updates and commits per day. Our project also lacks Trac, so I appreciate the Version's easy to read Timeline view. If you are only doing a small project with infrequent commits, you may not reap the benefits of Versions. But if you are accessing your SVN repository frequently, Versions is totally slick and worth the asking price. (Version 1.0.3) | |

CAPTSALTYJACK This app isn't ready for prime time, I don't think. Major functionality such as branching and merging isn't present. Furthermore, some operations are just plain confusing, for instance, the "rollback" feature. I choose rollback to revision 23, for example, and I can see that 3 files have been affected, yet when I commit, nothing happens. Besides that, I should mention that it's rare for a developer to do a rollback *to* a specific revision. It's not common that we're at r312, and we say "oh hey, we should roll back to r287, and trash all the work we've done from r288 through r312." It just doesn't happen. More common is to look at, for example, r308, and say "yuck, r308 really botched some of the network functions, let's pull it out." On the command line, a simple "svn merge . -c -308" (reverse merge) followed by "svn commit" does the trick, and reverses anything done in r308 so it's almost as if it never existed. Or if r308 and r276 are bad, "svn merge . -c -308,-276" will pull out both. Versions can't do any of this. Between the lack of branch/merge, and reverse merging, I just can't justify dropping the money on this application yet. This is way overpriced given its current feature set. I hope the developer will continue to work hard on Versions to make it the best it can be. (Version 1.0.3) | |

DWETTE I really liked this in beta when I used it, but $50 is too expensive for this tool. If it comes down to half the price I'll get it. Otherwise, sticking with shell svn and SvnX. (Version 1.0.3) | |

RKILCOYNE Best graphical subversion tool bar none -- and this is coming from someone who has no qualms about using subversion from the command-line. Great cocoa interface, integration with filemerge, and lots of potential. Perfect app for monitoring MANY subversion repositories. Suggestion for future version: add growl notification for bookmark updates while Versions is in the background. (Version 1.0.3) | |

MX I tried this app in Beta, and I'm now using it until my Tech department upgrades me to Dreamweaver CS4 (Subversion integration -- yes!). What I really like about Versions is the simplicity and the OS 10.5 interface. Simple to figure out for non-developers like me who only do about 3 things with Subversion: update, commit, and merge. So it's the last thing that stall on my buying Versions for now: no merge capabilities built-in. Sure, I can merge by opening Terminal. But I want all-in-one super simplicity. Remember I'm a non-coder and I don't like to mess with command lining when it's at all avoidable. I also use SmartSVN Pro which seems to have been built by coders for coders. It's not pretty, but not difficult to use, as I pretty much ignore most of the buttons and other features in the menus. SmartSVN is far more robust than I need, so I prefer to use Versions or DW CS4. Just hoping the "merge" gets added in a future update or upgrade. (Version 1.0.2) | |
