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.

BNZ  I agree with the comments. The $50 price point is too steep for an application that merely provides some convenience over the command-line. Most people i know run subversion together with a trac installation anyway, so most other useful features like the well arranged timeline are present already. I hope the authors will change their mind about the price. For me, $15-$20 is a more appropriate price point for this. Other than that, this is clearly a nice application with a lot of polish for a 1.0x version!

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.

WRELEVEN  I'd say those 5 minutes pretty important!

RAWN027  If you only use this app 5 minutes at the end of your day you are doing it all wrong. Last time I checked for real programmers who use real version control (git) it is more of a lifestyle change than an after-thought tacked on to the end of the day.

That begin said, as a real programmer I never feel the need for a GUI based version control app, nor would I use this because its SVN not GIT.

Lastly, I mean no harm to the developers of this fine Mac OS X citizen, it is quite stunning and I remember being interested in the app when I still used SVN as my main versioning system. Kudos to the devs on this app for sure!

JTHEISS  Don't get me wrong, it's an elegant app and if if was $25 or even $30, I'd slap my money down right now. I just think $50 is just way too high a price for what is.

AKRABAT  This program requires activation, so you are entirely reliant on the developer keeping their servers working. Better hope they don't go bust or turn it off for older versions to force you to upgrade.

I'm not prepared to take the risk and will get another subversion client instead.

IMPERIALFLOW  This is a great Subversion client.

Very easy to use, great repository browsing. I had high hopes for SCPlugin to bring TortoiseSVN to the Mac, but its slow pace of development lead me to find an alternative.

It may not be integrated into the Finder, but Versions is an extremely quality program for managing source-control.

XMICHELO  Excellent piece of software. Does the jobs in an elegant way.

As other reviewers, even thought the software is still in beta, I immediately switched from svnX to subversion.

Additionnaly, the dev. team seems to be responsive.

LONDONSKATER  The best of all the main Subversion GUIs out there, so far.

SVNx is handy but the interface is retarded.

Cornerstone is beautiful but has a massive overhead of clicks and actions to get where you need to.

WHOSYOURTATOR  I love Versions. Just purchased it. Apple doesn't just select any old product for its Design Award. This product is polished. I have also had very quick contact with support.

I'm so glad I no longer have to use the command line svn, that was getting old.

People, check your spam filter if support doesn't reply. It is likely they did reply and the message is there.

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.
