VISKWAL I rarely post reviews, but MacUpdate is always the place I come to, to read user reviews and to decide if I try and buy a product, or when to steer clear from products. So here's my contribution. Today I purchased the Timelog/Grandtotal bundle after trying both for a while. I come from Stuntsoftware's "On The Job" who is now officially promising this kind of application to come soon, for almost a year now (the anouncement went up in November 2007). He has been telling me even before that he was thinking in that direction when I mentioned my needs for a program like this. I consider myself a loyal customer, and thus waited for something to come. While nothing came, my timetracking and invoicing have become a mess, I invoiced with pages, later numbers, I tried bento, and tried every billing app out there. Stuntsoftware has many people on the edge of their seat, hoping something will "come soon" but nothing comes, not even a promised blog post. So, out goes my loyalty, and in comes media atelier. While I was not instantly overwhelmed by it's ease of use (I find especially Timelog a little hard to understand at times), I was very impressed by the responsivness of the developper. I contacted him with several questions and I also found a bug in a beta release. He answered promptly and the bug I found was resolved within minutes. It shows that the developper cares about his product. I did not hesitate and instantly bought a license, and I wouldn't have hesitated even if it was twice the price (59 euros for the bundle really is a bargain !) I'm still learning both programs, but the more I digg into them, the more I'm starting to really like them. I now regret I didn't make this decision earlier. I'll also post this review with TimeLog, since the two actually belong together. (Version 1.0.1b4) |
