KOINGO SOFTWARE For those who missed it in the release notes during Software Update, or those who have not yet upgraded, Alarm Clock Pro 9 is a paid upgrade. This is the first paid upgrade to Alarm Clock Pro in 10 years, and we thank everyone for their support! Version 9.0 from the last 8.x release is primarily a bug fix release; however, we have big plans for it in the coming months, so please stay tuned. In fairness, we'll also be releasing a new 8.x point release containing these same bug fixes so that customers remaining on 8.x will have a final stable version of the product. Buyers of Alarm Clock Pro 8 on or after January 1, 2009, can obtain a free license at the link below. Also, all other users can use the same form to proceed to a paid upgrade page. http://www.koingosw.com/store-upgrade.php Upgrades are free for any buyers of the Utility Package, and the license should automatically be in your account. For users wishing to remain on version 8 and inadvertently upgraded, please contact us, and we'll offer you an 8.x download link.

CHRISWAN As an utility pack licensee, I found that the license for V9 already added to my account without me asking for it, and I'm really grateful for this However I really wish that the owners of V8 won't left in cold, they should get the crucial bug fixes (I'm not asking for fancy new features), in maybe 1-2 last point updates; so they can finally get a complete product they deserve I'm sure most of these people are the real customers (pay full price) instead the majority of Utility Pack users who got the pack from Mac software bundles

CHRISWAN That would be terrific Great customer service is the cornerstone of high quality products I'm sure this gesture will increase customer's satisfaction, which might resulted in migration to version 9 when the time comes Wishing you a great business in the future

LASZLO2 To charge $9.95 for bug fixes seems out of line. I'll wait until there are actual new features to pay any more money. The program is good, but not worth another $10.00.

ESPIRIDION I'm a fan of Koingo Software. They offer many great products and excellent customer support. Having said that, I'm surprised that this is a paid upgrade considering that it consists mostly of bug fixes.

KOINGO SOFTWARE This is the first paid upgrade in 10 years, and we thank everyone for their support. We have big plans for Alarm Clock Pro in the comings months, so please stay tuned! Additionally, Utility Package owners get this upgrade for free -- just ask one of our staff to add it to your account :)

ESPIRIDION I actually got the upgrade for free. :-) As I said, I'm a fan of your company and the support you offer. I think that the first Koingo products I purchased were Password Retriever, Contact Keeper, and PTE, many years ago and I'm a VERY happy customer. Still, there may be people using version 8 who don't get the free upgrade and are left with a program that is buggy. I prefer paid upgrades when new features are added, but not for bug fixes. That's just my opinion, and I hope you see it as constructive feedback. Again, I'm a happy customer and often recommend your company and your products.

KOINGO SOFTWARE This is incorrect. Previously, the Utility Package did offer new products for free; however, this policy changed on November 26th. We are honoring new licenses to new applications for previous customers. If you are referring to us recently selling Slideshow Magic and a few other products, it is up to the buying company if they wish to honor the free lifetime upgrades option. You, may, however continue using your existing Koingo Software edition of the product for life without any paid upgrades.

MICKSMAC A warning on Koingo's "Utility Pack" (of which Alarm Clock Pro is a component), since Koingo do not warn you of the following on their web site: Koingo states that if you buy their $100 bundle you get lifetime upgrades. What they don't tell you is that if they add to/change the bundle contents then your "lifetime" status doesn't apply. To the developer: you really should change/clarify the wording around this bundling. IMO it is deceptive and you should do better by your customers.

TFSLAYTON Still requires you to schedule the power manager to wake up a few minutes before the alarm goes off. EVERY TIME. If you don't, your computer won't be awake for the alarm to activate. Even the freeware alarm clocks don't require this and until they fix it, it's an absolute dealbreaker.

RCN Constant 10 to 15% CPU usage when it is just sitting there, waiting. And more than 54mb of RAM. Comparably, Awaken shows basically 0% CPU usage and 43mb of RAM. I would love a good alarm/reminder program (capable of alerting with Growl notifications), but it needs to quietly sit in the background when not in use. A big plus too if it could remove the icon from the dock.

I just wanted to let you know that Growl support is coming to Awaken 5 for alarms and egg timers. Screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/embraceware/2820197110/

RUSTMAN Could the developer please explain why the stopwatch application uses 50% of my CPU? Seems a little excessive doesn't it? I got this with the School Promo Bundle, but for an app that should have such a small footprint this is not just excessive, it's an app-killer. And not in a good way. It just makes me want to CMD-Backspace. Stopwatch use should be below 5%. Tops, 10%.

GORELETS Bought this program and like it, generally...for setting alarms in customized and repeating ways, it's awesome. I can't seem to figure out how to use it, though, as a simple 'egg timer' type of app. I may be overlooking something, but a simple two-click 'countdown' function - like a stopwatch with custom beep -- would be welcome.

GORELETS Correction: the program does in fact have a "stopwatch" function that can also accept laps. But it's very limited. I'd like to see this developed so that an alarm is triggered at the end of the countdown.
