TurboTax

Bud_simrin reviewed on 06 Apr 2012
I have used this for years except one year I tried a leading alternative and was VERY disappointed. As another evaluator pointed out, the app just gets better and better. I used to have to manually and painfully enter each stock I sold along with its purchase and sold dates, purchase and sold amounts, etc., etc. - an incredible amount of work since I averaged 20 to 30 of these and had to find the individual pieces of data. Now I just download all this from my brokerage firm and TurboTax automatically enters it all, without errors. Lots of other great features as well. Easily a 5 star application.

As to complaints from others about not getting manual code upgrades, that is nonsense. Intuit needs to maintain quality and configuration control. As it is, they regularly release fixes as problems are pointed out to them by users throughout the tax season. As an experienced programmer myself, I know that releasing them piece-meal for "manual" downloading would create more errors than would be fixed. It is amazing that Intuit makes so few errors considering the complexity of the tax codes and the annual changes. I couldn't ask for anything more.

LionScrollbars
Bud_simrin commented on 09 Jan 2012
Nice idea. Any chance of an option to restore the wider scrollbars of Snow Leopard and earlier? I hate these narrow scrollbars and I have lots of desktop space.

moveAddict

Bud_simrin reviewed on 20 Nov 2011
I've been using moveAddict for quite a long time. It is an integral part of my Mac daily experience, extremely well-integrated.

The only problem I experience is that the Paste icon rarely works and I end us using the move
Addict keyboard cmd-V as a work-around.

I wanted to request that author consider adding a copy/paste alias capability. That would be a natural extension and a real convenience. However, I was not successful at using the author's web site to send him a message.

MacNote3LE

Bud_simrin reviewed on 19 Jun 2011
This is my favorite Note pad app, and I have reviewed many of them over the years. Simple to use, very strong search function, allows categories and subscategories, allows color fonts and highlights, can insert pics, has standard formatting menu and rulers, excellent documentation. I believe there is even an iPhone app although I haven't used it.

ABMenu

Bud_simrin reviewed on 30 Aug 2010
Very helpful app. I used it several times a week to quickly find phone numbers or addresses without the bother of having to both open and later close the address book. Every now and then I use it to quickly open the address book to a specified name when I need more detailed information not shown by ABMenu.

I only wish the app would give me a choice to open my Entourage address book but alas it doesn't support Entourage at this time.

Panorama Maker Pro 5
Bud_simrin had trouble on 24 Apr 2012
Crashed upon launch. Seems to be primarily a Windows company because the support request I sent from the web site says 7-9 days for a response!

iTrash
Bud_simrin had trouble on 08 Mar 2012
I purchased iTrash 3 days ago and have yet to receive a serial number. I have written 2 emails to info@osxbytes.com but have received no reply. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Note: I use no email filters so I did not miss a reply.)

I thank Osxbytes. I never received his emails but I did receive this message and also the one he sent via PayPal. I appreciate his help.

Safari Autofill Prefs
Bud_simrin had trouble on 10 Dec 2011
Destroyed my autofill altogether.

On the Test Page I get nothing at all. I followed the hint to delete other autofills, but still nothing. When I went to Safari autofill prefs and selected to edit my Address Book card, it sent me to Outlook, which is my primary set of contacts. I have Outlook set up to sync with Address Book. To confuse matters, I also have a duplicate set of contacts in my Address Book that I use to sync with iCloud. (I keep the 2 sets up-to-date manually for now. I wish I could sync Outlook directly to iCloud, but I can’t.)

When I select autofill this page from the Safari menu, I get the message “AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill.”
Help. At this point I’ll accept the old autofill back.

Thanks, That seems right. I just download today's version and it behaves like you say. Good job by the way.
