iMOnTime

Don Sykes reviewed on 18 Feb 2011

I've been using this program for a number of years and just upgraded. I was pleasantly surprised at how much it's improved. The MobileMe syncing is great if you have a desktop and a laptop. Highly recommended! The developer is very responsive.

Caution Utility Package Owners - apparently this doesn't come under the "free upgrades for life" policy.

Apologies to Koingo Software- I should have gone there first, but I wasn't absolutely sure about the upgrade policy. At any rate, I filled out a ticket, had a response quickly and my license is indeed valid for the upgrade.

Thanks to them for being responsive AND for a great product!

CopyPaste Pro

Don Sykes commented on 05 Sep 2010

I'm still having problems with Adobe Indesign CS4 - CopyPaste broke the keyboard copy/paste command keys. When I copy and paste in Indesign it creates an uneditable graphic. No problems if you use the menus instead of keyboard. Beware!

2.3.2 still has the same problem with InDesign. If you use the menu for copy/paste you're OK, if you use command "c" you get an image instead of a text.

GV Connect Widget

Don Sykes reviewed on 08 Feb 2010

I find this extremely useful for sending SMS messages through Google Voice. I don't use text on my cell phone, but my kids do. This allows me to send quick messages for free. I think the author did a great job with the look and feel of the widget too! It's attractive, well designed and the author seems very responsive. Earlier versions seemed to freeze from time to time, but this has much improved. I'm giving him five stars!

CopyPaste Pro

KUDOS to the developer on this new release. The ability to name clips is brilliant. I am getting more use out of CopyPaste than ever!

Evernote

Don Sykes reviewed on 17 Jul 2009

Evernote saved me big time! I've been using this program for a while and had moved over all my notes, and important information, including many work files (MS Word, Spreadsheets, etc). This was primarily so I could share the info between my desktop Mac and laptop PC (it's brilliant for this). On return from vacation, I had a Hard Drive fail and lost gobs of data - but not the info that was in Evernote. I simply formatted the new hard drive, added the Evernote app and was back up and running. Highly recommended.

LinkAssistant

LinkAssistant and the rest of the suite no longer run on a PowerPC Mac. They do offer an older version for us though.

CopyPaste Pro

Don Sykes commented on 27 May 2009

Ouch - stopped working for me in Dreamweaver - happened before and I was able to escape by getting rid of "plain" clips. This time - no joy. Hope I can find 2.0.7 to go back to. . .

The Hit List

Don Sykes commented on 26 Mar 2009

I'm just starting to play with it and it seems pretty intuitive. If you want a good price on it, head over and check out the MacHeist bundle. Note: It's one of the ones that needs to be unlocked with enough sales.

BannerZest

I've been using this "entry" version (non-pro?) for almost a year now and it never ceases to amaze me. These guys keep bringing in new themes and making the product better. I've used it on at least a dozen sites and it really makes them shine!
