I was nagged to write a review by this widget... I will now delete it and no longer recommend it. I think it is my personal choice to decide whether to review a software application. I do not need to be mothered into it.
I have used Graphic Converter since day one. I marvel at the ease of use and yet, if I want to really get complex with layers and found inly in "the high priced spread" it is all here. Each update is amazing as to how much is added. I really think that one could major in GC in a University and still not really have a full grasp of all that it can do. There is a manual that teaches the basics. I'd like to see a more advanced - even third party - publication to guide us through the real tricks of GC. I want to thank the developer for offering such a great product and keeping it relevant as techniques and technology grow. Thanks, Hr. Lemke. Tschüs!
Dear Developer -
Thank you for a lovely product that works as advertised.
I do have a suggestion - when you upgrade every few days - as it seems you are doing - redirecting me to your download - please donate page - is getting annoying. Most especially since I have donated.
Two things you can do - send a registration to those of us who have donated, so your update log shows that we have done so and we can update directly in the app. (try looking at Sparkle).
Secondly. there is no #2.
It is aggravating at the minimum to be directed to your download page every time, since there are ways to not have to do this. It also saves you bandwidth expense.
Just happened again, when I clicked on the update panel when I opened Calibre on my system. Are you able to download Calibre without going to the "please donate" page?
I think I would be more inclined to purchase this application if it actually worked in the rest of the world - you know - outside of the border of the USA; such as, the WIPO, EUPO, etc...
Lovely user interface but if I need to check a patent I want to be able to look at all of the IP registration bodies.
One Star and this is not for the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
I actually paid for this application and if the developer had ANY integrity, he, she, it, they would offer refunds.
It is now turned off. Too many conflicts with TRUE 10.6.2 application and with the OS itself.
Don't need this drama!
If you install it or buy it - it is at your own risk!

Thank you for your comment about my experience. You did address your experience but you have no idea my experience with the developer. I wrote several times and never got one response.
Daily updates or close is not the way you programme... If that were the case you would be updating every day with MacOS. There are constant improvements with OS X but we see the results after a lot of testing by us developers. (Yes, I am an Apple Developer).
What you as a user of this software in its current state is an alpha tester for every little fix.
Do you feel you should pay for alpha testing?
OK. I bought MailSteward within the free upgrade time limit (19 November 2009) and followed the directions to upgrade to 9.0 and did not receive an new license key.
Now I can only use the "free version" unless I want to pay for a new license.
There is no place to contact the developer on their website, so I am writing here, in hopes that they will solve the problem.

Is it that difficult to integrate?
I know you want donations but I have given already...
APOD Grabber
or
right click the photo while at APOD and save to "downloads"
how hard is that?
Been doing it since 1995 - seems to still work
I do not see the point of this. Free or not.

Desktopple Pro

Would not "hide" both monitors... as promised.
No way in the "preferences" to alleviate that issue.
Would not but it if it was $.99 (ninety-nine cents).
Prefer Camouflage...
Had a small problem. Wrote the developer - answered within 30 minutes!
Problem solved.
If I were to give Desktopple a rating, it would be no stars.
Very unimpressed - most especially for that price.
