I stand corrected on the comment regarding two years - no excuses for that I guess I was subconsciously thinking of the time between 1.4 and 1.6. So apologies to all for this comment. However, reading the very active review/comments column, its quite clear that there is a groundswell of folk who really think this application is essential. I for one cannot understand why the developer has not responded in any way. I remember whenLion first came out he was talking about borrowing a mac with Lion on it and worlds to the effect that he didn't think it would be very difficult to update the app.

DYMO Labelwriter

Foulger reviewed on 24 Feb 2012

I dont know who writes this crap but he shouldnt be allowed near a light switch let alone a software package. The installer just runs, installs the new app, launches it and just hangs, never completing the install. Absolutely hopeless - if it wasn't for the fact that I need a labelwriter I would rather stick my head in an outside toilet than use this software. I suppose I said that because both items are full of crap.

iExplorer

Thank you for an excellent free programme which enabled me to simply delete some duplicated unwanted downloads. May I offer some critique in that on my MacPro running 10.7.2 the app hangs when trying to delete a download in column view. In List view its fine. Also "Yes to all" button doesn't work at all. Will be happy to donate when these little imperfections are cured.

Virtual Magnifying Glass

Sounded Good - downloaded - ran it - screen turned black - moved the magnifier window - screen returned to normal - no magnification. No instructions - no more use to this user.

Apotek is becoming apothetic unfortunately. It really is just to negligent of the developer not to fix such an important tool for OS X Lion. If he cant or wont do it - hand it to someone who will. Quite irresponsible!

Unfortunately when one comes into the public domain and provides a service, with that comes a tacit obligation to keep the service going or to pass it on to someone else. Its now one and a half years since version 1.6 and still no update and yet when Lion first came out he promised an update soon. If I could step up I would but programming is not my expertise BUT I repeat again and again that I am prepared to pay for this valuable app as I have done in the past and I WILL STEP UP with another donation as soon as version 1.7 comes out

The only criticism I have is that the developer is just so slow to update for new OS's. This is such an important tool that the developer should be reminded PLEASE - you are providing such an essential tool that you have a duty to kep it up to date. Every time there;s a revision I donate more and I am sure that more people would have the same mindset if the developer came to the party. PLEASE lets have an early Christmas Present

Version 1.6 came out in July 2010 - 17 Months ago - surely thats a very long time to wait to update such vital software?

Always admired Bean as an excellent WP but the latest version crashes under 10.7.2 when I create a document and copy then paste into it.

MacKeeper

Its too easy to enthusiastically lose important things inadvertently. I lost all my bookmarks (my own fault) but was able to get them back from a backup fortunately.

No I quickly restored it from one of two backups I keep all the time, a cloned HD and TM. I used the cloned drive. I have trashed MacKeeper

invisibliX

Foulger had trouble on 07 Feb 2011

Would be nice to be able to contact the author. I recently had to clone a system from a damaged HD with one bad block. When the clone was completed, all the invisible folders (eg usr, var etc) were visible. This handy little app made them invisible again but the aliases (eg var) although were marked as invisible by the app, still showed up as visible in the HD.

Apple Mac OS X

foulger had trouble on 12 Nov 2007

Beware - good as Leopard is, it breaks EFI Fiery Rip drivers. I now have a NZ$26,000 Konica machine that only prints to one tray (4) and wont print A3 at all. Fiery are as useless as tits on a bull and don't answer E-Mails!

Parallels Desktop

foulger had trouble on 18 Nov 2006

Since Installing version 1970 on my Mac Pro 2.6 Quad (4Gb RAM), Parallels has worked flawlessly. When finishing with windows, I habitually suspend operations. Since installing Firmware update 1.1 a few days ago, every time I start parallels, it crashes towards the end of the restoration process. If I stop windows at the end of each session and rerstart upon booting paralles, everything is fine. At the developers suggestion I reinstalled Parallels but its still the same. I can only assume something happened to put a glitch in Parallels as a result of the change in parameters following the firmware update.
