iVideo

Grumpytico reviewed on 25 Apr 2012

I have been using it for about 2 hours and it has crashed about 10 times already.

Nice interface, easy to use, but VERY crash prone. Given that development has not moved since Sept 2010, I'd seriously advice not buying it.

PandoraJam

Grumpytico reviewed on 08 Apr 2012

Well, I have no idea how to edit a review I previously wrote, so this one will average the old one out.

In a nutshell, the program has stopped recording out of the blue, I have troubleshooted it every way I could and have contacted the developer. Replies have neen non-existent, so what others say here is true, no developer support whatsoever.

So venture forth and buy it, but be aware that a) it may or might now work b) if it does not work, your're SOOL and on your own.

PandoraJam

Grumpytico reviewed on 03 Apr 2012

I bought this a while ago and stopped my Pandora subscription so I stopped using it in liue of Spotify. Spotify sucks for playlists and discovering new music...really, and I have tried all their apps.

I came back to Pandora and was very surprised on the nice GUI improvements made on PandoraJam. It records like a champ, very easy to use, and I love the fact that shortcuts are aware system wide.

The only thing I would add is fullscreen tiger support, but other than that, this is one of my favorite mac apps :-)

VideoDrive

Grumpytico reviewed on 13 Sep 2010

I've reviewed this app in the past and i gave it a high rating. After using for 6 months, I regret buying it. I planned to use it for tagging downloaded TV Shows and movies. For the movies part, it does fill the metadata correctly, but for TV shows, it's quite a mess. I've tried to contact the developer to fix these issues but they remain unresolved. Point in case, the American Dad TV Show, take a look:

So, if you want to automatically tag TV shows, steer clear of this one.

TuneUp

Grumpytico reviewed on 31 Jul 2010

So I bought this app in April and I have it 5 starts a little after I bought it. After using it for a while, I've come to the conclusion that this app is not good at all. As many have already mentioned, the interface is not all that great. The start-up time is somewhat annoying, but the fact that I have to sit there for 3 minutes while this app gets its act together so I can drag songs is ridiculous. After the latest updates, which I had no way of opting out, the app crashes way too often. It never docks to iTunes correctly, so if I click iTunes, I have to click TuneUp's dock icon to have it visible.

I wish tagging was the only thing it did, but it has a whole bunch of tabs that automatically switch to something that (at least myself) are in no way interested. It tries to be too much and finishes doing a lousy job at all the roles it tries to take.

The videos of the app will leave you wondering, and the demo will convince you that this app is great, but after having it for some time, I do regret buying it.

iChm

Grumpytico reviewed on 19 Jun 2010

I have used it for 1 minute, and in that time, it opened a chm file and converted it to PDF which I will now place on my iPad. Can't ask for much more...seriously. Thanks!!

MaxMenus

Grumpytico commented on 05 May 2010

What makes this app stand from ALL the rest is that the menus can be invoked with key combos, so they appear right under your mouse.

Also, this is the only app of this kind that allows "grabs" of items, a feature which at this point causes it to crash.

If they addressed the grab issue, it just might be worth buying.

Speed Download

Grumpytico commented on 01 May 2010

Funny...my review on how SD failed to download a file when time was of the essence was removed (January 17th).

Makes me wonder if it's even worth it commenting on MacUpdate if reviews and comments are going to be removed just like that.

Clusters

Any reason why this won't work on external drives? That would make it perfect.

PandoraJam

Grumpytico had trouble on 05 Apr 2012

Suddenly PJ stopped recording anything, I tried all troubleshooting and nothing. So I unchecked these settings:

Skipped to the next song and it was recorded. Seems like a bug where everything I play, PJ thinks is already is on my collection.

Hope this helps someone!

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection

grumpytico had trouble on 01 Aug 2007

How do I enable this?:

"...Multiple Sessions
Lets you connect to multiple Windows-based computers at the same time..."

I cannot find it anywhere on the program :(

Nevermind:

Remote Desktop Connection Client supports multiple simultaneous Remote Desktop Connection sessions. You can save the connection settings for different Windows-based computers to Remote Desktop Connection settings files, and double-click those files to open multiple sessions independent of each other.
