Sparrow

I love this so far, but it still needs some work IMHO:

Email message fonts look good on my laptop, but way too small o my 27" Cinema Display. User needs to be able to configure message and list fonts.

User needs to be able to control if signature is above or below quoted text in replies and forwards. Right now it's above which I think is fairly non-standard (though I have no proof, I just seem to see it the other way most of the time).

Some functions are confusing and really need tooltip/balloon help popups - like, what's the difference between the two identical looking "reply" buttons - the one at the top (next to "i") and the one at the bottom? I think the one at the top uses Facebook, but I'm not sure.

The main four icons (compose, reply, archive, and trash) at the top look like they are from Mac OS 7 days. Why so flat? And we need "reply all" and forward buttons.

Would be nice if it could import accounts from mail.app, and had support for local folders.

Cobook

Jweisbin reviewed on 16 Mar 2012
Since Apple crippled Address Book in Lion I've been looking for a replacement. My main gripe, believe it or not, is that the fonts are just too small, and, for an app I use constantly, it's a real strain on my eyes (especially on a large monitor). I've looked at Contactizer, Daylite, Addresses, and Outlook - none of these allow the fonts to be changed! I haven't tried Organizer but the reviews have not been stellar. I may try Bento, but it's kind of ugly to look at.

This looks promising - but why do all these developers leave out the simple but very important preference for being able to control fonts and appearance? Please add it!

You asked: "What’s your specific gripe?", it's the same as everyone else's: the two pane look is awful (and can't even be brought back by the debug menu any more), and the fonts are too small and can't be customized I don't sync with iCloud, I sync with Google, and for that it works so-so (sometimes I get duplicates, and groups sometimes disappear). I use Busycal, works great.

The app store version is still 1.3.2. Seems like the developer is not keeping the app store version current.

Why does the app store still show version 1.8.1 as the latest?

LibreOffice

Jweisbin reviewed on 28 Dec 2011
Open Office and Libre Office can both create a PDF with bookmarks from styled text - a feature that Microsloth has withheld from Mac users even in the most current version of Word 2011. I use this feature and I would find it difficult to give up. But the size of the PDF that Open Office creates is about half of what Libre Office or Neo Office create, without image degradation. I haven't found any settings that affect this, so I still use OO, which is why I can't give this the full five stars. Otherwise it is awesome.

VPN Tracker
Jweisbin commented on 02 Oct 2009
I bought VPN Tracker Pro 5, I think it was $200. Well worth it. But they are charging $160 for this upgrade. Why so much? Given that they already announced that VPN Tracker 5 is compatible with Snow Leopard, why would I need this upgrade?
