Skype

Kosovar1 reviewed on 24 Jan 2012

Skype has a glaringly STUPID, barely understandable interface! I have been a user for years and i am still trying to understand the new interface. How can a program designed by such a huge, money gobbling company be so bad? I also hate how the money that is regularly drawn out of my PayPal account seems to disappear regularly, even though I hardly had ever use Skype.

SoundApp Reborn

Kosovar1 reviewed on 15 Dec 2011

What a sad little app. It doesn't even play .aiff files. Lion's Finder does much more and the fact that SoundApp Reborn is free is irrelevant to that fact.

Battorox

Kosovar1 reviewed on 05 Dec 2011

I hate to be taken for a fool. I tried to download this free beta of Batterox. but I got whisked off to the Bannerox website that hawks all its other wares EXCEPT Batterox. I googled it and tried ten different websites that supposedly have this little utility available. Every one of them take you to the same damned website where they tried to trick you into buying something, but offer no Batterox. It's called a "bait and switch." Pity you have no ethics and instead rely on gimmicks...apparently.

LiSA

Kosovar1 reviewed on 06 Oct 2011

What a lousy program! The dozen or more times I've enabled it on my otherwise perfectly functioning MBP running 10.7.1, after about a couple of hours it slows the system down to a crawl and pretty much locks it up. I checked on Activity Monitor, which shows that LISA gobbles up 3 GBs of virtual RAM and 1 GB of real RAM. Each time, I have to force-quit LISA and reboot to get control of my computer again. Sorry I wasted my money, even if it was just $1.99.

The massive memory leak seems to have been plugged with the 1.3 version of LiSA. (71 MB real memory, a quarter-GB of virtual memory) LiSA seems to be announcing the time and mail message arrivals reliably and it doesn't seem to be destabilizing the system after a day running. Just one bug that I can see and it's a new one with 1.3: everything LiSA announces, it does it TWICE.

Been using the "fixed" LiSA for a few weeks now and have no major gripes. It would be perfect except for two bugs that I wish someone could tell me how to fix:
1.) Upon every computer startup, LiSA's preferences box appears and has to be clicked to close.
2.) The voice is nice, except everything is announced TWICE

Aobo Keylogger Standard

Kosovar1 commented on 08 Jul 2011

Keylogger utilities are so easy to create, but are the most expensive software in the world for what you get. The makers know this and that's why they get away with charging ridiculous prices because a key logger is still cheaper than hiring a private investigator to snoop on your husband, your kid, or your employee. To use a key logger, you simply need a hundred bucks and absolutely no sense of ethics or moral compass. I wish someone would invent a utility that would melt down the offending computer once keylogger software is detected. Now that would be worth $80!

Marine Aquarium

Kosovar1 reviewed on 13 Mar 2011

Ok, so the image is gorgeous and it the software is stable. I have owned almost every version of this screen saver since it was released. Call me nuts, but the company logo, which apparently cannot be disabled, bugs the sh*t out of me! I thought the reason we pay for software is to avoid the annoying advertising.

Autodesk Time FX Screensaver

Kosovar1 commented on 09 Feb 2011

How the heck does a screensaver get a four-star rating if it has been reviewed ZERO TIMES? Hey, just asking.

Google Chrome

Kosovar1 commented on 09 Feb 2011

Without full, native H.264 support, Chrome is just more junk to me so I don't think I'll ever use it again. I hate it when companies like Google forget that the customer is #1, but still choose junk (WebM) just to hurt Apple. Apple successful incorporates the best technology and web standards into their hardware and software. It's clear now that Flash and WebM are inferior to the new standards, so Google, take note or start to see your long slide downwards alongside Microsoft and Adobe!

Skype

Kosovar1 reviewed on 09 Feb 2011

How does a big, successful company like Skype repeatedly produce such awful software? I mean, the UI is very counter-intuitive and it hogs screen real estate on my MacBook Pro. Skype make me wonder if the makers of their software are all refugees from Microsoft. Skype was supposed to be the cheap alternative to POTS, but they keep raising their subscription rates... and what's up with this ridiculously expensive conference call feature? Companies like Google need to remind Skype about why we all used to like using Skype.

FaxFresh

Kosovar1 commented on 04 Feb 2011

The developer page says that the fee is $.25 per page (minimum $1). Why, then, does the image on MacUpdate show a five-page pdf document as costing $5.00? It should cost $1.25, by my reckoning.
