AppDelete
Larrymcj commented on 22 May 2012
I've already written a 5-star review of this app but would like to (again) add that contrary to some comments here, AppDelete actually does remove more extraneous files associated with an application than any that I've tried (six others...the top ones here).

And if you place any weight at all on a developer being responsive to problems or issues, simply look at how many times the developer has responded here trying to elicit feedback to deconflict what is probably a user-related issue when using AppDelete. That speaks volumes about a developer.

After many years AppDelete remains my app-deleting application of choice.

Sparrow

New version (1.6) is released but not yet on the Mac App Store. Come on, Sparrow...please get it up there.

SEE Finance
Larrymcj commented on 02 Jan 2012
When comparing SEE Finance to all other financial app options available, I definitely give the edge to SEE Finance. And though I would really like to purchase it, the developer still hasn't added it to the Mac App Store yet. He's been promising to do so for months now, so this tells me the app still has some issues or problems for which Apple is not allowing it into the MAS yet.

Additionally, by now I'm convinced that buying new Mac apps is a much better experience from the Mac App Store. With Apple looking over their shoulders, developers keep their apps better updated and overall it's just easier to keep the updated app on your Mac.

Cocktail
Larrymcj commented on 31 Aug 2011
This app, as with SO MANY on here on MacUpdate have ratings that are totally driven by FREE vs. PAID. If Cocktail was free, it would be so far ahead of OnyX, and for good reason...it's BETTER! I have them both installed and while they're both good, Cocktail is certainly worth paying for.

@Broz: I used OnyX for may years and for me (maybe different for others) I simply didn't like the interface. I switched to Cocktail a few years ago and back then looked at the differences and saw maybe a handful of things OnyX didn't do.

Here's another example. PhotoShop Elements gets 1.5 stars and Skitch (for which there's still a free version) gets nearly 5 stars. Don't get me wrong...I use Skitch and not PhotoShop Elements, but there is not that much of a disparity between the two. Many other examples like this on MacUpdate.

I'm not saying OnyX is bad at all...I'm just saying that I like the UI better in Cocktail and more than anything over many years I've seen a trend here leaning toward rating FREE apps higher than similar apps that are shareware.

SEE Finance
Larrymcj commented on 23 Aug 2011
Is there a good reason this product is not in the App Store?

A "couple of months" has turned into four months. I would love to purchase SEE Finance, but I'm no longer buying anything that isn't in the Mac App Store.

NOTE to developer: I'm sure there are others out there who feel the same way about buying apps. You could increase your revenue by getting this app into the App Store.

Home Inventory
Larrymcj commented on 21 Aug 2011
Almost two years after I wrote a 5-star review about Home Inventory here, I'm even more impressed. Not only has the app evolved even more, but the developer (Kevin) continues to be one of the most responsive I've ever encountered. This "weekend" I re-installed Home Inventory on a new Mac and emailed him about a small issue (that was actually my fault) and he replied. Then during the course of our email exchange he continued on his iPhone (obviously trying to keep a customer happy during his own weekend...something he certainly didn't have to do). I just want to say that some other developers should take a lesson from this and maybe be even half as responsive as Kevin.

MoneyWell
Larrymcj commented on 20 Aug 2011
While I realize MoneyWell is a wonderful app, the pending v2.0 keeps getting pushed back and I wonder if it will ever arrive. In the developer's own forum back in Feb 2011 the date was to be "...by April" and then the words "...this summer" popped up. It's now almost Fall and we see nothing.

I understand things can go wrong and there can be delays...but if someone would just post an approximate date for v2.0 there might be hundreds of sales saved from those of us who have patiently waited for this but can't wait any longer. I'm ready to jump ship to SEE Finance if I don't hear something soon.

@D9: I'm looking very hard at Budget...it seems like a great app so far. I had hopes for SEE Finance, but I can't get used to the interface.

Their latest update doesn't fix much...just adds Dropbox sync, and while that's nice...where's the big "do-over"? I'm also looking at MoneyGuru as an option.

TinkerTool System
Larrymcj commented on 21 Feb 2011
I would really like to purchase TinkerTool System but I simply don't see what it can do that OnyX can't. I tried the evaluation version for the five times it lets you use it (which isn't quite enough) and tried to compare it to OnyX. Perhaps there are some features it has that OnyX doesn't and I'm just missing them. If so, I'd be happy to buy it. Simply getting rid of the startup chime isn't worth the price...I already gotten rid of that with a simple Terminal entry. Any other virtues it might have? Thanks.

Butler
Larrymcj commented on 12 Feb 2011
Like many here, I like Butler, but find it lacking in many ways, and when I've tried it over the years I have never liked it enough to keep it installed over a few days. I will be happy to evaluate version 5 (if it ever materializes) and make a decision whether to use it (and pay for it) or not. But I'm not encouraged very much by a developer who states the new version will be available "Decemberish" when it's already midway through Februaryish" and it's still not here.

I'm retired from the software industry and I fully support what Many Tricks Software is trying to overcome by making their products shareware, and I have paid for every software product that's on my computers. That said...the problem "most" developers have is making a product "they" want instead of listening to what their customers and potential customers want to see in that product. I hope Many Tricks Software listens and makes version 5 a more useful product...when/if it ever releases.

gNotifier
Larrymcj commented on 10 Feb 2011
I have to agree with Puc. At this point there is no real descriptive information about this app on the internet, much less at the developer's site. I'm not paying for an app I can't try, or at least read some reviews about first. I would really like to know if it's better than Google Notifier for Mac, but I'm not paying first to find out later.

TinkerTool System
Larrymcj had trouble on 20 Feb 2011
Just tried this for the first time and one of its features is "supposed" to be activating hidden preference panes. I activated the preference pane for the Apple Archiver but it doesn't appear under Preferences/Other. It shows in TinkerTool System as being activated.

WeatherDock
Larrymcj had trouble on 09 Nov 2009
After working just fine for several weeks, WeatherDock started showing erroneous icons and weather reports (e.g. 52 degrees and rain while outside it was 64 degrees and bright sun)...which was what the Weather Channel also reported. It's getting its info from the Weather Channel so not sure what's happening, but it's consistently wrong, so uninstalled for now. (Yes...it's configured for the correct city)

Finder Size & Position Scripts
LarryMcJ had trouble on 05 Feb 2009
These scripts are great and easily modified to most anything you want. HOWEVER...how do you stop them to go back to the way Finder displays normally, before running these scripts?

Thanks, Frank...I just wanted to make sure I could revert back to the old (screwed up) configuration, if needed :-)
