Cobook

Mac5 commented on 25 May 2012

A truly extremely useful address book/ contact list all in one. Its the address book that Apple should adopt into their OS.
I no longer use the Apple address book which is no match for Cobook and all its features. The pull down menu is a real gem.
It simply works..

[Version 1.0]

Silverlight

Mac5 commented on 22 May 2012

I was quite surprised when I found that I needed Silverlight installed on my iMac before I could effectively run Netflix.
Surprised, because I was under the impression that damn few people ever ran this piece of troublesome software on the PC's, far less on Mack's..
Its pretty useless in todays world.

Google Chrome

I can't wait for version 21.3.999.160.173.252.825.100.438.697.845...

Toast Titanium

Mac5 commented on 09 Mar 2012

I'm using Toast Titanium 11.0.4 and it does not see this latest update to 11.0.5.

Cobook

Mac5 reviewed on 24 Feb 2012

I have long since hesitated at using the Mac address book due to its limitations and time consuming use.
Cobook has filled this void with its ease of use and slick interface.
So far I have found it to be superior in all fields when compared to the Apple address book.

Apple OS X Lion

Mac5 reviewed on 13 Oct 2011

Like many other long term Mac users (1984), I have found that Lion OS to my thinking has been dumbed down.
Perhaps we Mac user have higher expectations with every new Mac Os that is released.
I personally find there are too many silly add ons that I never use, and the OS for Mac's is becoming intertwined with IOS for the like of the iPad & iPhone devices.
Its definitely become more about glitz, and less about really improving the basic OS and making it more robust.
Perhaps its what most people either expect or want..

iGlasses

Mac5 reviewed on 24 Sep 2011

A truly most excellent little app which vastly improves the use of just about any webcam. I have been using it for a number of years, and it only improves with every update.
It works faultlessly with my new iMac, and should in my opinion be part of the Mac OS.
Excellent value for money.

[Version 3.0]

World Radio

Mac5 commented on 17 Sep 2011

I use Radium, and find it to be excellent. I would however like to see countries listed in the menu to make it a little easier searching for a suitable radio stations Having a search box is ok, but listing countries that are available to tune into would be nice.

[Version 1.7]

AppCleaner

Mac5 reviewed on 25 Aug 2011

I've been using this little app for quite some time and found it to be better than any of the other similar apps. Its successfully done its job every time, and I can't fault it. I will continue to use it to cleanly delete anything I no longer want on my HD.

Apple OS X Lion

Mac5 reviewed on 16 Aug 2011

I can't say I'm over impressed with Lion. Perhaps I was expecting more..I certainly was not expecting so many of my older apps to be disabled once I installed Lion on my new iMac.
I find a lot of the so called new features rather useless to me.. and dare I say, I found 10.6 to be more to my taste.
I'm not a new to Apple, been using a Mac since 1985, and I a good idea of what a good OS is all about.
Maybe.. just maybe we might see some improvements with future updates.
