Due

Panthera reviewed on 16 May 2012

Very nice. I started with iCloud sync, but I am wondering if there are any advantages in using this versus Dropbox sync (or vice versa). Is one faster, more responsive, more reliable, etc?

I agree with the other commentaries that this is a very promising contender in the very competitive task alarm market; I am also looking towards its future development.

Growly Notes

Minor Notes update (1.2.7)

So many people are using web servers to backup their notebooks, and not zipping them as we recommend, that we enhanced Notes to recover when the server doesn’t copy all the notebooks’ components. This is the only change in this version.

Panorama

Panthera commented on 12 Apr 2012

The title of this application belongs to the database Panorama so I think the authors should find another name no matter how much they think this one is descriptive. The database has been around for more than 20 years (originally titled OverVUE it appeared in the eighties).

Growly Notes

Panthera reviewed on 09 Jan 2012

This application is incredible and the price (free) is nothing less than stunning.

It most closely resembles Curio. It is far simpler to operate though.

Try the export function. You can easily get very high quality notes back out of this app and into other programs.

I haven't seen free software of this caliber in years.

iClipboard

Panthera reviewed on 14 Dec 2011

POS. Clips are replicated multiple times -sometimes as many as five or six. I cannot reliably pull-down the menu bar. The company does not respond to requests for assistance. I cannot recommend under any circumstance at this time.

iArt Pro

I agree completely with Lvdoc. Apple's App store is fundamentally flawed in that demo or trial apps aren't provided, and Apple states in the agreement you sign onto that if you'd ever like a refund, get used to disappointment.

Related to the difficulty of getting refunds from Apple for any reason: Apple agreed completely with me that I had mistakenly purchased an app from the iOS app store recently (accepting the logic of how it happened since I thought I was re-downloading a highly similar app whose name differed by a single character in 29 characters), yet they still refused me any refund. Period. Use Apple stores at your peril, but I suggest you simply avoid developers and vendors who sell their wares through them exclusively.

Compositions

Simple and stable. Evernote is more capable, but this is quick and effective.

Perfect Resize

Panthera reviewed on 28 Feb 2011

Today, for the second time, Genuine Fractals asked to be re-activated. When I entered the code obtained at purchase, it returned a -23 error indicating (once you consult their website), that I exceeded the number of allowed activations. Since I had ALREADY activated the software on my computer, I'm not surprised. This copy protection scheme of theirs is annoying and irksome to the extreme and I highly recommend that anyone seeking a rescaling program CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE.
