*sniff*sniff*. yeah, smells bad. maybe your program really is legit, "emma", but the glowing reviews are incredibly suspicious. don't do this; it's called "astroturfing", and when people find out, you will discover your product gets trashed everywhere, and rightly so. astroturfing cheats, and makes us distrust our fellow reviewers, which damages the review system.
there is heavy astroturfing for this software, and it's very difficult to find a trustworthy review anywhere; even the wikipedia article sounds like an ad.
free is nice, but for something this important i'd happily pay if it had the right features. avira unfortunately doesn't at this time. there's no way to tell it that certain files it has detected (and moved!) should be left alone in the future -- false positives, for one, files in transition to my windows VM for another. i can't set it to update the virus definitions automatically (i really don't want to be interrupted for that every day, and in addition it needs me to bring up the main app for something that should at most be one click). there's no way to enlarge the main window so i can at least read what it found without having to go to a details page. i can't turn off the "real-time protection". and it seems to eat my system alive; too much of a load.
the app store does not work for all people. and even for those for whom it does work, the lack of a demo version, or at least a gallery on your website with details of what your software can produce, pretty much guarantees that we won't buy your product. even if it's just $4.99. there is so much junk software that 5 bucks here and 10 bucks there really add up. i no longer buy without trial.
i would have bought this on the spot -- the price is right. i have to add metadata to a thousand books, and i don't want to import them all into calibre just for that. but the app store doesn't work for me. i really, really wish developers would not lock themselves into the app store.
usually i try out software for at least a couple of weeks, but i bought taskpaper after only 1 day. it's right down my alley; i don't have an actual need for anything more complex with bells and whistles -- i just get distracted by customizing my task manager, *wry grin*. this is minimalist and doesn't need any fiddling whatsoever for diving right in, but it has the main features for me to keep track of the gazillion things i need to. and the scriptability makes it perfect -- i wrote a small script for inserting dates right away.
i can think of a few things i'd like it to do it doesn't do now (repeating tasks, some basic date handling), but it's even more suited for me than "things" which i used previously. because it is so minimalist, the price might seem on the high side, but i don't think it's too expensive for what i am getting.
small aside: i like that on his website the dev recommends specific other programs if taskpaper isn't quite what one is looking for. you don't see that often.
this looks really, really promising, but app store doesn't work for me. please consider alternative distribution channels (macupdate works just great).
no trial version? *sigh*. it looks good at first glance, but that's what i thought about the last 3 diary apps i've tried too. please consider offering a demo version.

if your product is good, it can stand on its own.

both links are deader than the proverbial doornail; they go to a domain farm instead of the developer.
