I want to comment first on their license policy. Here is it copy/pasted from http://support.tuneupmedia.com/entries/269240-what-is-the-licensing-policy

"Your TuneUp activation code is licensed for the lifetime of the initial machine it is installed on. Each purchased activation code comes with a one time transfer to a new machine of your choice. Simply re-enter your activation code on your new machine. "

So even though I bought the lifetime Gold level I'm screwed when I want to move this to beyond a 2nd new Mac. When (if) Apple ships a new Mac Pro I'll be jumping on it and TuneUp will have to be relicensed.

THat said: how can they sell it for $40 on the App Store: don't all App Store apps include up to 5 simultaneous installs on 5 computers???

Now the app itself is a dog. I have over 400,000 items in iTunes and when I use TuneUp I launch it and have to walk away for over an hour before it is ready. When picking tracks to clean it typically fails, perhaps because much of my music is older classical or blues/jazz music. Really makes a mess but at least it lets me confirm suggestions manually.

And as others note it crashes / hangs frequently.

I do not recommend this at all. There are other apps which do not tax the CPU loading ever track - one can create a playlist to check for example.

Avoid this...

I just received and email from MacUpdate that AcmeReader on my watch list had been updated. Still appears to be version 0.10 even if I download from the "developer" site.

MU - offering a discount on an application that has not been upgraded since 20-Dec-2007 makes little sense. Comments / reviews show it has not worked reliably on Snow Leopard and does not work on Lion. Who would want to buy it even discounted.

MacUpdate admins: past time to update this entry. The App Store shows 1.0.8 having been there since 26-Jan-2011. The price is $9.99 (not $4.99) nor is it FREE any longer.

I got an early morning email from Unsanity stating "Currently, none of our products are enabled to work on Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion." Any developer knew that since Lion's release in BETA in 2010 - I suppose Unsanity doesn't care to pay the small price to be an Apple Developer and just noticed.

Well the really odd thing is the email says Lion version will be worked on but to encourage development they want us to purchase the current version of our favorite Haxies NOW (at a discount) even though those still won't work. Give them $$$ in advance and then not had to "pay again" for the updated version. (Last time we got "donation nags.")

Seems rather shady / risky to me. The old "take the money and run" or as I often wonder about the developer "take the money and die again never to be heard from."

I really have depended on WindowShade and FruitMenu for many years and many versions but I have no respect for Unsanity as developers or their lack of support.

Thanks for the recent update. However I still have the previously reported and documented problem of double-clicking an email in Mail App and having it open and window shade when I just want it to open.

Cisco VPN use to work for me but give the Error 51 - cannot communicate with VPN Subsystem since I've gone to 64-bit mode. This error use to be an occasional problem cured by restarting my MacBook Pro. But no longer - I've gone to using Apple's own VPN in the Network Sys Pref. THat works just fine.

I'm using the latest: 4.9.01.0180 and 10.6.6

Anyone know of a fix to make this work?
