I use my Atari ST to do essays on, simply because I'm too distracted on my iMac, so labelling floppies is important to me.
This app isn't too bad, but there are some places where the dev has slipped up. Just little things, really, like the colour picker not changing any colours at all, and the quit option in the menu says "Quit NewApplication...". Certainly not much worth paying for.
What really ruins this promising sounding app is that it doesn't even label correctly; I can type the title and it all appears correctly, but then, if I type anything in any of the other boxes it pushes everything up a line, so the title appears further up the disk than it should do. There is a work around, where you can change the font size of the other labels down to ten, then it seems to look presentable. The point is though that I shouldn't need to change the font size whenever I want things to look tidy enough.
Speaking of tidy; the interface is *mauled*! The current label slider makes the window about twice as large as it needs to be. The buttons for Font, Calender and Colour (which doesn't do anything) are huge and really should be push buttons rather than round bevel buttons. As a developer myself, I can see why NiteOwl have made this software, but they needed to be more careful.
So, all in all, I give this app a generous 3 stars, simply because it's helped me label my Atari disks, barely. That, and it's probably the only one out there.

Is there a stable version which will work with x86 10.4?
