What was the best and most efficient password manager ever is now buggy and massively inefficient. In addition to the missing features, and the slow and inefficient interface non-improvements, now 1Password gives me the message that the database for the browser is corrupted and I must quit Safari with CMD+OPT+Q to clear the corrupt database. This is happening at least three times a day.

I've also discovered that some sites that IPassword used to log me into without problem will not accept its input anymore. It's become a sporadic piece of software..

I can't figure out why the developers ruined a great piece of software, confused the interface, and released a buggy version with, they admit, critical features missing. Why not just make it compatible with Lion and leave well enough alone? Why not at least wait until they squashed rid of the big bugs and made it feature-equivalent to the previous version before before releasing it?!?. This is the second time they've changed the interface since I've used 1Password and I have to relearn and develop muscle memory all over again. Maybe the developers have the time to repeatedly relearn new interfaces for the software that they use for daily production, but in the real world of business, efficiency and consistency is critical.

Stay away until this is all fixed. Maybe it will become a great piece of software again, but it surely isn't now.

I've been using Sophos for a few months now, after getting tired of paying Intego's very high annual subscription fees. It doesn't slow down my system like Intego's products do, and has found PC viruses on three occasions that Intego missed.

In a two month test to see if I could ditch Intego's pricey software, I would first run Intego and then run Sophos. Three times Sophos has found PC viruses that Intego didn't find or report, let alone quarantine.

And... it's free!

Very highly recommended!

Dane - Please update Widemail for Lion. Even though Apple has made progress with Mail.app in Lion, I really need the alternating row colors that Widemail provided but which Apple doesn't. It's so much easier on my upper-middle-aged eyes. Please...

Insanely great program! Simple and easy to figure out and use so that's there's an extremely minimal learning curve. Does everything I need without being bloated like most other mindmapping software. I use it everyday for many different uses, and have even outlined a complex book I'm writing with it.

Simply the best!

Great calendaring program from the original developers of the legendary Now-Up-To-Date app of the 90's. It's easy to use, stable, powerful, syncs flawlessly with others, MobileMe, and my iPhone, has great ease-of-use functions that iCal lacks, and is a joy to use!

On top of all this, the developers are super responsive. I've emailed three times very late at night and on weekends with suggestions and questions expecting a reply in a couple of days, and to my total surprise my emails were answered instantly and personally event hough it was late at night and even on a weekend.

As a long-time Now-Up-To-Date and Contact user (since the early 90's) I've been looking for a replacement since the program was getting old and creaky and wouldn't sync with iPhones. The current Now developers -- not the BusyCal people who were the original developers -- promised a delivery date for NowX that has come and gone almost three years ago and even took people's money for the upgrade without delivering that upgrade until last month -- almost three years later than they said they would and after years of empty promises! To add insult to injury, the new version is hard to use, unintuitive in many everyday functions, lacks copy and paste, lacks undo, lacks drag and drop, has no ability to share with others on a network or over the internet, and you can't even manually copy its database from a desktop computer to a laptop reliably without serious and many times unsurmountable problems, is buggy, has serious sync problems and is overall a frustration and a serious waste of time. I've also tried Daylite, Contactizer Pro, and SOHO Organizer, but have always come back to BusyCal.

BusyCal is what Now-Up-To-Date used to be, except updated with all the modern technologies including flawless syncing -- and it's a joy to use on top of that! Add to that their responsiveness and I think they have a winner on their hands! Highly recommended.
