Uno

Virgeist reviewed on 23 Jan 2012

I am exasperated by this trend of labeling a lack of features as a feature. Sometimes less is more, but this does not apply here. Just stick with TextEdit, guys.

[Version 1.1.4]

Dupin

Virgeist reviewed on 06 Dec 2011

Excellent software from the unconstested master of iTunes plugins. Does what it says and does it well, and is reasonably priced.

[Version 2.4.1]

iA Writer

While an excellent software on the iPad, the mac version is quite useless and a big ripoff. Lack of features does not constitute a feature in itself, except in Kafka's literary works.

The interface is smooth and pleasurable to handle, which is why I've not given it a half star rating, but that's it.

I regularly have to write papers in French and was furious that this app does not even support simple accented characters like é or à which happen to come in several.

It is also a pity that considering the price, there is no support for asian languages or other scripts, but at least the app warned us of this beforehand, unlike with most of its faults.

Damn you spammers, damn you!

I don't see the point of paying $8 for something AppCleaner can do for free with a cleaner interface. Even if AppCleaner did not exist, the price would still be unjustifiably high.

The fact that it runs in the background and does its task automatically is irrelevant since uninstalling apps is not an action that has to be done regularly. In fact, I'd rather have a app that launches only when needed than one that consumes even tiny amounts of resources all the time. The less programs running at once the better.

That said, I gave it a one star instead of a half star rating because its icon is easy on the eyes.

Apptivate

Virgeist reviewed on 02 Nov 2011

App does exactly what it says, is reasonably priced, and the developer responded to my queries. Highly recommended if you spend a lot of time at the screen. For example, I toggled F6 to be my browser shortcut and it saves me so much time.

WriteRoom

It does what it says but is needlessly expensive. I feel like they are preying on gullible mac users, so I cannot give it a high score.

Wow, a lot of haters here!

Flip, I don't know how clearer I could have made my review : app in theory good, but too expensive for what it is! Are you an alternate account of the developer or something?

Anyway the price of $9.99 is perfectly reasonable, if I had seen it at the time I would have written a much more positive review. Thanks to Stoneman and sjk for pointing this out, I wish Macupdate staff woul update this page.

This is going to be a lawyer's field day. They're going to destroy you, man.

Does what it says, free, nothing more to add really.

Xslimmer

Virgeist had trouble on 28 Jul 2011

This app cannot damage your apps in any way, right?

[Version 1.8.2]

Tunnelblick

Virgeist had trouble on 05 Jul 2011

Urgent help needed please. I live in a country where the internet is partially restricted, so a patchy connection can cause me some VERY unpleasant problems.

I use tunnelblick with a paid VPN service and so far it has worked perfectly but the other day I noticed that my ip was exposed at some point because the connection dropped! How can I prevent the connection from dropping? Alternatively how can I make certain apps like Transmission, Sparrow or Chrome forcequit or refuse to work if I am not connected?

Viscosity

Virgeist had trouble on 21 Feb 2011

Can someone tell me if this is better than Tor?

[Version 1.2.3]

Macindows

Virgeist had trouble on 21 Feb 2011

Got the same problem as below, the application crashes immediately upon launch. However I do have x11 installed. In fact, I was able to launch freeciv (which uses x11) without any issues.

So what's up? I'm seriously considering purchasing this software if it does what it's supposed to do.

[Version 0.8]

VirtualBox

Virgeist had trouble on 21 Feb 2011

Can this allow me to run Windows games on my mac like boot camp?
