"A few extra features sneaked in behind Apple's back" ???

BusyCal

Bdikkat commented on 20 Jan 2012

If you use iCloud, iCal's going to launch every time you sync anyway.

"Integration with MobileMe"

MobileMe is effectively dead. What about iCloud?

[Version 1.4]

JustNotes

Bdikkat reviewed on 25 Nov 2011

JustNotes appears great, but is actually useless, since it insists on resurrecting deleted notes - even if they're deleted from Simplenote on the Simplenote website. The only way to get rid of them is to use special software to uninstall the app thoroughly. Pity.

1Password

Bdikkat commented on 10 Sep 2011

So, if you don't like the the MAS, say goodbye to upgrades. And there's good reasons not to want the MAS: updates are slow - but do you want them? - the apps become less capable, due to Apple's sandboxing; their functionality gets limited (a la BBEdit); no-one knows what further limitations Apple might impose in the future; etc, etc. But - BUT - why no non-MAS download??? What possible reason could there be for that? Do I see a dollar sign?

Fail, Agile Web Solutions. Goodbye 1Password.

Today

Bdikkat reviewed on 07 Sep 2011

It would be better if each entry didn't just look like a blob of color, corresponding to its calendar. It would look better a little plainer, perhaps with a small color blob indicator graphic to show which calendar it belongs to. Maybe also incorporate a yellow-lined "notebook" theme. As it is, the colors are just too overwhelming!

The repeated text legend "All Day Event" (for all-day events, which I have, as I suspect many others also have, many of), should be made to be less intrusive, greyed-out, or just indicated by a symbol.

You can toggle the tasks pane: you should also be able to toggle the events pane, so you can show just tasks.

Brilliant software and great support!

[Version 9.0]

QuickPick

Bdikkat commented on 25 Aug 2011

I love this but really why does it have to be using nearly 200MB of my RAM? That's way too much.

[Version 2.0.9]

iStumbler

Bdikkat commented on 21 Aug 2011

The "leading wireless discovery tool for Mac OS " doesn't work on 10.7.1

EasyFind

Bdikkat commented on 14 Aug 2011

I got this from the MAS but I can't see the latest update there, presumably due to the submission delay etc.

What happens if I download and install this one, or from the DEVON tech website and overwrite the one I've got? Will the MAS updates still work OK?

Brilliant app btw ;)

Fantastical

Bdikkat had trouble on 24 Jun 2011

There are some serious drawbacks to this app. I found that it doesn't keep track of changes in iCal - even when iCal is launched and its entries updated and quit again.

I update iCal, wait for quite a bit, then quit iCal, then look in Fantastical, and I see old entries that have been deleted.

Curiously, I found that Fantastical will accurately reflect what's in iCal *whilst iCal is open* but then it will revert to the earlier (outdated) pattern of events once iCal is quit again.

I therefore simply can't rely on it to show what's really in iCal.

It's a shame, because the eye-candy is nice.

[Version 1.0.1]

On further testing I can confirm that the app is adding previously deleted repeating events into past dates, except when iCal is open, when the events re-configure themselves correctly. Once iCal is closed again however, the deleted past events return.

Bdikkat replied on 18 Oct 2011

More problems with version 1.1 - now repeating events are shifted one day out! I just cannot rely on this software to show me what's actually in iCal.

Bdikkat replied on 06 Jan 2012

Pleased to say these problems seem to have disappeared - now very happy with the app!

CopyPaste Pro

Bdikkat had trouble on 20 Feb 2011

Trying version 3.0, I copy a chunk of text to an archive slot. Then, when I go to paste it back somewhere (carefully choosing the correct archive, by the way), something else is pasted! Furthermore, I look for the original chunk of text and it's gone! Losing data is the worst thing!

I so want to like this software, because it has one paste function I love: that is to press command-c and a key, like, any key (1, 2, K, L - anything), and then later press command-v [same key] to get it back. That, when it works, is fantastic for my coding workflow. But this "losing data" thing just means I can't trust it and is intensely annoying.
