Switché

Ctkmnd reviewed on 12 Jan 2011

Did the development of Switché die off completely or what?

This used to have an update almost daily... :S

Is it possible for the mood smilies to be a little less "in your face"?

I would still like to use them but I have no need to see the four ones not in use. So how about only showing the one, active mood-face next to the weekday or somewhere else less obtrusive. This would leave more visible space for my thoughts, the primary use of a diary.

$59 for a file tagging interface?

Did the US dollar take another drop or what?

I did and I tried the alternatives as well.

Finally settled on Tags by Gravity Applications. Much easier, leaner and with a more reasonable price-TAG!

So I still don't see the point in a whoppin' 59 dollars?! It's not like it includes a free upgrade to Snow Leopard but each to his/her own I guess.

Another interesting application where development have ceased with no word from the developer on future plans yet the application is still available for sale?!

Proceed with caution!

Is this still being developed?

There's nothing on the homepage since June last year...

$40 for streamlining a process which takes a minute or two between Safari and iTunes using drag and drop?!

Seriously? Wow, I wonder what you're thinking. From what I can gather from your website, it does not even include free updates?

I think you'd sell at least twice the amount of licenses if this would've been around $20. Having used Curator previously (which I've now dropped due to iT/S being easy enough) I can tell you it works excellent and it goes for $25 if anyone would still want something for quick-dropping album covers into music-files.

Sorry, but I'll pass.

Should one cry... or laugh?

Seriously - why?

I considered buying something like this up until I saw the pricetag...

49 euro!!!

That is too much for something like this, it is more like a retail price tag but as you add the option of getting a physical disc as well that price goes up another 19 euro. Extra support even more. What does it do that warrants that tag? It buys the licenses of other applications for me as well?

Lifetime updates? Sure, but i.e. LicenseKeeper is only $19 and it does what I need _today_ without robbing me. Tomorrow is always tomorrow, and in the rapid changing world of computers that is far off enough. It's rather gutsy to charge for all the great things you're going to do in the future... And if that's the case, how about a roadmap, so that we might know what the future looks like, at least in plan? I.e. if we're buying features we might need or if it's just bloat?

No, thank you, I'll pass on this 'investment'. Twin and Presto is now also off my list for reasons similar.
