I was involved in the testing of this program. It's a great program, really, but I wouldn't buy it at this price. $20 or at most $25 seems right, but I will keep an eye out for a bundle, mupromo, maczot or other discount, or a repricing, which I suspect might be coming in short order if there are more comments along these lines. Maybe I am wrong, though, and it will take off at this price.

Looks very nice, but my personal limit for a paid screensaver is $5. If this had a standalone version that let you output stills, $10 would be a good price, or $15-20 if it output animation...

I can't help wondering if the developer might have misstepped in limiting this product to people willing to pay $10 for screen savers. I have to guess this is a fairly small market.

Although Microsoft has hidden it well, you can still download Expression for Mac for free!

This program is a lot of fun, and in my opinion, a fairly unique addition to the range of available software in the general category...

I like the themes, although I echo the hopes of an earlier review that there will be more. I would also hope that the developer create a free application that helps creative types make themes easily.

I have not paid the shareware fee yet only because I have not yet needed the output to be free of the demo version watermark, but as soon as that comes up (or as soon as it's offered at a discount through Mac Update Promo or MacZOT!) I will be purchasing.

The developers deserve congratulations for coming up with something that really offers something new!
