MacDropUpdate
Dperugini reviewed on 03 Dec 2011
-------------------------------------------------
As I promised the Sebastian (the Developer), I have re-evaluated 'MacDropUpdate' beyond version 2.0.5, with which I appeared to have a bit of strange behavior that left me cautious about installing and using it. Sebastian courteously contacted me assured me that the behavior I was experiencing was not part of his experience with the application. He encouraged me to
I am happy to report that with both versions 2.0.6 and 2.0.7, NONE of the strange dialogs resurfaced. Apparently, the strangeness lay in some corruption on my computer, for when I reinstalled my Snow Leopard Operating System and installed 2.0.6, the symptoms never showed themselves. I now have updated to Lion and just installed MacDropUpdate 2.0.7 and everything seems just fine.
My apologies to Sebastian for panicking and falsely reporting what I thought was suspicious behavior. I sincerely hope my assumptions did not adversely affect his download count.

That's a bit too creepy for my taste. 'CleanApp', here I come!

I appreciate your immediate feedback - you sound sincere in your conviction that the application should not have acted in the manner I experienced. Perhaps there was something quirky going on my end.
I noticed that you have a new version posted here at MacUpdate - I'll download that and give it a try. I was traveling earlier and did not have access to my home computer where I have more resources (screen capture apps, etc.) to better work with you to document the issues I detected with your earlier. If I can reproduce what I detected as the problems with the old version (2.0.5), I'll try to screen capture the process and contact you directly. I'll also install 2.0.6 and see if the problem persists in that version.
I do hope that there is no real problem with your 'MacDropUpdate' - if that's the case, I'll definitely write a retractive review or, if possible, remove my low-star review.
Regards,
David

Air Todo
Dperugini reviewed on 22 Jul 2011
Be sure to download both the MacOSX and the iOS version of 'Air Todo' and you'll be in To-Do heaven. Although it lacks some key features that make the other To-Do list apps still valuable (for example, the abilities to set up more than one list, or to even reorder items in that list), what puts this one on top of the heap is the ability to synchronize between all of your devices (computers and mobile). Some of the reviews are claiming that it doesn't sync, but that hasn't been my experience. I created a list on my iPhone, and in the time it took me to check the Menu item equivalent on my desktop, the sync had taken place. Similarly, adding an item in the MacOSX version immediately synced it to the iPhone.
Hint: Make sure your settings are allowing synchronization. On both the iPhone and computer versions, be sure the 'Auto Sync' setting is set to "ON". You might also want to set the computer version to "Start At Login". By default, all of those settings are already set to ON. If your iPhone version is not immediately syncing, try dragging down on the entire screen (that refreshes the screen).
Many thanks to the designer, Chongyu Zhu, for an excellent early effort. Add a few more features to 'Air Todo' and my iPhone's 'List Folder' will become less crowded.

Google Maps Plugin
That is true, but the built-in service only provides a link to the Google map ('Map this Address'). 'Google Maps Plugin 2.7.1' also provides the following services:
- Google Directions (which lets you plug in a second address for directions)
- Locate in Google Earth (launches Google Earth version of map)
- Google Preferences (a whole bunch of useful additions, such as displaying phone number on the map listing).
- Google Map for [Address Book Entry] - whatever Preference options you set are available with this option. If you option to use the built-in plain vanilla 'Map This Address' option, it's still there, which is very thoughtful of the Google people.

So rather than flaming the poor developer, how about simply emailing him with a problem that you're having or a feature that you'd like to see introduced.
