This is a MUST HAVE mac App. It saves so much TIME and EFFORT. Apple should have thought of it. It is an unexpected jewel, I'd know I needed it, now that I have it, I can't do without it! It just works, I just does what I need it to do, and it is a steal compared to the labor and hassle it saves. WELL DONE!

Apple Boot Camp

Dremwkr reviewed on 24 Aug 2011

Bootcamp is an essential if you want to run PC games on the mac. For example, I play StarTrek Online, it is windows only,and it only runs fast on Bootcamp. Also, I have world of warcraft on both Mac and windows, but for some reason, the windows version is faster (something about OpenGL vs DirectX. Bootcamp does what I need it to do, it is transparently easy to use, it is FREE (with OSX), and I have not noticed any problems with it crashing. In other words it just works. My only comment is that I have problems keeping my Apple MagicPad to stay connected bluetooth wise at times. As such I am giving it a slight hit in stablity. (this could be something specific to my MacPro).

ShowLionLibrary

Dremwkr reviewed on 23 Aug 2011

I have a completely different take on this.
I find just pressing the icon doing what I want, is a great thing. It is my guess that is in fact what most other users, even them that describe themselves as "Power Users" would want to do. I find it helpful and the easiest and simplest way to get the user library.

It does what I want it to feature wise, it just works, it has unbeatable value (its hard to beat free), and it is stable-it works every time.

I suppose Apple hid the User Library folder because it may have confused many by having TWO Library folders, and it is true I need access less, but when I do need it, I need it.

My thanks to the developer for sharing this simple and useful fix. I suggest he put it on the app store if he can. It is also my recommendation to Onyx developers (and the like) to make this feature available on their apps as well.

World of Warcraft

Version 4.01 (PreCat) is out, and it is optimized even more for Open GL, and has many, many ingame enhancements.

Note to Developer:
Thank you for continuing to develop and polish myWritings!
My wish list for myWritings:
*Under info button, for text frequency: have the option of word count per 1000 words.
*Add a dictionary button to the toolbar.
*Add an underline color button to the toolbar.
*Add insert line or column to table commands
*Use a brighter electric blue for the app icon (More colorful!)
*Lastly, for your default set of icons for the toolbar, include a customize button on the end.

A great app, it just works, developer is to be commended for willing to take a fresh clean approach to Word Processing. I like the customizable toolbar, I can set it up with just what I need. I am sorry I missed that feature before. My suggestion is that "Dictionary" be added to the tools available.

The developer is also to be commended for continuing to improve and polish an already excellent app, I get the feeling he has great passion for making great apps for the mac, and this app shows it.

A note to the developer: The app really needs a customizable tool bar so I could add what I needed (text Color, underline color, dictionary, table) and delete what I don't need. Bean does this but I think you can do it better. I have learning disablities so having icons for these things helps me use the app by not having to try to remember where stuff is buried in the menus.

The underlaying app is so good, its a shame, its missing this to make it a 5 star app.

The interface is clean and innovative. The app has a small footprint. It is very easy to use. Its value suffers some compared to Bean which is free, but I realize the programmer needs to have some income to support continued development of his software. I didn't notice any problem installing or using the product and found no bugs or stability issues. I standby the comments I made prevously. The developer is to be commended for making the effort to improve the basic word processor.

This app is off to a good start. I realize it is still beta, but the concept of starting off with a clean sheet of features and code is a good one.

¥I like the uncrippled try before you buy shareware concept. I would say the price was about right.
¥This app has great potential for the education market as a first WP app for children.

Suggestions:
¥I would add a button to the Format Bar of font COLOR (think of children's usage here-most schools use inkjet printers)
¥I wish the header/footer menu was less complex to look at and use.
¥Under info button, for text frequency: have the option of word count per 1000 words.
¥The option of counting and marking text per X words for freq counting.
¥Add a dictionary button to the app icon row (again think of educational use).
¥Make the font names WYSIWYG (think of children's use here).

I hope the software author finds this helpful.

One more thing: When the show tab bar is selected just show the horz. bar, make the vert. bar an option.
One more, more, thing: Have the app icon a nice bright electric Petty blue (think of children here). The app is fun to use, have the icon reflect that.
