Fantastic app, great product support with regular, easy-to-get updates accomodating the latest browser changes. Makes computer use a quantum leap easier. Wouldn't be without it. Even my tech-hating wife can use it easily.
Dear MacUpdate: it'd be a service if you'd note on the main (first) page that the item in question is a beta. Admittedly only a small inconvenience, it's still a pain to click on the item, only to find this info on the item's separate page.
Simply want to add my praise for AJ! While rarely needed, sometimes it's the only useful tool. Really glad to hear it works on Lion, except for perms (a minor issue, see below), but I, too, plead with the developer to never, never, never abandon the project.
Best - easiest, cleanest, most intuitive, most thoroughly thought-out - clip app there is! I'd used iClip since it was a pup, loved it, and after iClip 4 died (incompatible with a newer Mac OS), there really was no adequate replacement. Now, with iClip 5, we can have it back again on Lion (SL, too, I think)!!!
It's a steal at this promo price, and complaints about not honoring previous customers are unwarrented: this is a new guy, he re-wrote the whole program, and it's a whole new version. Before long, the promo price will be gone, and then he'll get, and deserves, a good price for his work.
I really don't understand the carping I read. This guy breathes life back into a great app that died, because the previous developer stopped doing anything, and instead of cheering him and being happy to have it again, you complain.
He didn't leave v4 and its users in the lurch, they did. He brought it back.
If your only previous experience with iClip was getting bilked at the end of v4, I can understand your irritation. But if your experience included really using it for a while, and, like most users, you were very happy, I can't understand that your sour taste isn't more than compensated by having it again.
He can't honor previous licenses because he hasn't got that data.
He can't sell/give/whatever to you directly, that's MacAppStore policy.
C'mon, we're talking about $9.99. Even if you thought it was risky - the app's no good, the guy's going to behave like his predecessor and let us down - given what people said about it until v4 folded, and what v5 users are saying now, is $9.99, about the price of 3 Big Macs or a movie ticket, really not worth the risk? You've gotta be kidding!
Adrian, sorry I didn't think of that. Of course there are people who don't/can't use Lion or the App Store, and you didn't make us aware of that. And, re your second point, I simply would have thought that Apple would've made it a requirement. Apparently, I was mistaken, and I apologize to those of you to whom such things were applicable.

For all the rest, you gotta be kidding.
