I am bumping up my rating to 4 stars after using the app for a few days and realizing that the ad supported version is free.
I still feel that the price is steep for those people that want to support the developers.
(I would like to support their efforts but I do not think this price is right)
None the less, kudos to the team for designing and building this app. I am very impressed with the performance, quality of the UI and overall UX.
Great job guys, and hope to see continued support and updates.
I am really enjoying the interface and usability of the app. I like the fact that I can do a lot of things within the same window. It has been well thought out as far as providing different ways to consume tweets from different people all within one pane. I personally don't need multiple panes as my focus is on one thing at one time and the team has accomplished that quite well.
I will continue to evaluate the app but the reason I gave it 3 stars is because the price is too high. Great features but not for this price.
So I have not completely tested every aspect of this app but based on the sections I did test I am impressed with it. I would have given it 5 stars if only it would work with Pixadex to drag and drop icons. I had to export the icons first and then had to drag them into the appropriate wells. Overall can't get any better for a free app so I shouldn't complain much but that would be one nice functionality to add.
SW seems to not like working with VirtueDesktops(VD). Or I should say, VD does not like SW. Keeps killing my VD. I am not sure if I want to buy it just yet. I might pay $7 for this app. I do like the slick new pref pane though.
I figured out that I can prevent the constant crashing by not having too many seeds going. Just wanted to share this with others since I have not heard back from the developer.
p.s. NOT COOL that they did not get back to me. I most likely will not buy this app if this is going to be the case.
App keeps crashing on a Dual 2.3 GHZ G5 with 2.5 GB RAM. I currently have over 50 seeds going on and 14 inactive torrents with maybe 4 active downloads. Seems to work fine with less number of seeds. Don't know if it will help but I also have some incomplete downloads that are about 6 GB. Any answer from the developer would be much appreciated. Thanks. Great app but can't keep it from crashing with 50 seeds.
I trashed the prefs and seems to work fine for a while but still goes back to crashing after a few days and I have to constantly keep launching the app.
WARNING: All queues will be lost if you trash prefs and you will have to manually find the torrents again. It will resume from where it left of, which is good, so you do not have to worry about that aspect.
I came across a bug in this version (1.4.3) where when I try to resize the window, it only resizes on one side and not the other. A minor bug is that the resizing is not smooth. I am running a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB of RAM.
I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem on a Power PC but not an Intel. For some reason the beta keeps crashing without warning. It just quits and I am not sure if it is a crash even. I will be working on my machine and all of a sudden I can't access the other apps on other desktops and I realize that VirtueDesktop is not running anymore and I have to relaunch it to access other desktops and apps. I am running a Dual 2.3 GHz G5 with 2.5 GB RAM.
Is it crashing on a regular basis for anyone? I am running 10.4.8 on a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'll pay $7.99 for this app. Anyone else with me?
