About Me

Gender: Male
HAL's capabilities, like all the technology in 2001, were based on the speculation of respected scientists. Marvin Minsky, director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and one of the most influential researchers in the field, was an adviser on the film set. In the mid-1960s, computer scientists were generally optimistic that machines with HAL's capabilities would exist within a few decades. For example, AI pioneer Herbert Simon had predicted in 1965 that "machines will be capable, within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do".
However, as 2001 approached, it became clear that the film's depiction of computer technology was too optimistic. Capabilities such as natural language processing, lip reading, and commonsense reasoning on the part of computers were still science fiction.

TrashMe
But, AppCleaner is free and good, too. I need an argument to buy it.
How about adding an archive feature, like AppDelete or CleanApp have? This killer feature would finally convince me to spend the money.
Tab for Google+
However, when I want to post, it doesn't load my circles. Says "circles cannot be loaded". Other than that, working just fine.

Trash Compactor
MUCH. TOO. EXPENSIVE.
For what it does. Please correct that and you may expect some business.
Enqueue
I won't start from scratch with my playlists, so it's basically unusable for me right now.
Hoping for a bug fix.

It's always crashing close to the 90 % mark, indeed. I have about 4.900 songs loaded in iTunes, of which about 4.300 have been imported into Enqueue when the crash occurs.
Hope you get it resolved, because I really like the app, and intend to replace my iTunes usage by Enqueue.

Keep up the good work!

BitTorrent
Things keep getting worse with BitTorrent. Transmission or Bits on Wheels are waaaay better and more reliable.
