Goldberg X

Idjster commented on 23 Oct 2011

This is probably one of the most useful and thoughtfully designed little viewer/editor around. The only thing I miss is being able to use it under Lion. Is there going to be an upgrade of the app, compiled for Intel? I miss it SO MUCH!

Thoth

Idjster commented on 06 Sep 2011

Thoth was my first 'real' GUI newsreader when I came over to Macs many years ago. I loved it then, and I have to say that I'm really glad to see it resurrected. There are lots of choices now, but for good filtering and threading it was hard to beat Thoth. I'm glad to see it's gone Intel now too!

Divine Office

Idjster reviewed on 25 Jan 2011

As a regular user of the 4 volume Divine Office, I liked the thought of this and decided to give it a chance. What a wonderful idea, and a really great implementation of it! It not only has the prayers for the hours themselves, but the page references for those who use the 4 volume or single volume Christian Prayer. It's nicely designed, the colours are attractive (and allows 3 different options), it shows an image of the day and has a page of explanation of any special days on the Church calendar. Personally, I think this app will be of great value to me, and so far I've not found a problem with it. Great work!

Ehon

Idjster reviewed on 04 Oct 2010

If you're looking for a way to catalogue your ebooks this is a really nice choice. I've tested it with quite a few formats in my collection and so far Ehon has handled them all without a hiccup. It inserts as much information from the file as it is able to and allows you to edit All the information. It has integrated readers for the formats as well, so you can read right with in the application. Finally it has a really attractive interface. It really does look good and keeps within the 'Mac' look and feel. It is quite quick in its imports and does a good job as far as I can see. There are other apps that can do this, and may have even more options, but they're slower and more complex (and not as good looking!). For my needs, Ehon fits the bill very nicely.

GraphicConverter

Idjster commented on 01 Oct 2010

I know this isn't the place to get help with the app, but in the change to an updated 'look and feel' did something get lost? Where is the editing toolbox? GC starts up in erase mode and I can't find anywhere (either the app toolbar or the drop down menus) to choose anything else. Neither the help nor the manual (it's for v. 6.4.2) are of any help either. It's probably staring me right in the face, but I can't see it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Found it. It was a corrupt dl. Everything seemed to work, but a new dl fixed it.

Google Chrome

Idjster commented on 13 Jan 2010

Like more and more apps out there, it is Intel only. Too bad.

(Yes, I know. Get with the times, right? Try to remember that a lot of us have PowerPC Macs that work just fine, some purchased just before Apple's Intel revolution, and they're quick and very, very functional. Not everyone upgrades every time something new comes out. There's a huge user base of PowerPC-based Macs out there, and people keep forgetting that...)

This looks like a nice little app, and for the price I'd buy it in a minute, but Intel only again...

It's a sad thing that those of us who keep our computers for more than 3 years start losing out on good apps like this.

If you ever have a PPC version, like I said, I'll buy it in a minute.

Quiet Read Pro

Idjster commented on 29 Oct 2009

This looks like a great app, but do things really have to be Snow Leopard only? There are a lot of macs out there that aren't Intel, and people are going to continue using them without updating to the new system. Please, developers! Remember the bulk of users and make these backward compatible!

Weather Vane

Works well. Has Canadian weather, sits out of the way in the menu bar, it works as advertised. I really like this app! Very nicely done!

LinkLite!

idjster commented on 26 May 2008

Can someone tell me why all Adobe Air apps require unrestricted system access and why we should trust these apps when they also have unrestricted internet access? I'm not questioning anyone's honesty or sincerity, I'm only wondering about the possible security implications. Thanks.

I see. I only asked as Air itself gives a warning about it not being signed and then about it needing 'unrestricted access' to the system. Thanks for the reply.
