TrailRunner

Marek reviewed on 11 Feb 2012
I have some .gpx tracks which I collected during last few years with my iPhone and MotionX GPS application. I wanted to store them in some easy to manage way on my computer, so I downloaded TrailRunner.

Well, it looks that it should be the right tool to do a job, but it just isn't. TrailRunner asks for a 'donation' of EUR 25 for a start, but you can dismiss the request. It allows to import track files in many formats, and shows useful information in quite attractive way. BUT, it is just terribly unstable. Generates various error messages almost constantly. It also refuses to import some files without a clear description of problem.

In short - stay away from it.

Speed Download

Marek reviewed on 13 Dec 2011
Yep. Everything must end. So is Speed Download.

Developers are just unable to bring fully Lion compatible version. It crashes every time when you want to add download from Safari 5.1. It works well with Firefox (thanks to FlashGot extension).

I strongly recommend free Progressive Downloader (especially when you are a Chrome user or use content providers which need 'special treatment', like Filesonic etc) instead.

Permute

Marek reviewed on 29 Nov 2011
Pretty useless.

Works hard with encoding and then creates null files.

CleanMyMac

Marek reviewed on 27 Sep 2011
Finally, I was going to buy this thing, but wait! EUR 15 for ONLY 6 MONTHS license??? EUR 40 for FULL license?!!! WTF?

I've never seen so greedy developer before!

I am sticking with Monolingual/Onyx duo. Does exactly the same (without style- yes, but I prefer to spend my 40 eurobucks on anything else).

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

If you are asking what should be proper price for UNLIMITED license of sucha kind of software I would say that it would be EUR 9,99.

It could sell in MILLIONS then.

Hydra Pro

Marek reviewed on 22 Aug 2011
Hydra Pro is practically useless in most scenarios as its built in alignment tool do not works. Literally - it is there, but nothing happens when you enable it.

Let me guess.... Will I have to pay for upgrade to 3.x? Will it be as reasonably priced upgrade as Lion's price?

I have it with MacGraPhoto bundle (Nov. 2010).

---------------------------------------------

I think you should just release 2.4 with Lion issues resolved.... Light me if I am thinking wrong.

So, no chance for bug-free, Lion compatible version??

Tried.

Takes MORE memory and CPU cycles than full featured Apple Mail.

Uninstalled.

Quicksilver

Isn't Spotlight the same thing? And it is built in, so what's all that fuzz about QS?

Acorn

Marek reviewed on 10 Mar 2011
I must say that Acorn is a little gem constantly omitted when someone makes a "image editors" list. That's so wrong!

Acorn is a compact but powerful graphics processor taking much of its power from the same source as over hyped Pixelmator does: Mac OS X Quartz Extreme.

It features user interface not seen in any other app which takes some time to familiarize with, but is instantly easy to operate (but takes too much screen space in my opinion).

What I experienced using Acorn is that it seems far more stable and polished compared to Pixelmator. It may be true (but I am not 100% sure) that Acorn doesn't have all Pixelmator's fancy tools, but what I know for sure is that Acorn's implementation ALWAYS work as expected. It is far more important.

If you ask me what you should choose: Pixelmator or Acorn - I would say that the best "do all" image manipulation package is Adobe Photoshop Elements, but if you already got it and want to buy something smart and quick to do all those everyday little image editing for your web designs - you do better by choosing Acorn.

Opera

Marek reviewed on 11 Feb 2011
Well, I was trying really hard to like Opera, but I just cant'. It is really fast with most things, but is so unstable that you will never know when will hang. Browsing with Opera is much like using alpha/nightly of Firefox - everything can go wrong (and goes very often).

Also, 1Password is not working with Opera at all and LastPass is really not the same thing.

Maybe because I have hundreds of logins already stored in 1Password?

Webbla

Marek reviewed on 14 Jan 2011
Wanted to try clean my bookmarks with Webbla, but... No luck.

First - there are "some" limitations in trial period over 50 bookmarks. I do not know what this limitations are, because Webbla just hangs processing my bookmarks. I can't go through initial process of thumbnailing, so I can't really say if this app is really helpful with what it is meant to.

It would be also nice to add some wizard helping to import bookmarks from browsers. Some less geeky users may have problems with that.
