Rename

Markie205 reviewed on 04 Feb 2012

Upgraded to Lion and could no longer use my long-time standby Renamer for Mac. Tried a few others, but Rename works like a champ, even better and quicker than my former application. Five stars and thank you to the developer.

Cuppa

Markie205 reviewed on 13 Nov 2010

Cuppa is a great little niche app that does one thing well. I use it every day to ensure a perfectly brewed cup of tea.

VueScan

Markie205 commented on 19 Feb 2010

Some people create, most others criticize.

Mr. Hamrick is dealing with a great variety of input devices, most of which he cannot test.

This software has worked well for me from the get-go using four different scanners.

If you don't like VS, then go with the apps that came bundled with your scanner.

...did I miss something, or am I unable to change the font style for individual words. Whenever I tried to bold a word, the entire message was bolded.

Also, I wasn't able to paste images inline.

Both of those issues are dealbreakers for me, even though the software is free.

Thank you for replying. It is a nice app, so I'll have to think about whether I can get by without those two features.

...and another vote for fifty dollars.

SS abandoned its loyal user base years ago when it didn't upgrade TS to OSX.

Give us a reasonably priced upgrade and our praise (hopefully it'll be worthy enough) will help you sell it to new users.

Get Tube

markie205 commented on 17 Aug 2009

Useful app, but...

1. Is there a back button as in an Internet browser?

2. Is there a way to stop or cancel a download?

I'm going to reply to my own question in the hope that the developer will see this.

Without those two features - a) a back navigation button and b) a way to interrupt a download - Get Tube is almost useless. If these features are included, I don't see them. There are two arrow buttons at the bottom of the window, but they seem to do nothing.

For some reason, the developer has completely rewritten this app,starting with one that was very useful, then morphing to one that was missing a useful feature (i.e., the ability to batch download), then to this mini-browser which doesn't work very well.

Every so often, each version of the app suddenly fails. I'm assuming that this has to do with some change made by YouTube to thwart downloads. The developer eventually catches up to YouTube, but why he feels compelled to re-write the entire app is curious.

I would gladly pay money for this app if it worked properly and remained consistent.

Please, this is not a rant at the developer, just a comment about a very useful concept that seems to miss the mark.

Get Tube

The previous version of Get Tube had a shopping cart. This version does not, unless I don't see it. That was a very convenient feature.
