An excellent little app! One can keep the 'ticker tape' of headlines running on desktop, click on and expand any news item; or one can access a drop menu of all Auntie's stories, to choose at random. I have never had a problem with any feature AND it works just fine on my Intel Mac. Plus it's FREE!!! Many thanks to the developer.
Eat electronic death, .DS_Store files!!! It did what it says it does, efficiently and rapidly on my iMac. I checked my system with Xfile afterward... not a trace of them anywhere. Thanks for the great freebie!
I am not experiencing your problems, sorry you are having them. I just wanted to tell you to contact the Developer directly at the 'Bevy" home page. He does not scan this site as often as he would like and may not see your question for a while. If you contact him, he is most responsive and helpful. I am sure you will get your answers.
Still a BIG Bevy fan!
First, the price of the Suite is now $79.00, not the $69.00 listed above. That said, I must add that I would have liked to given this App a five-star rating--- It works (for the most part) like a charm. It is very easy to use. A user will never lack for information about the product; manuals/guides are everywhere. Support is rapid, first rate and personable. The only drawback for me is the fact that the 'Whois' search map of the "Who's There? Firewall Advisor" half of the Suite has never worked. It always displays a "cannot connect to server" notice. When I contacted the developer about this, I was told that they hoped to have this feature fixed in a future version.Great. How about my version, now? When I lay out seventy-nine dollars of my hard-earned money, I like what I purchased to work all the way, or at least be warned in advance that some features may not be available to me. Especially at the price charged.
Overall this is an excellent App, except for one small thing: The 'Whois" map has never worked. It consistently displays a "cannot connect to server" notice. When one buys an App, one tends to expect all the features to work (especially at $29.00, or $79.00 for the full Security Suite of which this is a part). The developer hopes to have this problem fixed in a future update, but several months after pointing this out to them, it still does not work. It would certainly be nice to use all the features I paid for. Even once.
This App downloads perfectly well, but will not open in 10.4.11 on my Intel iMac; no matter how I try to launch it (Finder, App launcher, dragging to dock and using 'Open' in the pop-up menu).
What an excellent application! They do not come any easier to install and use. Simple, yet elegant. It does exactly what it says it does- allows one to change the screen color to preserve night vision (very handy for astronomers). At the same time, it permits those of us with very light-sensitive eyes to change the color to something less annoying. Imagine looking at this bright, white screen as a muted lavender; or whatever strikes one's fancy. It is also just fun to use. Try it!
Have you ever heard the old saw, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth"? Caffein is FREE. When one pays for an App one gets the right to complain about it.
I have downloaded this widget three different times in hope of finding a copy which works completely. The problem is that the "SHOW TEXT" option will not function for me. It will only read: "New moon in NaN hours" and "Full moon NaN hours ago". I contacted the developer and assume he is working on this. Despite this drawback, I really like this widget. I simply let it display without text---It looks neater that way. Excellent graphics! iMac5,1 running 10.4.11
I was attracted to this widget by the nifty 'cathedral radio' icon. It reminded me of the one on which I listened to these shows as a child. After opening VRS I discovered that it contains twelve sample shows (well chosen; excellent audio) along with a link to subscribe, at $7.95 per month, to unlimited library access. I feel that the developer needs to call this a Demo rather than Freeware. Calling it the latter, then offering to sell me 99% of it, smacks of 'Bait-and-Switch'. At approximately a hundred dollars a year, as much as I like old time radio, I will stick with the truly free stuff on iTunes Radio.
