Jaikoz

The trial will let you add and manipulate thousands of files to your heart's content (I waited 6 hours for it to run the "Auto Correct" feature on my library, not to mention a few hundred by-hand corrections), but then once you're done it will suddenly inform you it will only save all that data for 20 of the files. What a massive waste of my time.
If you want to restrict the trial to 20 files at a time, that's no problem. Just do it like all the other apps do: only allow people to add 20 files. This seemed like a great app up until it decided to spring that BS on me from out of nowhere.

Unfortunately, this was not true. Because it's not obvious you have to "save" after editing (ie. iTunes just commits the changes immediately), when I was done I simply quit Jaikoz. At that point, a dialog popped up to say I should save. Not a problem, except that when I hit the box's "save" button, it starts saving, then suddenly when it hits 20 informs me of the limit and promptly finishes quitting (really there's barely even time to read that final message).
I appreciate your quick response though.

I deleted this app immediately due to this offense, so I don't feel right giving it a rating.

Yes, I can disable it in the preferences, but not necessarily before the 'damage' is done. Your response is like saying a hotel whose doorman pokes you in the eye on the way in has a perfectly reasonable policy, because all you have to do is walk in to the lobby, [get poked in the eye,] and tell the front desk you don't want to participate.
Since the app never informs people that it is sending their data to the developer, they won't necessarily think to look in the preferences to begin with. By posting about it here, I was hoping to help others at least be aware of it, as well as let the developers know of my displeasure - apparently that bothers quite a few people!
This may run afoul of privacy laws in countries with stricter standards (ie. Germany). In any case, it's rude.
As I pointed out, Sparkle's default behavior is to ask the user for permission. Why not just leave it this way?
