MailTabs for Mail

Thebryceman reviewed on 19 May 2011

Mail Tabs is great for reducing clutter. I use it with MailHub and Letterbox on a big screen to fly through my huge inbox.

That said, Mail Tabs would be even better if the tabs were just for the "Preview Pane" so that you could still see your Mailboxes and Messages at the same time. I look forward to seeing this plug-in develop.

Keyword Manager

Thebryceman reviewed on 16 Feb 2011

It's back! This is one of those gems that should be built in by Apple. Keyword Manager is fast, clean and indispensable if you do a lot of tagging - well worth the shareware fee.

Now if only Apple could fix all the functions they frustratingly deleted or broke in iPhoto '11...

Apple iLife

Thebryceman reviewed on 08 Jan 2011

Don't bother upgrading yet! I appreciate some of the new features in iMovie and Garageband, but the new iPhoto has so many problems I want to revert back to iLife '09. There is no real full-screen mode and I miss having the editing tools on palettes. Have also had slow-downs and freezes - unbelievable, this should still be Beta software. Wait until the next major fix at least.

SharedPlan cPro

Thebryceman commented on 22 Jan 2010

The cPro software may be free, but it looks like you need a $16 month SharedPlan Central (Web) account to make any use of it... hmmm...

Euro Converter Pro

Thebryceman reviewed on 16 Apr 2009

I love Euro Converter Pro and it is one of the few programs that runs all day on my Mac - I happily paid the shareware fee years ago. Apple's calculator is too clunky, and most other currency converters don't have the invaluable "QuicResults" feature for taxes etc. I sometimes use the Currency Converter widget as an alternative, but it doesn't have the drag-and-drop calculator features and QuickResults that I need. Having all the currencies and calculations at your finger tips is such a time saver.

For someone who travels regularly and does a lot of international transactions, Euro Converter Pro is fantastic. The 'PowerBook' keyboard feature is also useful as it helps when you don't have a numeric keypad on a small keyboard - although the latest MacBook Pros don't have the secondary numbers on their keyboards any more.

My only complaint is that the program is not Universal Binary, not a big issue as it is only a small program, and that the old 'brushed metal' interface needs an update. -- These are the only reasons why I don't give it 5 stars.

I appreciate that there has not been a program update for years, but hopefully the developer will find time to 'freshen up' this gem of a program.

pdf-Recover

Thebryceman reviewed on 21 Sep 2006

PDF-Recover is fantastic. I have tested it with a few of my files and (40bit an 128bit encrypted) and it openend them all... Actually that is a bit scary! Still for fast PDF recovery this does an excellent job!

Product Activation is a little cumbersome (but probably necessary). However, I recently I had an activation problem and the staff at Universe Software / Ovis were incredibly fast to respond and fixed my problem straight away.

Highly Recommended.

BwanaDik

Thebryceman commented on 17 Jun 2006

BwanaDik is THE BEST IP monitoring Menu Bar Application. I have tried many others and BwanaDik is now the best all round! Simple, elegant and does everything I want.

I only reviewed version 2.0 a week ago and can't believe that version 2.5 is now out with E-mail support!

So, in a heart beat I have now donated as promised. Thanks for a great App John!

BwanaDik

Thebryceman reviewed on 06 Jun 2006

Bwanadik is a well done app that I have used many times and it was very useful when had a bad ADSL connection.

However I have had to go back to IP Menu (very similar program) as it automatically sends an e-mail if your IP address changes. If Bwanadik could encorporate an automatic e-mail system on IP change then I would use it and donate to the author in a heart beat.
