I bought this program for a BMX shop in NYC. We were on a budget and we wanted to use our macs as a POS. BAD IDEA! The software is full of bugs and what makes the program even worse is the rude classless man Steve Crossman who thinks he is the demi xcode god of Pittsburg. The guy is a scammer everytime your machine is broken down, fresh install, etc. the activation does not work! You make the call thinking you will get service and then the guy goes nuts. Talks down to you and makes you feel like crap for buying the software. BUYER BEWARE we opened a case against this guy out of principle with the EIRE COUNTY CONSUMERS AFFAIRS AGENCY....IF ANYONE ELSE WAS A VICTIM OF THIS GUY PLEASE CONTACT POSTBIKES@YAHOO.COM.

SPICOLLI  I totally agree with what Beeblebrox said plus-

Wish I had bought something else -as a small start up business I purchased macposx because it was the least expensive. Big mistake. This software is the least intuitive piece of software I have ever had the misfortune to try and figure out.

While it does work and do pretty much everything you would need pos software to do, getting it configured is a nightmare. Customizing the reports to show the info that you need is an exercise in utter frustration. And while tech support is available-the guy is just outright rude, talks down to you in a manner and tone of "how dare you not understand and be able to use my software".

Buy a different package -buy once cry once, buy this P.O.S. and prepare to spend hours getting it configured.

SEPTIMUS  This program has the UGLIEST interface I've ever seen. Even it it was the best app in its class I still wouldn't use it, even if I get paid to use it.

BEEBLEBROX  I can't say my experience with MacPOSX has been satisfactory. I wish that were not the case because I generally like supporting small developers.

The software itself is functional enough. Screens are customizable, if a bit dated looking. It will do the job but it is somewhat buggy in key areas and abstruse in others (I won't go into those frustrations given that only top-notch applications avoid kludges and unfortunately, this app is not in that category). The Filemaker layout functionality is difficult to use and so you will need to rely on the developer for help in this area (which he will give at first).

Reporting from the app initially seems extensive but in reality, is not that user-friendly, nor are reports easily customizable. One can view lists of items but these are read-only views and not editable. One must return to a single record mode to edit rather than in a spreadsheet form which would be much faster and more intuitive, especially if you have lots of items in your database. The developer recommends printing out the list view for reference when editing but it would be easier if the app used the standard OS X convention of double-clicking on an item in a list and having an edit dialog pop up at that point.

Because there are dozens of individual databases and config files, don't expect to troubleshoot the app on your own if you run into problems. It is labyrinthian. This is one program that requires hefty support from the developer to keep it functional. There is no "phone home" feature built into the app for you to send the developer information about an error so one must dig through hidden files and logs to send back information that will help him resolve the problem. Of course, if the POS station is in use, this is a nearly impossible task and must be done after hours.

Unfortunately, customer service for the app is a mixed bag at best. The developer, while knowledgeable and responsive, is surly, terse, and prefers to avoid writing complete sentences. He makes no attempt to hide his contempt for users who don't appreciate or completely understand his software. He will make an attempt at being thorough, even providing screen shots of how to do things but he is loathe to take responsibility for his software's shortcomings nor will he explain how to get around these shortcomings without you having to weed through dozens of brusque, contradictory, or "oh yeah? so's your old man" style emails. Programming is this developer's specialty, not customer service.

While purchase of MacPOSX ostensibly includes email support, the developer may tell you that he won't give you that support and to simply rely his marginally organized and somewhat incomplete online support docs. This can be problematic if your issue is not addressed in those docs. There is no reference section in the support pages, only a tutorial (which is not accessible from any menu on the home or support page but can be found here if you want to peruse it) so looking up specific issues by index is not, from what I can tell, possible.

Ultimately, if you don't mind working with a developer who is highly defensive and easily angered, then this software will do the job for you. If you have higher expectations of a Mac developer, look elsewhere.

I give the application MacPOSX itself a grudging thumbs up as it does the job. The support for the app makes the thumb go the other direction however. Too bad too, it has potential.
