MAC66GRAPHICS  I tried this a while bak on tiger OS . Was buggy then and is still so. Tried the zoom feature and computer froze up. Couldn't even force quit. Had to restart mac manually. I'll pass on this. Be fore warned!!!  
(Version 1.1)

TANKKNIGHT  When i replaced my ATI x1900 cards (they kept over-heating and no longer under warranty) I got nvidia 7800 gt cards (not great gaming cards but they don't over-heat) I was able to use OmniDazzle. The kid in me loves this and I would rank this as 5 just because it is fun ... Oh, i paid when it first came out and still feel it was worth it. Unfortunately i've changed something on my G5 and when i have Safari and iTunes and Entourage running (i have other apps running too), my G5 will slow to a crawl with the beachball spinning. The G5 looks like it is frozen, but at about every 2 mins the clock will change and sometimes a mouse click works and it will switch to the app that got clicked. I did not spend a lot of time in diagnostic after figuring out generally what the issue is. It was fun, but since Omni is not spending any real development on this product going forward i just removed it. It was alot of fun for awhile so i don't have any regrets retiring it.

AYUB  Wow! Finally! It's Free. Yay! Thanks for setting it Free!!! :)  
(Version 1.1)

HEZMANA  I purchased this program and it is great fun. All the critic just are not interested in having a little fun with your desk top. It has also helped my 82 year old mother keep track of her pointer.

Lighten up!  
(Version 1.0.1)

ELEGRAPHY  iCursor do the same and it's free.  
(Version 1.0)

DARTH BROOKS  Fifteen dollars for this? You're nuts.  
(Version 1.0)

ADFASDFASDFASDF  Silly. Absolutely silly.

But there's no accounting for taste…  
(Version 1.0 Candidate 1)

GERBER  Very slick little toy/utility. Could be extremely useful for demos, training or screen recording to highlight important screen elements on-the-fly.

About half of the included effects are truly useful for "serious" purposes, and the rest are just wacky and fun. (And some of them may cause seizures!)

If you've already shelled out $50 or whatever for a screen recording utility and make some money doing training, or if you're a software designer who wants to do slick demos, $15 could well be worth it for this app.

If you just want to find your mouse, that price will be hard to swallow, and you're probably better off with one of the many less expensive solutions.

For a beta, the application is quite full featured and stable, with all the spit and polish that Omni is known for. I have had no crashes or other problems with this program. It does seem to eat up a few CPU cycles for some of the fancier effects (pixie dust, for example), but isn't too bad. The less graphically intense effects made little/no hit on performance.

Be sure to check the hardware requirements, as I quickly found this wouldn't work on my aging TiBook, although it works fine on my 1 ghz Powerbook.

SWGS1  Hi, if you suffer from Lost Cursor Syndrome, and you don't have $15 lying around to cure it, I feel you. Try Mousepose, it's free, and accomplishes the same goal. http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/16913  
(Version 1.0 Beta 2)

MACPLANET2  O.k. Nice Idea.

Nice thing to release for a software company as a holiday gift. But charging 15 bucks for this?

Bugreport: The standard key combination Cmd-< does not work on German or French keyboards, since this combination is used for toggling windows.  
(Version 1.0 Beta 2)

GRYPHONENT  OK, its fun. For a while. Say, 10-30 minutes. Max. Whether you want to register for those or try the demo (limited by days)... you figure it out. But I really cannot see any professional use behind this gimmick that would justify $15. So, I recommend it just for trying it and experiencing the fun factor. For a while.  
(Version 1.0 Beta 2)

EMULAUNCH  One thing I have found nice about this app is that it writes on the desktop much like Desktastic does but with slightly smoother stroking. If they could build in some ways to control the smoothing of the strokes, an eraser quick button, and a way to hide the drawing (instead of just clearing) this would be appreciated.  
(Version 1.0 Beta 1)

OMNISUPPORTGUY  There seems to be some issue with a certain class of Intel hardware — the app crashes deep in Apple’s CoreImage code on these machines. It runs fine here on several MacBook Pros, Intel iMacs, Intel Mac minis, MacBooks and such. We’ve not received any reports of crashes on PPC machines.

We’re trying to track this problem down and squish it, so any extra bug reports we can get would be helpful(particularly with Apple System Profiler reports).  
(Version 1.0 Beta 1)

FREEDMAN  $14.95 for a cursor locator? I guess Omni is unaware of Mouse Locator. It's a 5-star preference pane that's free.  
(Version 1.0 Beta 1)

NEO979  Here's a free one

$15 for this is a joke, especially since Apple stopped using crummy passive matrix displays years ago. Cursor "submarining" is practically a thing of the past.  
(Version 1.0 Beta 1)

ORION MK. V  Doesn't work on my TiBook, so there's more than just than just OS 10.4.6 as a requirement (which I have).
