BLUESTAR  This is getting to be a joke. A new version released evry day practically. The developers either want to keep the software name in front of people ( a form of advertising) or they are a bunch of incompetent idiots who can't test their software properly before a release.  
(Version 8.41)

BLUESTAR  Updated without a hitch.  
(Version 12.2.3)

BLUESTAR  Update link is dead!  
(Version 1.5.6)

BLUESTAR  Stable and seems faster (again!) Thank You Firefox! (MAC OSX 10.5.8)  
(Version 3.5.4)

BLUESTAR  I just updated from a previous version. Opening the file selection window tells me no files are selected when there are about a dozen. Also, I asked the MOZY team to indicate the release DATE for the software downloads on their downloads page not just the Fing version number, so one doesn't have to go to their MOZY on the computer and through several clicks find the app and its version number. This should be really simple. They are too lazy to do so. I've uninstalled this program.  
(Version 1.5.1.5)

BLUESTAR  Don't you just love it when they release a nearly 1 GB update (!) and absolutely no info on what this update does!  
(Version 10.0.3)

BLUESTAR  says a lot about the lameness and irrelevance of this company when on their download page only the last download link works!  
(Version 11.1)

BLUESTAR  Great widget, love the BBC. Since RealPlayer is pretty much dead. I can't see why they can't switch to Flash player or some other streaming audio format (mp3?) built into Quicktime/ Flash. I resent having to install stupid Realplayer just for this.  
(Version 4.11)

BLUESTAR  WOW dude $99! That's so cheap! Especially considering that one can get all of the info from Apple's site free as far as how to keep your Mac running in optimum shape for FCP! AND maybe 1 or 2 utilities costing less than half would do the same thing for you (and more) in conjunction with all of the free info out there! This is a sweet deal!  
(Version 1.1.3)

BLUESTAR  Speedier. I really don't like the font smoothing. The text looks ragged and noisy as opposed to previous OSX.

Before Snow Leopard there was an option in Appearance preferences to have "Font Smoothing" set to Light / Standard/ Medium / Strong. Now there is only one. This is really frustrating and looks like cr..p.   
(Version 10.6)

BLUESTAR  Keeps crashing on me after a while...previous version was stable. Reverting... ☺  
(Version 2.1)

BLUESTAR  Breaks anything being played by JW PLayer (FLV player by LongTailVideo)  
(Version 10.0.32.18)

BLUESTAR  It doesn't accept a paste from Safari or Mail when I want to copy the spam reporting email address from Spamcop's website. Does the developer really expect people to type this in?

Doesn't allow me to select the Junk mail folder when in preferences AT ALL. NO explanation on how to do this except click on the help button below which does nothing when I click on it. This is cr...p software and clearly needs work!  
(Version 2.02)

BLUESTAR  Downloaded stand-alone updater DMG. Updated everything fine and all seems well. Excel opened even faster than before (WOW!)

10.5.7 Leopard  
(Version 11.5.5)

BLUESTAR  Love the new Safari. Fast as hell and slick. Like the new tab bar arrangement better than the "tabs on top" BS and I also like the "loading" dark blue mini indicator instead of the light blue progress going across the entire URL field. so 80's looking, so 20th Century... :-)  
(Version 4.0)

BLUESTAR  Seems to play vids OK but I'm unable to define a folder for snapshots in prefs, therefore doesn't take snapshots. Back to 0.9.9a... :-(  
(Version 1.0rc2)

BLUESTAR  Quickeys makes my life easier. I've been using it for a lot of years. So far no problems converting my version 3 shortcuts into v.4 and the beta holds steady.  
(Version 4.0b4)

BLUESTAR  I switched from Suitcase. Got too annoyed. Great all around and seems much better than Suitcase. BUT! I don't get auto-activation.... It only works if I have the application open. Then you also have a background application running separately. What's the point of that if the auto-activation doesn't work? You also have a CS4 Photoshop plug-in AND a background app running YET when I open Photoshop file and it asks for a font it doesn't activate! So what's the point of it all? If this is the way it works just have the requirement to have the main application open for auto-activation to work OR fix the situation and have it REALLY work with the background app and the plug-in (just like it works in Suitcase.)

Also, it still opens on its own occasionally when I simply open a file in Photoshop for no apparent reason, so this has NOT been 100% fixed. cheers  
(Version 2.0.1)

BLUESTAR  Yeah, Agreed. Overpriced crappy little software...  
(Version 8.0)

BLUESTAR  "checks whether LaunchBar is running and recommends to change incompatible LaunchBar settings. " - there is a problem with this. An annoying warning comes up every time I restart the Mac from CopyPaste that says to change the prefernec setting in Launchbar. There are no preference settings for "ClipMerge" in Launchbar!  
(Version 2.0.4)

BLUESTAR  Much faster - works with Netflix, Bank of America, Paypal.. other online banking sites. Facebook etc haven't come across a "broken site" yet. The only thing is the wait until the real deal comes out and some of the extensions that have been disabled will come back again.  
(Version 3.1b3)

BLUESTAR  One of the worst UIs in the Universe. Slow & Buggy  
(Version 1.09)

BLUESTAR  This baby just keeps getting better and better!  
(Version 1.1b3)

BLUESTAR  Yes, confirmed the window placement remembering issue has been fixed.  
(Version 5.1.1rc1)

BLUESTAR  Can others confirms that this has been fixed in 5.1.1.-rc-1 ?  
(Version 5.1.1rc1)

BLUESTAR  It has got to be the worst FTP implementation ever. Cryptic numbers, no folders, if I double click on a file it doesn't open, if I double click on a folder (which looks like a file but I know it's a folder) it doesn't open. What gives guys - this is god awful stuff!  
(Version 9.1)

BLUESTAR  Autoupdate looks on a diff server and clearly MSOFT people are fast asleep - it will prob take a couple of days  
(Version 12.1.5)

BLUESTAR  Isn't Realplayer kinda becoming irrelevant? With Flash and iTunes I don't think I ever open it...  
(Version 11.0.1 build 949)

BLUESTAR  That's ridiculous. I'm still using version 4 because of that. If a version 8 or 9 updates back can do it why can't the latest version? Welcome to developer BS.  
(Version 5.1 beta 2)

BLUESTAR  A major issue is still not fixed. See my comment below.  
(Version 5.1 beta 2)

BLUESTAR  Adobe is on version CS3 now for a year.. is that why?... :-)  
(Version 3.7.7)

BLUESTAR  always suspicious of software that is updated on a daily basis...  
(Version 4.0.15)

BLUESTAR  I hate Microsoth as much as anybody else. But this update actually installed for me and all apps are running fine and no crashes so far. I trashed my old app folder from "Applications". There was a brief tutorial on this on MacFixit. Now it's in the archives for paid subscribers only. FU Macfixit. Reinstalled Office 2008 from original installer (this was the Home & Student Edition). Didn't start any of the applications yet! Downloaded all updater "dmg" files, standalone installers. Applied them one-by-one and all's well.  
(Version 12.1.2)

BLUESTAR  "World's fastest video compression engine..." with the world's ugliest and most un-user-friendly interface :-)  
(Version 2.2.2)

BLUESTAR  Works fine so far...  
(Version 7.7.1)

BLUESTAR  This is generally a nice app. BUT! A small thing really annoys the hell out of me and the developers are not listening. I still don't see a fix in the list of issues fixed that corrects the survival of a window's size setting after a quit and re-launch.

i.e., if one sets the window's size to be larger that the document (which I prefer for working with docs) upon relaunch and re-open the window boundaries revert to a default, which is the document's boundaries. This is still working in 4.1.2 and NOT after that.  
(Version 5.0.1)

BLUESTAR  On first launch stuck at initial warning dialog that I need to create a 2nd profile for Firefox 3. Hitting the OK button 10,000 times does nothing and can't go any further - have to Force Quit. So, in summary it's pretty useless.  
(Version 2.0)

BLUESTAR  Actually font-auto activation often crashes Photoshop CS3 even with the latest 4.0.2 version.. just a comment on the last person's review  
(Version 4.0.2)

BLUESTAR  Ladies and Gents. We have finally broken new records now with ONE silly application taking up 1 GB of space on your drive! Note that Adobe owns several hard drive manufacturers and they're filling up your drive with junk just so you go out and buy bigger drives with more storage!  
(Version 9)

BLUESTAR  I would advise everyone to back up with Time Machine before the update, or just the "Microsoft Office 2008" folder in your Applications folder. After I got highly unstable applications from an update that professes to "improve stability" I restored my entire Office folder with my old apps in it and everything works fine again. Thanks to you Microsloth!  
(Version 12.1.1)

BLUESTAR  This update was supposed to be making applications more stable. I have Myday not even launch but crash upon launching. Word crashes every time I simply quit the app. Office Rminders come up with funky graphics. Microsloth is unbelievable! Just shows you what a nasty monopoly can do to software products. Leave Office alone and go for something else and generally avoid ANY Microsoft product in the future. Do not buy anything from them. They should NOT be charging us for this cr.p that simply DOES NOT WORK and you can't get your act together Microsoft! They deserve what's coming to them.  
(Version 12.1.1)

BLUESTAR  Let's face it folks, Microsoft is a WINDOWS universe god. They own the WINDOWS OS for god's sake! As usual MICROSLOTH is giving Mac users a major headache. They do NOT Give a hoot and in return I urge every mac user to STAY AWAY from Microsoft products for the Mac!

I VERY carefully updated my Office 2008 with this after reading many reviews and troubleshooting stuff on boards. I was brave and wet ahead, BUT not before backing up with Time-machine and thank god for that! Why? Because of course this update has made my previously perfectly fine Word unusable - it crashed every time I opened a doc.

In Microsloth's own words: this update is for "stability improvements" - ha, now that's a good laugh!

I reverted back to my previous version from mt Time Machine backup.  
(Version 12.1)

BLUESTAR  I still don't see a fix in the list of issues fixed that corrects the survival of a window's size setting after a quit and re-launch.

i.e., if one sets the window's size to be larger that the document (which I prefer for working with docs) upon relaunch and re-open the window boundaries revert to a default, which is the document's boundaries. This is still working in 4.1.2 and NOT after that.

Let me know if this has been fixed. Otherwise I'm not even going to bother testing this one...  
(Version 5.0.1 beta 1)

BLUESTAR  First of all: all of these people seeing nothing happening for a while when launching the update: Be patient - it will install, it needs to unpack the installation bits which take some time. Just hold on and do not cancel the process. I worked for me...

I have a Mac Pro Quad Core 2.7 Ghz Mac. I had Windows XP (SP2) running with the original Bootcamp 2.0 drivers that came with the Mac on the install disks just fine. I installed Bootcamp 2.1 from a stand-alone download under XP (SP2). When I restarted I was greeted by a horrible 640x480 4-bit color screen telling me my drivers are out of date and were made for a previous version of Windows (?!?!) (the default VGA driver was loaded) I am unable to get my display set up properly all settings are greyed out. I have a dual monitor setup with an ATI x1900 PCIe card and a ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe card. Neither of them work now. I had to restore my system via System Restore to a state 2 weeks earlier to get my Windows XP back.  
(Version 2.1)

BLUESTAR  Works fine on Leo 10.5.2.  
(Version 2.0.0.14)

BLUESTAR  Works without a hitch so far...  
(Version 3.1.1)

BLUESTAR  Seems pretty stable with all applications so far. They even fixed a sound notification issue with Entourage.  
(Version 12.0.1)

BLUESTAR  1st off: why isn't this update in the automatic update built into Office 2008? I just checked for updates this morning.

2nd. There is an annoying thing (amongst many) in Word and Excel: Application Preferences are not available unless I have a document open? - ridiculous.

I would like an option to NOT have a blank document open every time I start up Word or Excel. Why isn't this in the preferences? Very annoying.

Another annoying thing, connected to the comment above about a blank document opening when I start up Excel: if I switch to another app while I wait for the looooong startup of Excel it will pop the window of it's blank document in front of whatever I'm using (another application) - two VERY annoying things. Computers and software were supposed to do what I ask them to do not have a mind of their own and force the user to accept whatever it is programmed to do.   
(Version 12.0.1)

BLUESTAR  Because Adobe is in bed with storage device makers ! They make applications now close to 1GB big, I mean that's insane! Just so you eat up hard drive space and soon you will run out of space and go out and buy a bigger hard drive to store useless application data such as 12 other language packs that come with the app that you will NEVER use.  
(Version 13.0.3)

BLUESTAR  I've been using this great little app for a number of years now and find it indispensable for cataloging my backup disks. Used to be CDs and now DVDs. Also catalog my off-line hard drives with it that I use for backup such as Firewire drives. Very stable program as well. Highly recommended.

-- Note to PHALARON (another reviewer below) It takes a only few second to launch this app to scan disks. You let me know if you come across a computer that I don't have to start up to do my computing please.  
(Version 2.4b7)

BLUESTAR  I can second that. Now it works - doesn't screw up Safari. Thanks dude!  
(Version 0.3.2)

BLUESTAR  What does it take?... This latest beta version still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Try it: open doc, resize window to a larger window than doc boundaries, save, quit. Open again, the doc window will default back to just the doc boundaries. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys why is this so hard to fix?!   
(Version 5.0 beta 6)

BLUESTAR  Again! This beta version still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Try it: open doc, resize window to a larger window than doc boundaries, save, quit. Open again, the doc window will default back to just the doc boundaries. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys!  
(Version 5.0 beta 5)

BLUESTAR  Numbers don't appear on the tape as I type and perform calculations. Seems to work in Tiger (10.4.11) but NOT on Leopard (10.5.1). I'm running a Mac Pro Quad Core 3 Ghz with 7 GB of RAM and Leopard (10.5.1)

Also, the developer support form on the website doesn't work when submitting a support email with Firefox (so what do we expect from this developer then as far as a software?...):

Internal Server Error

Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora) Server at www.rubensoft.com Port 80  
(Version 7.0)

BLUESTAR  The Protection Setup doesn't work for me on Leopard 10.5.1 -- Nothing happens when I try to copy the directory from one hard drive to another for "Protection" -- I'm amazed at a small utility DVD taking up 1.9 GB of a DVD. What for? What on earth is on this disc? I'm sick and tired of all these developers robbing me of storage space. Why does a simple application take up 100-200 MB of space? That's ridiculous! On a side-note: Why can't a simple thing be done in this day and age where if I'm on an English-USA Mac, the application installed on this Mac should only contain "English.lproj" files within the package of the application and not 12 other foreign language versions which bloat it up to 200 MB? I think it's application developers laziness and we who already shell out money for the software pay additionally for it in eaten up drive space, bc we have to get bigger and bigger drives to hold their bloated applications!  
(Version 4.6.1)

BLUESTAR  It wouldn't even open on Leopard 10.5.1...  
(Version 5.0 beta 3)

BLUESTAR  Still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys!  
(Version 4.2.1 beta 2)

BLUESTAR  Still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys!  
(Version 4.2.1 beta 2)

BLUESTAR  This is truly a great app for a lot of things. But the new version (4.2) doesn't remember window positions for me as the regular 4.1.2 version does. Open document, set window position, save, close document, quit app. Upon reopen the doc window is slimmed down to the document boundaries, i.e. this new version does NOT remember teh window pos. Anybody else encounter this issue? Version 4.1.2 correctly remembers the window position set upon re-open.  
(Version 4.2)

BLUESTAR  Installed without a hickup. All apps work fine. I don't know what these other guys are doing who complain about having all these problems...  
(Version 11.3.6)

BLUESTAR  Running smooth and fast with heavy pages that struggle on other browsers, and no crashes - BUT only once I removed Speed Download and some other "menu manager" from the Input Managers folders (under ~Library/ and ~User/Library/.) Do a search on Input Managers and remove any suspect stuff and restart - then try Safari again.  
(Version 3.0b)

BLUESTAR  Great product, but the Beta doesn't remember window positions for me as the regular 4.1.2 version does. I talked to the support guys about this but I guess they haven't fixed it in this release. Also when I opened some files it gave me a bunch of "font errors" - but, I'm using FontAgent Pro and autoactivation - this, again works well in the regular 4.1.2 (non-beta) version of OmniGraffle Pro.  
(Version 4.2 beta 5)

BLUESTAR  Copying any text in WORD locks up computer for several seconds, the larger the text volume the longer the wait. Computer locks up with fans starting up loud to cool processor (G5 - MAC OSX 10.4.8) WHY? Incredibly annoying when trying to work on several pieces of text.   
(Version 11.3.5)

BLUESTAR  Works fine after update. All Apps. on OSX 10.4.8  
(Version 11.3.5)

BLUESTAR  There is still no option to NOT EJECT disk after erasing a re-writable disc. It has to be ejected after every erase and then put back in if you want to write to it. Idiotic.

There is no way to "open" a disc image with a simple standard "open" command from the menu either in "Data" mode or "Copy" mode. Only in "Copy" mode can one select a disc image from the "select" button. Idiotic.

Roxio people, invest some time in usability studies.  
(Version 8.0.1)

BLUESTAR  Same troubel here with "Running with Scissors" I think the studios have wised up to this and introduced a deliberate bug to prevent people from ripping their DVDs.  
(Version 2.6.6)

BLUESTAR  Great app with what must be the worst user interface design in history.  
(Version 2.1.1)

BLUESTAR  All these years Intuit has neglected the Mac market in a gigantic way and yet they expect us to shell out bucks for this miserable program. Minor, "window dressing" updates don't do anything. Even if it was given away as "shareware" I doubt anybody would use it...

There are too numerous major annoyances that go on with this program to list here. Calculations are wrong, the impossibility of certain financial operations, the fact that you can't change the font face or size in registers, or general appearance of windows, columns, etc. Overall a big zero to Intuit for delivering a miserable app to us Mac users.  
(Version R5)

BLUESTAR  I totally hate Stuffit Expander not remembering window positions. It insist on expanding stuff smack in the center of my monitor - meaning the progress window. I move it, but it comes back to my main display into the center. If I'm downloading something in the background and working on something / reading a webpage... it will pop-up right in the center of my screen annoying the hell out of me. Come on!!! In previous versions it remembered the window position. Allume is LAME!  
(Version 10.0.2)

BLUESTAR  No idea what you're talking about... I have not experienced these problems. As far as file typing issues in the Findar you can always fix any issues with the "Get Info" command and assign any app to your liking to open a particular file with a certain extension ALWAYS with that app.  
(Version 10.4.5)

BLUESTAR  Doesn't work with OS X 10.4.5  
(Version 2.3.6)

BLUESTAR  So far no glitches, all's smooth. See no diff in Dashboard. Some apps will need to be updated that mess with the OS appearance such as TransparentDock  
(Version 10.4.5)
