JRWHO  I like the new version, but I don't like the new icon. It's still not 512x512 and the blue looked a lot better.

JRWHO  I love iChat, I couldn't live without it. I would like to see a better way to export logs (so I could give them to PC users too) though. For the most part it's pretty stable and it has a gorgeous interface!

JRWHO  Definitely the best uninstaller out there for Mac. I've used several, and this one beats them all. Could still use a couple more features, but I love SmartDelete.

JRWHO  Tried looking on the web for the dev's contact info, couldn't find it. So I went on to the forums to try to contact him, and the forum never sent me a conformation email. Seems hard to contact the dev so I thought I'd try to get his attention from MU. I have a couple of requests for the app…

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Because they're lazy and don't care. I mean... look at this version of AIM for Mac... it's a joke as you've noticed. I agree with you though... AOL should work with Apple to make iChat better... at least in regards to the AIM portion of iChat. I can barely connect a third of the time with video chat to other friends using AIM. It's always flawless when it's iChat to iChat. Meh...

JRWHO  Well, I've been using this for a while, and I'd definitely recommend it (as there's no other app like it). One problem though, is that it's lost it's snappy feeling. I don't know if this is because the more days and stuff you add the slower it'll go, but it is quite annoying.

JRWHO  Terrible Mac interface, it feels like I'm using a PC app when it's on. I contacted support about it, and they actually said (in their own words, which surprised me): "I don't care whether it looks 'Mac-like'."

I used to run this daily, but I'm still not used to the interface, and until the people that make it start caring about the app, and especially the Mac users, I won't be using it.

JRWHO  I just tried out the version 2 alpha, and I must say that I am really disappointed. I heard a ton of hype about this app to see that it's not very easy to use and has a clumsy, non-OS X like interface.

I'd take Mail's Notes and To Dos over this any day.

MACBLISS  The interface may seem a little busy at first, but it grows on you after playing around with it a bit.

Once you understand how it is designed to work -- you see how indeed very smart it is.

With version 2 you get a built in outliner/project manager and note/link manager. It's the most comprehensive and most ambitious application out there in the genre, and it's free, which is something amazing in and of itself.

With the built in contact linking system,

It can also be used as a light weight CRM too.

It seems quite usable in the latest alpha.

I am looking forward to its continued evolvement. Also note it's going to have a new name which is on the horizon, according to requests on the forum for user feedback.

VERYCARLA  Well it's an application to help you keep track of your media. It's not the best, but it's the one which gets the most attention. It's 67% style and 33% substance. If all you want is a basic list of what you've got, TextEdit will work a lot better than this, but it won't look as COOL.

JRWHO  I've been having a problem with Safari ever since 3 came out. I seem to have to log in to websites all the time, regardless of having the "auto login" box checked. I've reset Safari (with everything checked) and I'm still having this issue.

Is anyone having this problem or knows how to fix it?

JRWHO  I use this widget a lot, but there’s one huge problem. It doesn’t back-up the timers. I’ve had times when my computers crashed, and it deleted all of my timers.

The most recent deletion happened randomly, and it only deleted 75% of my timers.

The only other problem I’m having, is that it doesn’t run very smooth.

Azureus consistently takes up around 40-50% CPU on my iMac G5. Sadly I am forced to use it because my current ISP throttles Bit Torrent traffic. I wish Transmission and Xtorrent supported encryption. :(

JAGGED EDGES  Apologies to all for the lack of recent updates (4 years being my definition of "recent"). I'm a student in high school and my workload is very large. Supporting a free program is difficult enough when you're not applying to college, too.

However, I am tinkering with this project again and I thank everyone for their encouraging comments. If it is rereleased, it will be an entirely new program with the same features but modernized. I'm excited about this but again can't promise anything definite, or within any specific timeframe.

I'm glad to be a part of the exciting Mac developer world and to have been a leader, for a time, in the area of free screenshot programs, and I owe all the credit to my users. So thanks!

It does have a great UI though.

If you’re looking for a better one, go with CleanApp.
