Postbox	Aug 28 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT The only ones who will tolerate this half Mac half Win user experience are FF users! Safari and Apple Mail fans can easily save 20 bucks on the introductory price and continue as before. Did I mention is is ugly, very non-mac and also buggy. At least fix the first time import function, give it som polish with help screens and so on. First it says Apple Mail mailboxes are imported but they are nowhere to be found. Import again and then no mail in the various boxes and clock (the old one from Classic Mac OS) spins forever. I had a hunch it would be unpleasant before downloading since I dont like FireFox. Get a Linux version out would make sense but in my opinion Post Box Inc won't make much money out of the Mac market. I will newer try this pice of half breed again (Version 1.0b15)		-2

RipIt	Aug 25 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT Contact support and/or write just a comment! Giving one star rating due to a faulty installation is just not right. (Version 1.2.12)		0

BarbaBatch	Jun 22 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT Who in their right mind will pay 400 bux for this pathetic looking app when they probably can get a whole night with Barbara Bach for roughly the same amount! (Version 4.0.55)		0

Memoires	Jan 19 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT 18 USD for an upgrade, c'mon! And 30 for a new licence. Seems pretty high for this kind of simple app. A tenner for upgrade and 18 for for the full monty would be more appropriate. (Version 2.0.44)		+3

ForkLift	Jan 19 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT This is a beautiful little app! Many good features and I prefer it over the bloated Path Finder. (Version 1.6)		+2

Curator	Jan 19 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT I can't get it ro recognize some songs in iTunes already got artwork? Seems a bit flaky to me. (Version 1.1.4)		0

iWallet	Jan 15 2009	KEN BURNS EFFECT This app is so bug ridden and useless it should still be in beta! How can anyone in their right mind charge for such crap? How can it be 4.x, to lure someone it is being developed over long time and mature? I can't even get basic tings like adding a group or item amount to work properly. When quitting it does not ask you to save, let alone doing any auto save. Utterly useless, save your money and time, it's not worth the download or effort to put in the trash. (Version 4.2)		0

SpeedTools ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver	Dec 18 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT Why not use Overdrive instead! It's free:-) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29409/overdrive (Version 3.0)		0

LoginControl	Dec 6 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT 10 dollars (raised from 5) is just too much for this featureless app! Sure it does make it a bit easier managing login items but is lacking editing of List names, drag n drop between lists etc. It should still be in 1.x stadium and/or still 5 $. In fact, for such a simple app free would be more appropriate. As for the competition, a much more feature rich app is indeed available for free. It handles Login Items somewhat different but perhaps in a more easily understood manner. And much more. The inevitable conclusion, save a tenner - Use TinkerTool. (Version 2.0)		+2

LCD Scrub	Nov 24 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT This Screensaver app is really great! Works just as advertised. I have a Cinema Display 20 with severe ghost images, two "clouds" and in the menu bar. After running LCD Scrub for many days, shorter or sometimes longer periods each day the ghosting has gotten better, sometimes it is almost gone. While ghosting comes back so does the scrubbing:-) I let it run as often as there is a work pause, always during daily (nightly) backups and often an hour after backup completed. I will now install the 1.1 version and see if the new patterns are even more effective for my screen. The only culprit in this drama is Apple and their occasional lack of quality. When I get a new (non-Apple) screen I'll probably continue to run LCD Scrub to spare the pixels. Review for version 1.0.2 (Version 1.1)		0

FileChute	Jul 23 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT Does what's advertised! But gee how ugly. Interface looks like a 1.x app of the Jaguar days. Can't believe it's on the third major revision. I hope someone else will write a more modern uploader or Yellowmug get their act together. (Not much hope for YM tough since most, if not all their offerings lack the famous Mac look and feel) (Version 3.0.6)		+1

SCOTT KOUE This is a utility not a fashion accessory! I wouldn't call it ugly and it certainly does look Mac (have you been on a PC lately, looks like they haven't changed the look since Win 3.0). It is not cluttered with cryptic buttons or a lot of eye candy but that is what I want in a utility. The bottom line is does it work. The answer is YES and very well. I will take substance over style any day of the week, however I didn't feel I made a compromise in style.

iTunes Music Store Player	Mar 11 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT As I said it works fine in Leopard and iTMS! It also does a good job if you want to hear samples in ordinary playlists. (Version 0.1)		0

iTunes Music Store Player	Mar 11 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT Works with 10.5 Leopard! And Tiger of course. Perfect for listening to album samples, no need to manually select tunes. Maybe it did crash once or twice in the past, I don't remember, also displays an error message if iTunes quit while ITMSP is running. Minor problems in a very handy app. (Version 0.1)		0

DejaMenu	Jan 7 2008	KEN BURNS EFFECT Use USB Overdrive instead of Logitechs useless driver! It works for free, but is well worth the fee of USD 10. Anyway, assign a command key sequence to any mouse key of your choice and your set to go. Regards/JS With one MX510 and one MX518 still in box. (Version 1.2.2)		0
