Stox	Jul 9 2008	A.DEMAID Of this type of program (not all-singing & -dancing) this is the only one that has worked well and consistently for me - I am based in Europe. I had an early problem with the software not accepting the .L for the FTSE exchange but that has not recurred. The choice of different data sources solves a lot of the problems that smaller company stocks can pose for US-centric programs. Obviously there are features that one would like to see added, but this is not software for professional traders and it is competing with browser based services. apad (Version 1.2)		+1

ANDREAS WEISS Software does not hold what it promises. It uses the yahoo servers to update the share prices. This functionality is pretty much useless as it does not work properly (I tried it for European stocks) and the price comes not through).

The functionality looks great but this bug makes the program useless. Esp. when you want to use such a program a longer time (used MS Money since 1995) such bugs need to be fixed short term ... this does not happen here.

Emails to the customer support were unresponded.

For me a lesson that I will always try programs before buying it.

Can't recommend Stox 1.2 !!!

Cheers,

Andreas

iBank	Mar 1 2008	A.DEMAID Performance on European share graphs is extraordinary whatever the data supplier chosen. Can start with a year's data, revert to a month's, end up showing no data (the usual default). Performance on US shares is fine. Tried deleting prefs. all the usual. Feature is essentially useless.

MailServe	Dec 17 2007	A.DEMAID Excellent software and the author answers technical queries. Moved from Postfix Enabler in Sept. after asking "should I wait until there was a Leopard version". No answer so bought it anyway. Upgraded to Leopard in Nov. Tiger version doesn't work and there is no upgrade for recent purchasers. Hence value rating. apad (Version 3.0.3)		0

Heredis	Jan 15 2007	A.DEMAID I have been satisfied with Heredis for years. Recently I decided to upgrade, but Digibuy does not recognise my input code (although they have my receipt details) and want to charge me VAT, although I live in a non-VAT area of Europe. Their replies are useless. apad (Version 10.2.3)		0

Postfix Enabler	Jan 6 2004	APAD This software solves a major problem for people using work email systems from outside a firewall (we can get mail but not send mail). I have sent money (albeit not by paypal:-(). I have had a delay problem once (but not to a Windows NT system). All other communications to the same system have been quick. I seem to be able to send mail when not connected to the Web, which is something of a puzzle. Needless to say it is not received! I have been rejected by one system that does not accept dynamic ip addresses. The more of this sort of stuff the merrier I say. (Version 1.0.7)		0
