AKROBAT I don't wanna rain on the developer's parade but.... Why of why do developers of Mail Stationery insist on creating designs fit for babies and teenagers? I thought this pack might be different from the one made by Equinox, however the designs are just as garish and cheap as Equinox's Mail pack. Sorry, but there's not one of the templates that I would dare send anybody. I really could not justify inflicting that on any of my friends or clients. Hopefully someone may come out with an elegant, professional package... just for a change! (Version 1.0) | |

THE GRAPHIC MAC While I appreciate the efforts of the developer, and the fact that they released this pack for free, I have to agree that these (like most of the other ones out there) are truly lame. That being said, I'm sure there are plenty of people who find them really useful. (Version 1.0) | |

AKROBAT Still a good application. What I like about this launcher is it's simplicity... no folders or menus or hot keys, which a lot of similar apps suffer from. TigerLaunch is simply a list of apps and their icons. Easy to configure, launch and use. Have this on my eMac and just installed it on my MacBook running Leopard. Works flawlessly. Well done!

Sync2It's BookmarkSync | Aug 12 2008 |
AKROBAT Quite an old application, but I've been looking for a bookmark sync and so I gave it a go. Even though it states PPC it works fine on an Intel. You sign up either via a browser or through the app itself and it indeed syncs your bookmarks. Unfortunately if you have many bookmark folders like I do it takes them out of the bookmark menu and puts them into the collection drawer - this means your bookmarks are no longer accessible in the menubar and you have to open the side drawer to see them and then navigate to open what you need. After the first sync I moved them all back but it does this on every sync. Bit of shame really 'cause it renders it somewhat useless. In addition it changes the order of all the bookmarks.

Phanfare Photo | Aug 8 2008 |
AKROBAT I'm really quite impressed with this. Was looking for a good alternative to MobileMe iPhoto sharing and this is as good as it gets. Simple to use application that is free and integrates seamlessly with your online account. What I like about Phanfare is that it's one of the few decent looking photo sharing sites that doesn't have ads plastered all over the place. A nice selection of themes also. Importing photos from iPhoto is a breeze and there's even an iPhone app which does the same thing and uploads photos from the phone. All in all a good application. (Version 1.3.6) | |

A few suggestions I'll mail to the Developer such as: Items created in iCal should be automatically/manually synced with this app. The developer also created a version for the iPhone and syncing capabilities are on the way!

MacDust | Aug 2 2008 |
AKROBAT Well, it's been a while since I last reviewed this. It's first incarnation was somewhat dangerous to use... so I'm glad to see it no longer trashes the System Receipts and mess up your Mac. On opening the app you're presented with a number of tabs from which you can choose your cleaning options. SYSTEM - Ok. But this basic cleaning can all be done by Onyx or Ice Clean or Main Menu. BROWSER- Ditto. Can be done by free apps. However there is a choice of browsers which is handy. CHATS - Again, these are just logs. Nothing special there. Easily cleaned by free alternatives. TORRENT - Can either be cleaned by a free app or you simply remove the Torrents yourself with a few clicks. More window dressing than anything else. OTHER - Just a bunch of caches... again easy to re move with any free application. MacDust is not a 'specialised cleaning' app. It simply cleans out caches, log files and temporary files. What it does is divide the cleaning between certain applications you may or may not have on your system... this is the 'specialised' part. I'll be honest: it's not a bad application, but far too limited to ask for money especially since the likes of Onyx, IceClean and Main Menu (to name a few) do the same job and much more, such as removing .DS files, updating prebindings etc, etc. Still, for people who don't have much Mac knowledge it probably ideal.

PERSON1229 MacDust never deleted System Receipts, it deleted your local ones - which are in fact safe to remove, but this feature was removed due to confusion. There aren't any other free apps that clean out your torrents, MacDust doesn't delete the content you downloaded via torrent, it deletes the .torrent that many torrent applications such as Azureus keep unnecessary copies around. Very few of the Other category can be done by any other application. Many people feel more secure with Shareware than Freeware because Shareware is a product, it is much more heavily tested and solid than freeware. Not everything in life is free, so just get over it. Just because you _think_ there are free alternatives doesn't mean there are. MacDust is on top of the other system cleaning apps, for price and useful features. (Version 2.73) | |

AKROBAT Well this is a very good application. I've just tested the Demo version. Minus points for a few things such as calendars not being transfered at all, spinning wheel of death a lot and the sync can take a long time. However it's well laid out, extensive and is 20x more useful than BluePhoneElite, which I incidentally have. Had I not been planning to purchase an iPhone this month then I would have bought this app to go along with my next phone. However iPhone it is and similar syncs are done via iTunes. I'd recommend it. (Version 2.1.1) | |

It only states 'connecting to the remote computer'. Press 'ok' and it states 'logging in' and then 'copy completed'. Of course nothing is copied and there's no progress window.

"eCheck is not compatible with Leopard: Development Discontinued Sunday, 23rd Mar, 2008 at 4:59 am eCheck is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), and as a result the development of this widget has been discontinued." I'll continue to use it on my PPC. (Version 1.04) | |

AKROBAT Works well on Tiger or Leopard. Upgrades automatically to Amigo 1.0.5 (the updated version of this app) which has a smaller logo and thus takes up less space in the menu bar. You can upgrade again to version 1.2.0 but then it asks for $20 for a search bar and hot-key access. I'd advise to stay with version 1.0.5. All in all a good app. (Version 1.0.3) | |

AKROBAT Indeed Macs with Leopard installed only display intermitently... sometimes they do, other times not. This means you have to use the app from the Leopard machine only. Also whenever adding a folder, the app states that it's going to shut down to 'reload the modules'. However it only hangs and you have to shut it down yourself. (Version 1.5.5) | |

AKROBAT The update is a little better. It now works fine on Tiger AND Leopard. I agree with the post below as to the slowness of scrolling in the main window. I still think the icons are overly huge and it would be nice to be able to configure/delete the application icons you dont use, instead of having to scroll (slowly) down to the one you want. Smaller things like a GOOD translation would help. Still, that said I still use it and find it satisfactory. For simple syncs it's worth using. (Version 1.5.5) | |

SOHO Notes | Apr 4 2008 |
AKROBAT I'm gonna have to swap to Yojimbo. Why? Well the database has changed in such a way that any SOHO product from v.7 upwards no longer reads or works with the database of lower versions. I didn't realise this after upgrading to 7 on my Intel-based MacBook running Leopard. My other machine is a PPC eMac running Tiger, which incidentally cannot run v.7 One of the main reasons I liked this suite of apps was for the network feature and the server-based database... Well now that's gone... 1. Upgrade my eMac to Leopard (can't 'cause my eMac is not powerful enough) 2. Downgrade v.7 to v.6 on my MacBook (database still wont work as it's ireparably changed by v.7) 3. Buy a new Mac and install Leopard (yeah, right) 4. Keep the SOHO suite and make all changes manually every time. 5. Try another application... (which I did) I still think it's a really good suite SOHO Organiser, it's just a pity they behave in weird ways. So I'll give Yojimbo & Contactizer Pro a spin. (Version 7.0) | |

SOHO Notes | Apr 10 2008 |
I did install Leopard months back but to be honest the 1GB RAM, G4 700Mhz eMac was still too slow. Also iDvD was broken beyond repair regardless of re-installations. The real pain was my old but trusted HP printer simply didn't work under Leopard, despite installing all the drivers (a well known problem according to internet forums). So I reinstalled Tiger on my eMac & kept Leopard on the MacBook and all's good. (Version 7.0.1) | |

MUDFLAPPER Ah. At least you got your eMac working. As far as the printer drivers go, shouldn't it just be plug and play? I thought Leopard should have all the necessary drivers built in?

SOHO Organizer | Apr 1 2008 |
AKROBAT SOHO Organiser 7.0 has a number of improvements that I really like. However I have Tiger on one machine and Leopard on another plus SOHO Organiser on both... Both machines ran version 6.5.4 and I used to be able to network across my macs - info entered into one machine would show up on the other etc. "Great", I thought. Enter SOHO 7.0 which, incidentally only runs on Leopard. If you upgrade from SOHO 6.5.4 and use SOHO 7.0 to open your old database then the DB will be irreparably changed. The result? The DB is rendered useless for anything under version 7 and can no longer be used by SOHO 6.5.4 or older. This is a sneaky way of forcing everyone who uses the network feature and uses Leopard to update to SOHO 7.0 - as you'll HAVE to upgrade ALL your machines. At the same time screwing everyone else over who happens to have the a set-up like my own. (ie. older machines and/or different OS's on different machines). However, as we all know this is common software company behaviour. So now I can no longer network as I used to, 'cause SOHO 7.0 wont talk to SOHO 6.5.4. 1. Downgrade to 6.5.4 and hope my backed-up DB still works. 2. Buy a new Mac that can run Leopard and install SOHO 7.0. 3. Use another application. I'll downgrade. No big deal for me. Chronos should take care 'cause they alienate their customers and judging by the posts a good percentage of their once loyal customers go for the 3rd choice. (Version 7.0) | |

It seems to be made for people who use iCal and AddressBook. If you use any other of the PIM out there then this app is pretty much useless. I agree with Dana on the post below. It's a pretty front end to 2 existing apps... however it's not enough to make it usefull. I'm not quite sure who this software is targeted to...

Contactizer Pro | Feb 2 2008 |
AKROBAT After my review last year I had another go at this app. I actually use both Contactizer and SOHO. I use SOHO for the calendar function, the notes feature and it's easy networking accross computers. I use Contactizer for it's address book function, GTD feature and profect managment. That being said Contactizer is actually a very good app indeed, well laid out, easy to use, stable, intuitive. Great GTD manager etc. It's just a shame you can only sync via .Mac. If you have no .Mac account you're screwed. I don't know why they insist on doing that. I'll give it 4 stars because it deserves it. Like SOHO it gets most things perfect and falls short of a couple of important ones. SOHO's shortcomings are a decent GTD and Contacts manager plus it's incessant crashing. Contactizer needs to use the OpenBase DB system and could use a notebook system built in. All in all it's pretty good. (Version 3.5.7) | |

The preview window is always the same: "can't find entry for..." I've uninstalled, re-installed and uninstalled again. I've used AppZapper and gone through the entire set of Libraries to remove any references in the Input Manager folders etc. Restarted yet still the damn windown appears. Emptying the cache and resetting Safari doesn't work either. Reinstalling Safari is not an option since there is no stand alone installer. Pile of crap! (Version 1.3b) | |

launch2net | Jan 30 2008 |
AKROBAT Can't say I'm impressed. First it took multiple times before the app recognised my Huawei 220 USB modem. Kept stating that no device was found, which made no sense since Launch2Net actually launched every time I connected the modem. Eventually it worked. Indeed it is fully automatic, though whether it has those settings or simply took them from my network settings I'll never know. 2 points: firstly the menubar item does not appear, even though I ticked the option, restarted, cleared other items from my menubar etc. This was a big 'no' for me. Furthermore the uninstall option I used twice simply leaves all the files intact. I had to remove them with AppZapper. For now I'll stick with Cheetah Watch which works, is free and does what is says. Will keep an eye on this though... perhaps in a year or so it will mature. (Version 1.6.27) | |

it would have been nice to contact the support first to solve the issues you raised here. With some SIM cards, the modem you use takes longer to log into the network, so your modem might not be recognized immediately. All you need to do is to disable the automatic launch and wait till the modem has found the network, then run launch2net. For the menu icon and uninstaller: This might be a disk permision conflict. Since it runs on thousands of computers I bet you could solve this on yours. Just detach the modem, start your Mac from the System CD/DVD and run disk utility, then choose "Repair permissions". Then install launch2net again, wait till the Mac has restarted, attach the modem and when it has a signal, run launch2net. ;-) Jan Fuellemann (nova media) (Version 1.6.27) | |

AKROBAT I've tried this application and it works for a while. The problem I find is after some time the movie is rendered useless. Quicktime gives an error message saying that certain information can't be found and that the movie is unplayable.... which is a pain of course if you've deleted the original!

MACUPDATE ADMIN You should report your issues to the developer via the developer's website. (Version 1.3.3) | |

AddMovie | Nov 24 2007 |
JPPAGLIARO Yes, you should certainly report your problems to me, the developer. That's because in this case there is a simple solution to your problem, and the two star rating is undeserved. Moreover, I am highly responsive to emails from users. Let me explain: QuickTime movies can be created as "reference" movies or "self contained" movies. A reference movie does not store the data of all the joined movies in the resultant movie. You typically create reference movies because they save space. A self contained movie, on the other hand does store all the movie data of each movie inside the generated movie. This will of course result in a larger movie file, but it will be independent of the files that were used to create it, i.e. if you delete them the joined movie still plays. By default AddMovie creates reference movies to save space. But you can change that easily. Just open the Preferences window, by selecting "Preferences..." in the AddMovie menu and select the option to create a self contained movie. That should solve your problem. I hope you consider retracting your rating should you find that this is the solution to your problem, as you most likely will. (Version 1.3.3) | |

AddMovie | Dec 26 2007 |
SERGIUS My personal opinion is that having "reference" movies as the default saved type is a mistake from two points of view. First it make no sense because joining multiple movies into one is generally done so as to be rid of the bother and clutter of separate movies, so one usually deletes the separate movies immediately after confirming that the new movie works. Secondly, it serves as a trap to newcomers who aren't aware of the distinction between the two types. For someone trying out your software, it certainly doesn't make a favorable impression to lose some video files because of this default behavior. Having been through this experience with QuickTime, I haven't yet figured out why I would ever want the option to make a "reference" movie. What would be the advantage? (Version 1.3.8) | |

AddMovie | Dec 26 2007 |
I appreciate you sharing your opinion on reference movies. The interesting thing is that the feature was added, in the form it is, in response to user feedback. It's truly hard to decide on such issues without adequate user testing and then basing the decision on statistical evidence. This type of testing, unfortuantely, is presently beyond the scope of my abilities and I have to rely on user feedback such as yours. In this case I agree with you that a self contained movie (or "flattened" movie) may be more appropriate in most curcumstances and I will consider changing the default in the next version. I hope you consider removing your uniform 2 star rating of the product. Thanks. | |

AddMovie | Dec 26 2007 |
Sorry, I guess you were not the one who gave the 2 start rating. But hoepfully that person sees the request. By the way, the primary purpose of a reference movie is to save space because a copy of the movie data is not stored in the combined movie. This can be quite relevent when the components are very large. The secodary purpose is that a reference movie is created much more quickly and can be used to test the resultant movie. I realize the problem this creates, however, and I have on occasion created such movies only to find them broken at some future time because I deleted the originals :-) The best things I suppose would be to write a short "Getting Started" guide. But, it has also been my experience, based on other software I have authored, that that doesn't always work either. But I'll try it when I get a chance to update the product again. | |

DOM21 "QuickTime movies can be created as "reference" movies or "self contained" movies." Unless I'm missing the point, all one has to do is make an 'alias' of the finished, self-contained QT movie and, "presto!"--you've got your "reference" movie. (Version 1.4.7) | |

AKROBAT Well, that's the end of that! Since my review a year ago the software did improve a little. However due to changes made by Google (I believe) it can no longer do it's job. When opening the app it constantly asks if you wish default labels added to your disk...(even if you already have them). Click "Yes" and it crashes. Click "No" and the dialog box stays there permanently... meaning you have to force quit. That was on Tiger. I've upgraded to 10.5 and it's just the same on Leopard. Shame really, this app had so much potential and promise - just read the posts - but is now just a dead Dodo. Perhaps someone will reanimate it or create a new GUI that actually works this time. What to do in the meantime......? Well, OmniDrive has a Mac client that works and gives you a 1GB account free. Also I've moved over to JungleDisk - not free but very cheap. Both apps show the disk in your finder so it's pretty convenient. (Version 0.6.1) | |

SWF & FLV Player | Nov 10 2007 |
AKROBAT This application was my regular player for all .swf & .flv files. However it is broken in OS 10.5 Leopard. Haven't been able to get it to work since I upgraded. Doesn't play and has to be force quitted every time. I searched for any other player and came across flvThing here on MacUpdate. Fantistic, I was surprised. It's small, uncluttered (no mini viewers and playlist windows all over the screen) and even though it's over a year old actually works on Leopard no problem. Oh yeah, and it's free unlike this broken one that I had to pay for! (Version 3.5.12.5930) | |

Where those mails are only God knows 'cause they never reached their destination even though they are in the sent folder. I sent some more to myself using my trusted ISP mail server and lo and behold they arrived. Go figure... (Version 1.6.1) | |

SOHO Organizer | Nov 7 2007 |
AKROBAT I used to use Palm Desktop... till they stopped updating and caring! I'm currently trialing this software and have to agree with the post below. It's a very good application. It beats iCal hands down and has far more professional features. Simple to use, good integration. I'm using Leopard and Mail's new To Do List feature integrates perfectly with Soho Organzier. I've tried Daylite and must say it is more feature-laden, however this works fine for those who don't need so many bells and whistles. Min points are: takes a while to go offline when using the network feature. Also crashes every now and then - not sure why. The Soho Notes feature is really good. Partly because it's unobtrusive (has a tap at the side of the screen). I used to use SideNote but this is far better since it is highly customizable and the Network Feature means I have the same content on my laptop and desktop. Also the clipboard feature means that I no longer needed to use CuteClips. The Print Essentials app that's bundled with this software is ok, though I'd prefer that they bundled a GTD/Project Planner instead such as in Daylite. At the moment I use iGTD which is decent but lacks the LAN network feature (you have to use .Mac). All in all a good app at a good price... Good work guys - now all we need is a GTD/Project Planner!

AKROBAT So, the developer informed me about the Intel bug, fixed it and I've given it another go. Seems fine. Perhaps it is more efficient than SMART Reporter but that is something that has to be tested on a failing drive with both systems up and running. I'd buy this IF it was made into a menubar item. Otherwise I know I'll forget to launch it and I've already far too many windows open and startup items already. All in all not a bad item, so I'll review my 'review'. (Version 1.0.3) | |

AKROBAT I found it a fairly usefull piece of software. Haven't had any of the issues I've been reading about below... for me it works fine. However since I've WindowShade installed for a long time it sort of makes Sticky Windows redundant. I only seem to realise Sticky Windows is there if I accidentally drag something to the side. As for the pref pane... well, it's different if somewhat creative. Again I had no problems navigating around. I'm not sure what all the whining is about from the other posts - complaining ninnies!

It continually tries to sync automatically and continually gives error messages asking if it should DELETE or RE-GET certain files. Errm, sorry I don't want you to delete anything... so I click RE-GET. And again it syncs and again gives the same message...and again...and again... ad infinitum. I forced quited the app and deleted it. Think I'll stick to File Synchronization - costs $15 but it simply works! (Version 1.0b7) | |

AKROBAT This is a useful app. Unfortunately for this developer the new Mac OSX - Leopard has this functionality built in amongst a whole host of other wonderful stuff...and the OS costs $129 while this app alone costs $49. However that said I've been using it now for a few weekss and am quite happy with it. One problem I've come across: I've put TrashMagic in my startup items. I've a MacBook that logs out automatically after an hour of inactivity. When I log back in I always get an error message from TrashMagic telling me it couldn't start. A bit annoying really.

These were created with a combo of Applescripts and shell scripts and each only contains maybe ten lines of code, so the speed probably depends more on the system and your "Finder".

Daylite | Jul 17 2007 |
AKROBAT Till now this is in my opinion the best PIM out there. I used to use Palm Desktop, but the lack of updates for 2 years led me to look further. The mail integration, Task/Project management and automatic syncing when in a network is a real winner for me. Everything is in one window and I don't need to use a seperate IGTD program which means the integration is not an issue. PLUS the fact that I can make changes on my laptop, come home plug in the ethernet cable and have those changes immediately reflected on my eMac is probably for me the biggest 'feature'. Falls short on simple things like copying an appointment or event and being able to drag it to wherever you want (such as in Palm Desktop). Why they refuse to implement week numbers I don't know. In Contactizer (a gloryfied but potentially good PIM) there's a Day Preview window that you can toggle when in the Month View... really handy to quickly check what's going on in a particular day. Hopefully this app will get better, but for now I'm satisfied. (Version 3.2.3) | |

Contactizer Pro | Jul 17 2007 |
AKROBAT Basically a gloryfied iCal... however it is well done. I use Daylite as I find it till now the best, but this application would be my second choice over the rest of the PIMS. Some nice features that Daylite could learn from such as week numbers and the floating day view preview when in the month view. I would like to see auto sync if you have the same app on different machines such as in Daylite, so that joining your network automatically keeps both machines in sync. Some more user defined choices in the UI (customize toolbar etc) would be nice. I'll keep an eye on this for the next year or so. (Version 3.1.4) | |

AKROBAT The following is from the Apple.com website: Can I get rid of receipts in the /Library/Receipts folder? If you remove receipts from /Library/Receipts, the Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4: Disk Utility shows a "No Valid Packages" alert Disk Utility can't verify or repair permissions on the Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4 volume if the "BaseSystem.pkg" file is not in /Library/Receipts. This alert appears when you try to repair permissions with Disk Utility: "Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions on '(volume name)' because the following error was encountered: No valid packages" In the Disk Utility text window, this message appears in red text: "Error: No valid packages (-9997)" This happens when the BaseSystem.pkg file is not in /Library/Receipts. If you've moved this file, move it back to /Library/Receipts. You shouldn't normally remove any files from /Library/Receipts. If the file has been deleted, replace it by copying it from a different computer that uses Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4, or by reinstalling Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 from an installation disc. "Reinstall" means you can install 10.3 or 10.4 from a disc, if it's the same version of 10.3/10.4 (such as 10.3.3 on both the installation disc and computer). If the version of 10.3/10.4 on the computer is newer than what's on the install disc, then use the install disc to perform an Archive and Install installation instead, then update to a later version of Mac OS X. ------------------------------------------ In short: NEVER DELETE THE PERMISSIONS. Your Mac System uses them. I suggest the developer first learn about basic Mac OS before he attempts to make applications such as this. (Version 0.6) | |

Cha-Ching | Apr 22 2007 |
AKROBAT A very easy to use and straightforward financial planning app. If you're looking for a bunch of features (VAT, asset management, profit & loss and all that jazz) then I'd suggest you use one of the heavyweight apps of which there are plenty, because this is not for you. If on the other hand you want to keep it simple, create budgets, accounts and an integreated online banking browser then this may just be what you're looking for. I have an irregular income from various sources and need to plan what's coming in and going out over the course of a year. Using Cha-Ching I can see which months I'm short and which months I've an excess, what's pending, what's been paid and what i owe and can make customised budgets. It's much easier for me than using a spreadsheet and means I can finally switch from Conto (a glorified spreadsheet) which I've used for many years. For those who are moaning about the lack of 'serious financial app features', then this is simply not for you. Most people want a well-made, simple and effective financial application. This offers us that and places itself neatly between the heavyweight apps and the simper shareware alternatives. $40 I think is too much to ask. However as long as the Cha-Ching developers don't get too carried away then this app should have a good future. (Version 1.0) | |

AKROBAT This looks like a promising application. I've downloaded it twice and tried to make sense of it but the complete lack of any user manual means it will remain unused.

It comes with a sample record but with only a very basic text file telling you how to add, delete records etc. Until the developers actually come up with a proper help file and/or user manual I'll have to give it a not-so-great rating.
