ALUAKZ  simply amazing! neat, simple, and useful... i used to be on sogudi ages ago, but after getting a new macbook, i couldn't manage to get it installed on leopard. i've tried inquisitor, which was nice but too cluttered. it doesn't do search from the address bar, but in the search bar. i could never get safarisia installed. but this little pluglin in a beauty! finally i can go back to searching through address bar without getting my hands off the keyboard. thank you!

ALUAKZ  Very very useful!!! Easy to use, quite flexible, and great results... I'm missing one feature though... it would be great it you could write vertically too, i.e. so that you're abe to write not only on the top and bottom border/edges of the image, but also on the left and write edges

ALUAKZ  Please please please make Sogudi compatible with Safari 3! I got a new mac with Leopard, and Safari 3 seems so useless without Sogudi...

ALUAKZ  I'm slightly too young for these things, but I like the app anyway. The only onvious disadvantage I can point out is the amount of CPU it eats, 50-60%! I think it is way too much for a little app, and it slows my iBook down. It would be great if that could be dealt with. Thanks

ALUAKZ  It happens when I click "Language-Packs" and select the whole Applications folder (108 apps). When I did the same thing about 3 months ago it did not happen and everything worked fine.

iPodRip
May 23 2006
***..

ALUAKZ  Well... at the beginning it looked fine. However, when compared the songs that I hace on my iPod with the songs displayed in iPodRip, the list was uncomplete. iPodRip just ate about 5% of the songs, and even after I restarted the program and reconnected my iPod it was the same thing. So... the program is very very average and there are much better alternatives - Pod2Go (also shareware) and iPodDisk (freeware), for example.

iPodRip
May 23 2006

TLAF_MAT  ALUAKZ, we would love to hear from you regarding the incomplete importing of songs. There is a feedback form on our website which you can use here:

http://www.thelittleappfactory.com/feedback

iPodRip doesn't however "eat" or delete any songs as they are still on your iPod so this is just a matter of iPodRip not reading your database correctly.

Pod2Go doesn't do what iPodRip does, it's more of an aggregator of topics for your iPod.

And it took a lot to get the iTunes icon to stick.

ALUAKZ  Hmmm... I don't really understand the point of the program. Also... right after you drop the picture it closes. Why? What if I want to try several pictures? Do I have to open the program again and again? (Nice icon though)

iVisualize
May 20 2006
*½...

ALUAKZ  Well. At first it seemed like a nice program. However, when I started using it I was disappointed because the quality of the image was bad. It was grainy and quite unleasant to watch. Well, then I decided to uninstall iVusualize. The developed noted that i need to use pkg-Uninstaller (DesInstaller), however I couldn't uninstall the packages because iVusualize doesn't give me the permission to do so. Now I have no idea how to get rid of this thing. Very disappointed. Do not recommen using it.

iVisualize
May 23 2006

CHRISTOPH VOGELBUSCH  Was iTunes open while you tried to use desinstaller? May be the desinstaller author can help. iVisualize comes as a verified Apple installation package.

Except for the Fullscreen mode that really has a bad resolution (restricted be iTunes) I can't imagine what you could mean with bad image quality. The only things I could think of: Did you reduce the scaling? This is only meant for very slow Macs to increase the FPS a bit.

Address Book to CSV Exporter
May 14 2006
*****

ALUAKZ  Great application! Finally when I'm not next to my computer I still have access to my address book. Thanks to the developer.

The only problem is that if I want to make changes in my address book there is no automatic way of updating it in Gmail... But I guess this is something for Gmail team to consider.

Also, it is slightly annoying that the path where the CSV file is saved is in bright red. Why?

Beholder Lite
May 10 2006
***..

ALUAKZ  Good and solid application. But:

- the zoom thing is very very annoying because the pictures look aweful. What's even worse is that in preferences there is no field which allows you not to display this zoom.

- you cannot drag directly from the window. If it was possible, then this app would be even a greater timesaver.

- why it doesn't display the picture size? No width by height information, no information about the size in KB.

-and, could you design a decent icon please?

So... It is good but very simplistic. I don't particularly find this app helpful. Just go to Google and that's it. Why to create an app to do it for you?

MACUPDATE ADMIN  To be fair, Grab is always available in the Services menu. That said, I simply use keyboard commands for screenshots, and I create many screenshots daily. Not to take anything away from SnapNDrag, I'm sure this software is very nice.

ALUAKZ  the programs works fine. the only thing is that before converting every song it asks to install flip4mac though i have it already installed. but if you click ok, then it works just fine. the program does what it is supposed to do. it is simple and the user interface is ok. the program is not amazing but it is definitly not crap.

Text to PDF Converter
Apr 22 2006
**½..

ALUAKZ  What I don't like about Word for Mac, is that when it converts .doc files to pdf, the lower printer margin is about 0.5 which is larger than the size of the footer. So, I wanted to try a different .doc to .pdf program. Well, Text to PDF Converter did even worse. It completely mixed up all the headers and footers in the document and somehow changed all my formatting. In .pdf files in produces the margins are plain weird.

Opera
Apr 20 2006
****½

ALUAKZ  When I was using Windows, I got sick of Internet Explorer and wanted to try out a new browser. Netscape constantly crashed on me and slowed down other applications. With Firefox, I felt like there were not enough possibilities. But Opera answered all my requests, and I love it. When I switched to Mac, I thought that Safari will be just as good, but unfortunately it wasn't.

Opera is fast, reliable, and has a very nice user-friendly interface. "Thanks to" Opera I cannot use any other browser. Another plus is that Opera enables "mouse gestures".

However, two main problems that I have encountered are:

- Opera and Gmail do not really like each other

- Opera displays some pages incorrectly, but that is not because flaws in Opera, but because the designers of the web pages do not follo W3C standards.

Overall, I recommend Opera to everyone, and I still can't understand why it is not the most popular browser!
