APPLEDOGX  Nearly a whopping $200 for a type styling program????? I could see this at $49, but for this much cash, it must do something I might be missing.  
(Version 10.6.39)

APPLEDOGX  Still no improvement in Bento 3's overly simplistic and under-powered calculation fields. No conditionals either. No label printing either. Until Bento starts acting more like a real database instead of a very pretty list manager, it will be lacking what it really needs to be attractive. I'm really trying to find a solid reason to upgrade aside from the long-overdue security features. What Bento 3 really needs is to make more progress on user requested features instead of dribbles and drabbles of improvements. Yes, the economy is poor, but if you want us to fork over more cash, Filemaker, you need to fork over more features.  
(Version 3.0.1)

APPLEDOGX  Please add Encryption to Bento, FileMaker. How loud must we scream????  
(Version 2.0v5)

APPLEDOGX  BE FOREWARNED! I have had serious trouble with iTunes 8.1 and my iPod touch. It won't sync calendars. Other users have reported other sorts of problems. This is the first version with which I've ever had so much trouble. There are many with iPod touches and iPhones having this problem from what I've read the past day. Some have been able to correct it, others, like me, have not. I tried permissions, restoring, reinstalling iTunes, turning off and on settings Apple mentioned, and nothing has helped.

If you have an iPod touch or iPhone, at least, you may want to investigate the problems before upgrading to 8.1, to see what you might have happen before Apple releases a less buggy update.  
(Version 8.1)

APPLEDOGX  iWork 09 is a good upgrade to the iWork suite. I find myself using Pages more than anything. It's easier than ever to share with Word users, though I find that the email as a Word document is not adding the file extension that Windows users need, even though I select to do so for saving the documents. Pages is easier to use than Word, and very flexible. It still cannot do footnotes in a table for some reason and Apple has not responded to add this feature from the previous version.

Numbers is quite usable now. It is the most improved of the three applications for iWork 09. I hate the odd implementation of the new transpose function, though. You have to combine it with index for it to be useful. This is one thing that Excel definitely does better. For the most part, Numbers is very easy to use, and developing a Numbers based mindset and forgetting the way you work with other spreadsheets, opens you to its great possibilities.

Keynote's magic move is great, but when you have transparency in a magic moved photo, the magic seems to disappear. It becomes tiny, moves and then springs back to size. This magician needs some serious bug fixing. Flash export is also gone, but all in all, Keynote is easy to use and makes superior presentations to the competition.

I upgraded from iWork 08, and I'm glad I did. The changes were worth the outlay.  
(Version 09)

APPLEDOGX  It is good to find a free geneology program.

I do see some shortcomings, though. It does not provide for entry of same-sex partners in families, requiring partners to be a man and a woman. In this day and age, it would be more useful to allow different mixes in partners. It was also impossible to cancel entry of a partner, from what I could see.

The user interface seems very OS-9, and the default color for the background is horrible. Fortunately, you can change it.  
(Version 84)

APPLEDOGX  I have had trouble that sometimes the .doc is not appended when exporting word documents. Make sure it appears in the file name for the Windows attachment in the email. Also, Windows users get odd characters appended to the .doc file extension, at least in Pages 08, if the file name contains international characters, such as accents, tildes, etc. I always take them out, then the Windows user usually can open the word document exported with no trouble. Hope this helps you a bit.  
(Version 3.0.3)

APPLEDOGX  As a developer, I don't like pirated software. There is one thing lower than pirating, however, and that is putting viruses and trojans into software. This tool does what it says. I tested it out just to make sure I was not infected and I DIDN'T pirate iWork. Frankly, iWork is cheap enough that most anybody could afford it, even with the rotten economy. iWork is wonderful software... please BUY it from Apple. Kudos to the developer and their quick response to the threat.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  Wonderful! It works great. It looks and feels like an HP-12C. If there would be a way to add key click, it would also help; at least as an option.

If you would only do web app version that fills the screen on an iPod touch or iPhone and not requiere an internet connection, it would be PERFECT! Also, an HP-15C version would surely be appreciated.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  Great way to organize music and connect with an iPod. The sync features are fairly intuitive and work well.

The app store is great, but searching and organization of the iTunes store could use some major work. When you search for apps for your iPod touch or iPhone you get results mixed in for other types of media. The interface for apps should be more separated from the other media so you don't have to limit the type to "applications" each time you get results. There was a way to see just applications sorted by date, then it became somewhat incomplete, as is a way to see all new and newly updated games. The "new" section often times doesn't show many new items.  
(Version 8.0.1)

APPLEDOGX  A big improvement. Celsius and SI units were sorely lacking and are finally there. Also, an option to display both SI and U.S. customary units would be good. Also, better satellite coverage maps of Mexico and other countries would help.  
(Version 1.1)

APPLEDOGX  I find it quite stable; more so than the paid applications I demoed before chosing to work with this program. I also find it very intuitive and easier to resize walls and rooms than with other similar programs. It would also be nice to be able to define a snap range; for example every 10 cm or every 6 inches, etc. The program needs a better way to do floors and the ability to do multi-story homes. It also needs to import Google Sketchup objects as many other programs can do.

Oh, and it's free, and better than many paid applications that purport to do the same.  
(Version 1.3.1)

APPLEDOGX  Simply fun. Best graphics of any slot on the iPod touch/iPhone. The only possible error I see is the Bet One button keeps adding coins until three, but doesn't always start at one. It works, but it's not the standard behavior I've seen at casinos.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  Frankly Apple, the update is great, but WHY include 405 MB of printers when it would be less waste of bandwidth and disk space just download updates for the printers we need.  
(Version 1.1.1)

APPLEDOGX  Finally got it! Reinstall THE WHOLE program from the original disk. Don't touch anything. Apply all the updates from the first to this one. A good hour's work including trying to figure the problem out.

This is the worst updater I've ever run. How can MS release something so touchy and badly done? Frankly I use iWork for nearly everything now, except that Numbers still can't quite cut replacing Excel. Office gets slower and more cumbersome with each release. Too bad such a great suite has become a monster.  
(Version 12.1.2)

APPLEDOGX  Even with the edit Microsoft suggests, it simply doesn't run.  
(Version 12.1.2)

APPLEDOGX  It is useful! It would be great to have access to these terms, but at $32, I think I will just search with Google when I have questions. It seems way to expensive to me.  
(Version 1.02)

APPLEDOGX  While this IS good, it would have been better to have had updates for each printer instead of such a HUGE file to download just to update one printer.  
(Version 1.1)

APPLEDOGX  It would be nice if you had the option to make it bark.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  Excellent, easy to use interface. Extends address book and iCal in wonderful ways. Great way to track simple information in a clean and uncluttered manner. Results look professional.

Very useful, but lacking in some key areas:

- Multiline addresses oddly not supported.

- No support for mailing labels.

- Calculation fields are much to basic, lacking in conditionals, and even rudimentary text and mathematical functions.

- Duration should include year as well.

- Needs reporting capabilities.

- Document fields should be extended to permit email messages.  
(Version 1.0v2)

APPLEDOGX  This app is a diamond in the rough. Great retouching features. Needs a magic wand tool or some sort of magnetic lasso. Would also like to see an easy red-eye tool as well as blue, green and yellow eye tool for pets that few apps have. Undo remembers too much, though this is not always a bad thing, it would be nice to be able to have a "macro undo" and a "micro undo". This app deserves much more publicity!  
(Version 1.7.1)

APPLEDOGX  This is a promising program; worth downloading as improvements are made. Definitely has bugs that need squashing... draw a rectangle, copy it and paste it and you get a circle or rounded rectangle. The web site seems bare and there is no place to report bugs that I can see. Wish there was a way to control the palette color, as well.   
(Version 0.4)

APPLEDOGX  I did write this with just dogs in mind, as a concerned dog owner, however while getting information together for it, I did find that cats are more sensitive to certain things. NEVER give a cat paracetamol, not even a small quantity. Cat's systems also do not tolerate chocolate for the same reasons as dogs, however a finicky cat will usually not pay much attention to it, so it's not as much of a problem. A dog will gobble it right down given the chance.  
(Version 1.0.1)

APPLEDOGX  This is the finest draw application on MacOS X outside of Illustrator. If it had better rotation and duplication tools, Illustrator would really not be all that much better. It beats Lineform with its much more complete and functional bezier tool. The developer is very good at supporting this product and responding to user emails.  
(Version 2.9.7)

APPLEDOGX  UI issues have been corrected from what I can tell. If you write, speak, or even study Spanish, this widget is a must have. I use it all the time. Great definitions from a trustworthy source in a way that is easy to get.  
(Version 2.02)

APPLEDOGX  Fabulous way to get definitions of Spanish words, and from a source which can't be beat. Widget works great; they've fixed the issues I had with it. If you speak or write in Spanish, this is a must!  
(Version 2.02)

APPLEDOGX  Much improved; congratulations!! The ability to resize was working when I first installed it on Leopard, but when I looked up the second word, the size box disappeared and I can just scroll. After several words with long definitions, the size box hasn't come back.   
(Version 2.0)

APPLEDOGX  I totally agree! I would much rather see all of these various messengers accessible from iChat. I don't want to run 4 different messenger programs to chat with my friends who use different messenger programs. Basically, iChat is my main program too. Many friends don't get chatted with as much for this reason.  
(Version 3.0b2.78326)

APPLEDOGX  The watermark feature doesn't work on my Mac. (Intel/MacOS 10.4.10) I tried both text and image, and the file is always devoid of either one. Too bad. This is really just what I need to do.  
(Version 2.0.3r2)

APPLEDOGX  There seem to be Revised Standard Versions in many free applications, which also doesn't require a license, and is much more understandable to most modern readers.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  Seems to work well. Interesting, but thou shalt keep wishing for a modern translation of the Bible. The KJV is not one of my favorites.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  The download and developer links seem to be broken.  
(Version 1.2.1)

APPLEDOGX  Mainly stable and the new find IS quite nice. You don't lose the found word on web pages anymore. Really STILL needs an ad blocker (not just a pop-up blocker) built in.  
(Version 3.0.3b)

APPLEDOGX  Thank you LemkeSoft. Now that's valuing your customers! I wish all developers were as fair about these things.  
(Version 6.0)

APPLEDOGX  Three cheers for MacUpdate. In these great bundle promotions, everybody wins.

As for the TT Pro DVD download, with thousands trying to download at once, it would have to be slow.  
(Version )

APPLEDOGX  I have been a Lineform user since January. I just got Intaglio, but so far I love it. The bezier editing in Intaglio is much more intuitive and complete than in Lineform. They could learn a BIG lesson on that from Intaglio. Lineform's quirky and disappearing bezier handles are frustrating and have been one of the greatest reasons I rarely use it, but Intaglio seems to model its bezier behavior on Illustrator, which is quite logical and makes them easy to deal with. I find some features like option-dragging in Intaglio to be much more standard Mac-like behavior. So far I have no stability issues and I think Intaglio is a first-class gem of a very Mac-like application.  
(Version 2.9.5a)

APPLEDOGX  I get this error with 1.3.1 on a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.4.10 and the most recent iTunes on launching Fetch Art and no music in the list:

Can't make «class pLoc» of «class cURT» id 6035 of «class cRTP» id 5926 of «class cSrc» id 5925 of application "iTunes" into type string. (-1700)

Applescript errors are such a pain!  
(Version 1.3.1)

APPLEDOGX  I agree with Memphisbird's comment about SRS iWow. It really wasn't one of my big reasons for buying the bundle, but it really has given iTunes a BIG kick on my MacBook Pro speakers. I really didn't think such great sound was even possible on them. It really made the bundle worth while, along with lots of other great software here. I REALLYhope Itaglio gets in soon.  
(Version )

APPLEDOGX  For me it works, but it's still missing an integrated ad blocker. Seems more like 2.5 than 3.0 to me with the small number of visible changes.  
(Version 3.0b)

APPLEDOGX  Wacom support and updates even for the old original Graphire are worth noting. This is a company that really takes support and updates seriously, even for older products. Because of all this, my next tablet will definitely be a Wacom product.  
(Version 6.04-2)

APPLEDOGX  Would be nice if you could add the Motorola Razr V3 series  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  Add paragraph style sheets and you've got a total winner.  
(Version 0.9.4a)

APPLEDOGX  Actually, you CAN enter 24-hour time. The time preference of 12 or 24 hour time entry and display is selectable in in the iFly>Preferences... menu. Date entry on my computer DOES work with 3/27. When you tab out of the field, the year is entered. If it does not work on your computer according to your localized settings, please file a bug report. As for the arrival date not filling, tabbing out of the flight date field will automatically fill the arrival date field when you have a valid date specified in the flight date field.

For saving a record, there is a Save button in iFly. Hitting enter does not save a record by design. In iFly you need to enter several required fields and explicitly Save the record to prevent the database from filling with incomplete, useless records.  
(Version 2.0)

APPLEDOGX  This lets you easily and quickly add features to sites created in iWeb that would be difficult to add without this utility. This is pure gold for the iWeb developer.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEDOGX  WOW!!! Incredible and surprising. Mail was a bit sluggish to start on my Mac for many months. After running this quick utility, now it starts up in two seconds maximum!!!!

This product is an example of simplicity being elegance. Kudos to the author.  
(Version 0.9)

APPLEDOGX  It works perfectly and addresses the short comings of Apple's fairly useless reminders.  
(Version 2.5)

APPLEDOGX  Surprisingly great little gem. I wish it had an undo function so you could try things out and play around with the image.  
(Version 4.90)

APPLEDOGX  Great! Even seems to use the right date for Chinese horoscope animals. Many programs seem to get the animal wrong before Chinese new year. I have had to use other programs to get much of what this gives. It would be great if you could display the information without having to click the mouse, right in the address book, though.  
(Version 1.1)

APPLEDOGX  In addition to the Reader, it installs an update application in your Utilities folder and a login item. These may be okay, but I dislike intensely when applications I choose to install also install MORE APPLICATIONS on my computer and login items without my knowledge. When will companies realize that I want to control what I update, or at least choose what tries to update itself. Software should not constitute an invasion of privacy.   
(Version 8.0)

APPLEDOGX  Very good. Needs to allow the definition window to be resized. Scrolling is somewhat a pain just because the definition area is too small.  
(Version 1.3)

APPLEDOGX  Everything seems to work great, but the ftp doesn't seem to work. I tried manually connecting and uploading to the right place and it worked, but via MultiAlarm 3.4.1 it doesn't. The idea is great, and except for this, it seems to work perfectly.  
(Version 3.4.1)

APPLEDOGX  Really does create a dmg file easily. The only thing really missing is the ability to include a background image for the dmg window and hide the image file on the dmg.  
(Version 0.5.4b)

APPLEDOGX  True to the great HP calculator. This is one of the better emulations I have seen and adds novel and useful features. Would love to see the calculator face look more like the original though; it would feel much nicer. You could add a bit of sound feedback to sort of make it feel like the original keys. Great job; I am greateful to you for this great program.  
(Version 1.0.0)

APPLEDOGX  Works, but after the free credit, it let me buy credit, then sent me an email saying it was refunded. Seems to have bias about not letting some places, like whre I live, buy credit. Would save me money, but if you can't buy credits, it is useless.  
(Version 2.0.0.161)

APPLEDOGX  Would be good, but it won't let me use a perfectly good credit card to buy credits. I can buy elsewhere with no problems. Their credit policies seem to be biased towards people living in US/EU.  
(Version 1.5.0.61)

APPLEDOGX  Fabulous program. I wish you could add Spanish dictionaries, too.  
(Version 1.7)

APPLEDOGX  Yes!!!! I would love iDog if it were to be developed.  
(Version 2.0)

APPLEDOGX  Faster than any browser I've used, but won't load some pages. Still needs bookmarks. Lots of promise!  
(Version 0.2)

APPLEDOGX  iChat usually performs fairly well, but sometimes, even with good bandwidth, refuses to connect.

The idea that you have to pay $99 for .Mac to get encrypted chat is really a slap at users who purchase MacOS though.  
(Version 2.1)

APPLEDOGX  Logical, easy to use and self-explanatory interface. Supported tools are easy to use except for transparency on color-filled shapes. Cool gradient feature, but needs color selection for center of gradient. Very stable.

Lacks layers, improved bezier curve editing, intelligent lines, text gradient fills.

Fair and reasonable price and responsive developer.  
(Version 1.1)

APPLEDOGX  Horrible and disgusting!!! Dreadful, nasty gas passing noises.

Cute way to get your friends to go home late at night while working on the computer. A GEM to be used sparingly!!!  
(Version 1.01)

APPLEDOGX  Very nice and useful; does some simple but unique stuff. Love the cartoon balloon for some quick cartoons from photos.  
(Version 2.1)
