iReadFast	Sep 23 2008	BARQSX Stay away! Developer is unreliable and untrustworthy. When iReadFast first came out, I participated in the beta comments program, where I sent in my suggestions in return for a promised free license. I sent in my suggestions, the developer sent an acknowledgment of receipt, but I never received the promised free license. Follow-up emails went unanswered. If you're looking for a trustworthy and reliable developer, stay away! (Version 1.2)		-7

GENGIS Hi BARQSX, I apologize if I never answered to your suggestions. I received tens of emails and I know I missed to answer to some of them. As you know I was planning to sell iReadFast but then I realized that because of bureaucracy and taxes this was going to cost me more money than what I was going to earn. I abandoned the development of iReadFast for some months and only some weeks ago I decided to distribute it as freeware, I know people who sent me comments and suggestions like you may feel this was unjust, but the option was to not distribute iReadFast at all.

Apple.com Daily Special CANADA	Sep 8 2008	BARQSX This is nothing but adware for your Mac! Not only does it constantly display pathetic "deals", it doesn't even display the proper ones -- i.e. the ones from Apple CANADA (I clicked a link and it went to the US store). STAY AWAY. (Version 1.65)		-1

BootChamp	Aug 26 2008	BARQSX Great little app that does exactly what it's meant to do -- and for free! I had an issue where the the app failed to find my modified Windows volume (I had installed NTFS-3G to allow writing to my NTFS volume). I contacted the developer and he had a fix done the SAME DAY! Amazing support for a useful app, all for free. You can't ask for more! (Version 1.0.1)		+1

MacFUSE	Apr 2 2008	BARQSX After installing MacFUSE, my Macbook Pro fails to sleep when idle (eventhough my Energy Saver settings is set to sleep after a few minutes of idleness). After uninstalling MacFUSE, my Macbook Pro goes to sleep as normal! I'm running Leopard 10.5.2. Interestingly, I tried Paragon NTFS (another program that allows you to read/write to NTFS formatted drives) and experienced the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? (Version 1.3.1)		0

NTFS for Mac OS X	Apr 2 2008	BARQSX After installing this program, I noticed that my Macbook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.2) failed to go to sleep when idle, instead of obeying my Energy Saver settings to sleep after several minutes of idleness. It would stay on the ENTIRE night if I forgot to manually shut it down. After wasting half a day trying to figure out what the problem was, I uninstalled Paragon and my Macbook Pro now sleeps as normal! A quick Google search finds that I'm not the first to experience this extra "feature" of the program. I should also note that MacFUSE -- another NTFS enabling software -- also results in this failure to sleep, so the problem isn't unique to Paragon. However, at least MacFUSE is free...
