EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  This application is made in REALbasic, not Cocoa, which explains some of its UI problems/bugs (open file dialog, controls being incorrectly colored, incorrect text size/font). While it works well enough, it would be nice to have it cleaned up a bit so it acts and looks more like a normal Mac OS application.  
(Version 1.8.3)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  I did email the developer when I originally found the bugs and then again when I found them in the 2.0 version.  
(Version 2.0b4)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  I was kicking the tires with 2.0 beta 2 and was disappointed that it was still very buggy. It has a lot of potential (the new features are great) but in just 10 minutes of minor testing I ran into several bugs (some that are still there from 1.x) and several new obvious bugs. I'm not sure I'd be willing to trust my banking to this program until the developer is willing to put in some real time testing it.  
(Version 2.0b3)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  To follow up on my previous review, the new date ranges in the new betas are nice, but once you have the data, there is no way to analyze it quickly. The totals listed for basically all categories would be great.  
(Version 1.0b4)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Nice start, but needs many more options for creating smart folders. Specifically by month and date ranges. You can sort-of get there by doing a 'less than' 'greater than' months old, but that isn't static like a true date range would be. It would also be cool if you could issue refunds, etc from the UI.  
(Version 1.0b2)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Does what it advertises in a straight forward and simple way. Besides some basic editing options (which I currently do in iMovie), I couldn't really ask for more.  
(Version 1.5.3)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Hi there,

The 3.7.4 update was a free update to fix minor bugs and uses previous serial numbers just fine. I'm not sure why your system is acting up, but if you're still having issues please contact us via our website.  
(Version 3.7.4)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Doesn't update the base station *firmware* so I still can't login to my air disk after about 24 hours without restarting the base station. Not to mention no Time Machine support.  
(Version 2007-002)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Absolutely excellent. Great Apple-like API, customizable, fast, easy to use and a liberal license. I can't think of anything else I'd want to see in this project.  
(Version 1.5.1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Please contact Panic support at coda@panic.com so we can work with you to fix this issue.  
(Version 1.1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  You can convert all characters to their html symbol (&) by selecting the text you want to convert and selecting the menu item Text -> Encode Entities.  
(Version 1.0.3)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  As someone else mentioned, not having the titles rollover in 3.0 is a bit of a pain. However, the main problem is it leaks/uses massive amounts of memory. After running it for a couple days it was using 400+ MB of physical memory vs 2.0 which only uses 15 MB. Back to 2.0 until 3.0 gets the kinks worked out.  
(Version 3.0)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  I've seen countless crash reports with people running this with 'less than high quality' plugins. Most of the time users don't even know what it is or how it was installed.

This leads to a support nightmare for developers who get blamed for unstable applications when it's actually Input Managers or Haxies causing problems. If you like a stable system; I'd suggest staying clear of this.  
(Version 0.8.1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Hi,

In Coda 1.0.1 we've greatly improved the PHP support. You may now specify a local root URL which will be used to preview local PHP files. EG: http://localhost:3000.

Once you've specified a local root URL, you're files will also automatically refresh when editing linked CSS files. After saving a CSS file, all pages that reference that file will automatically refresh.

Hope these improvements help improve your experience with Coda and if there's anything we're missing, just drop us a line at coda at panic dot com. :)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Is anything noted in your console related to Bookit after it quits? The Console Application is found /Applications/Utilities folder.   
(Version 3.7.2)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Please email us at: support at everydaysoftware dot net and send us your crash log. We would very much like to solve this issue for you but we are going to need more information.  
(Version 3.7.2)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  Are you running 10.3.9 or higher? Bookit now requires 10.3.9 and will crash on launch if you're running an older OS.  
(Version 3.7.2)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  I was just thinking about how handy an app exactly like this would be while I was tediously selecting font after font in Photoshop. After a quick search I found FontDoc. I love the ability to set the preview text to get exactly the look I'm going for. Great little app!  
(Version 1.1.3)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  We have identified a problem with the .mac framework that will cause a crash if not run under an administrator account and are fixing it in the next beta release. If this is not the problem you are having, please drop us an email.  
(Version 3.7.2b1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  We've changed the way the bookmark menu is handled in the latest beta of Bookit to better support browsers that do not have a dedicated bookmark menu folder. If you feel we could arrange the bookmarks differently, please drop us an email with specific problems you're experiancing.  
(Version 3.7.2b1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  You're extremely cheap if you think $25 is too much for an application. People have to realize developers need to make a living too and $25 is a small price to pay compared to other commercial applications.  
(Version 5.1.1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  It's great that you can now sort recordings by date in the full screen interface! However, the changes to the Menu button functionality when using the Apple Remote are questionable at best.

This is typical of EyeTV, two steps forward, one step back. Elgato would do itself a favor by hiring some better interface/usability designers.  
(Version 2.3.1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  I've been in contact with Elgato tech support on several occasions regarding the Applescript bugs I've encountered. However, I feel like I should append my initial review of EyeTV to include my most recent experiences.

I have experienced several very serious problems with EyeTV and I caution anyone thinking about getting EyeTV to consider these problems before purchasing it. The first problem I've had is recordings occasionally end up being 0 seconds long, EyeTV simply fails to record properly. The second, and more serious issue, is EyeTV no longer reliably wakes up my computer to begin recording a show I have scheduled. I have an Intel MacMini, and it fails to wake up the machine more than it does. This is absolutely unacceptable since it prevents EyeTV from doing the one thing I bought it to do, record TV.

To Elgato's credit, they have been fairly responsive to my bug reports and crashes, but their product testing could certainly be improved a great deal.  
(Version 2.3)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  EyeTV is a fairly good solution for people wanting to watch/record TV on their Macs. However, it is definitely lacking when it comes to integrating it into a home theatre settings. I hope Elgato realizes this and is willing to add a full screen interface for viewing schedules and seeing what you've recorded.

I've also experienced some stability problems with EyeTV including random hanging and crashes. (To be fair, the crashes seem to be less of a problem with 2.1.) I've also encountered numerous bugs in their AppleScript support/implementation which leads me to believe their product testing might not be as thorough as it should be.

All in all, EyeTV does work as advertised, but a little more polish and addressing the lack of a full screen interface would go a long way.  
(Version 2.1)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  There's a program called Bookit that will sync bookmarks between multiple browsers. Search for it here at MU.  
(Version 3.2.4)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  2.0 is nearly perfect and is exactly what a dashboard widget should be: useful, elegant and provides data perfect for temporary access in the dashboard.  
(Version 2.0)

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE  We contacted this user within hours of him reporting the bug & worked through this issue within days of being reported. We take all reported issues very seriously and try our best to resolve them in a timely manor.  
(Version 3.6)

WADE  You can easily change the master bookmark file to Explorer, and then export only those bookmarks to Safari. Bookit can do this, and it's actually pretty easy. Just select the Explorer bookmark file in the list, and select File->Set as Master Bookmark. I'm not sure how much more straight forward this can be. Also, if you have question about how to use Bookit, it includes full documentation which can be acessed from the Help menu.
