The Missing Sync for Blackberry
Oct 26 2009
*....

GRYPHONENT  Should have listened. I purchased this app and had serious trouble with it, deleting new contacts and messing up m data. It took me a while to find out what happened. I've now posted a ticket on the developer's site… which in itself is a true hurdle run, having to click numerous times past useless FAQs. I don't get the impression this developer actually wants to help consumers to solve their problem.

Anyway, here's why my data was messed up: I'm running Outlook on a PC at work. At home I've got a Mac. While the calendar between my work PC and my dedicated iCal calendar seem to sync just fine, The Missing Sync for BlackBerry has a habit of deleting contact details on my PC at work. I've got a group established for contacts from work in AddressBook on my Mac. This group syncs with the contact list on my PC at work. However, I found that contacts I had entered previously on my PC were missing when I wanted to look them up a couple of days later. Only those contacts that were in the group on my Mac were present. The Missing Sync for BlackBerry is not smart enough to realize that an alias should be created for a contact that syncs with the group… while putting all new contacts into the general list in AddressBook, a new contact I've created on that day on my PC at work is only NOT deleted from my PC at work if I've manually moved that contact after successful syncing of all data into the AddressBook group on my Mac.

Clearly, I cannot remember all the time when I add a new contact to my contact list at work! The Missing Sync should recognize that it is syncing with a group and establish the link automatically to any new contacts that are synced. What is happening is as follows: New contact is synced from PC to Mac's group. It shows up in the general contact list only after that sync. When syncing the next day, or some hours later, the group on my Mac does not have the new contact… therefore it is deleted from the BlackBerry and subsequently from my PC at work. Annoying. Truly annoying.

I've stopped using your app for the time being until the issue is fixed.

GRYPHONENT  ProVoc is back!!!! Cannot believe this. Still haven't found any substitute for it. Please developer, get this application back on track. I'm more than happy to become a registered customer if this helps to support the continued development for this app… I'm looking at iPhone application syncing and the like.

GRYPHONENT  I have been a registered user of MP Freaker for many years and was keen to try Song Sergeant. While the app is well done, it lacks the strong feature set of beaTunes and I will therefore not bite just yet. The developer should add more functions and features.

MISHA  It's already there (at least in 3.1.8). Go to Preferences -> Display -> Advanced and check the "Hide Dock Icon" box.

It affects some of the features but if you just use it as an easy calendar like I do, it's fine w/o the Dock icon.

Enjoy!

ADAM BEHRINGER  Just to clarify, folks with the Standard License may still download the latest versions of the software and use the standard features. We are providing full support to all of our customers and we are -not- forcing an upgrade.

However, it is true that there will only be one consolidated download instead of two separate downloads. This works similar to QuickTime / QuickTime Pro where there is only one application but the advanced features are only available to those who buy the appropriate license.

Spanning Tools
Jun 4 2009

GRYPHONENT  I played this game before. It started with a Deja Vu feeling, then I noted the company name Spanning Media... and then was reminded about a truly big ripoff. SpanningSync used to be free during the Beta. As with Spanning Tools, this fact was never communicated to users who eagerly sent in bug reports and suggestions on how to improve the program. The rest is history: Spanning Sync had (has?) a price tag of $69 (only for version 1, you're expected to cough up another $69 if you upgrade to version 2) and a subscription fee of $25 per year for those who didn't want to pay the exorbitant price. Luckily, Apple has now included both address and calendar syncing in iCal and AddressBook.

GRYPHONENT  Used to be the Best but has been abandoned by the developer who simply doesn’t seem to care anymore. The app hangs, doesn’t complete uploads, and is overall very unreliable when to updating your files on the server. I’ve reported those bugs over a year ago and even got a reply from Panic, promising to look into the matter... but alas, nothing has happened since. I reckon they are busy working on Coda, which seems to be the cashcow at the moment for the company. I’ve switched to Forklift now.

GRYPHONENT  No update for over a year. The other developers apps have either been sold on (PhotoPresenter) or discontinued (the excellent and unmatched ProVoc, which is sorely missed). I am therefore hesitant to pay $8 for this app. Granted, it is a nice piece of software. But I only support shareware that is in active development. And I do not get the feeling that Arizona Software is still around.

GRYPHONENT  FotoMagico 3 only provides me with an option to upgrade my FotoMagico 2.x Home License for $89 to the Pro version! How can I get an upgrade to FotoMagico 3 Home Edition? Purchase the app again for the full price of $29?

I only use this app occassionally and won't shell out $89 for the pro version. Having paid for the home edition already I expect a proper upgrade path for home users. If that doesn't exist then I'm just doing my slideshows without using this Boinx product.

Can somebody please clarify the situation for home edition users?

Therefore, I require Newsgator syncing, which, at the time of writing, is only supported by NetNewsWire. I really hope the guys at Acrylic implement that feature soon... so I can start using Times.

GRYPHONENT  Good when it’s working. However, that comes with a big “If.” Launch2Net constantly ”forgets” the pairing with my Bluetooth phone requiring me to delete the setting from the network pane and the Bluetooth pane in the System Preferences and then reestablishing both the network setting and the pairing. Annoying and time-consuming. I reckon the reason for the problem is that Launch2Net does not play game with other Bluetooth applications such as BluePhoneElite2 and SallingClicker... and the developer seems unwilling to do anything about it.

AppZapper

GRYPHONENT  The answer is that they gave away so many copies for free and participated in so many promotiones that it became a joke. People, including myself, had 5+ licenses (though only one serial was actually sent per email). With updates "free for life," the developer has razed the market and moved on. Why update an app if there's no money in it anymore? I've moved on to CleanApp, which is much more advanced than AppZapper.

And nothing since the initial release, which was pretty much the feature set of FreezeFrame. I won't support this developer again. Bokeh still hangs a lot, doesn't switch between applications fast in focus mode, and there's still no easy way to get out of freeze mode like it used to be in Cunning Fox where you can simply activate a freezed application. Bokeh only allows for ONE application to be enhanced.

Bento

GRYPHONENT  I purchased Bento 1 and I'm shocked to see the 'no upgrade policy' from FileMaker. Apple's iWork package also does not allow for upgrades, but at least Apple provides plenty of new features at a new price with each iteration of their office suite. FileMaker on the other hand has refused to fix bugs in Bento 1, carried them over into Bento 2, and only added some more templates to the application? Does this warrant another $50? I don't think so. Shame on you FileMaker. This is the LAST piece of software I ever purchased from you.

Chessmaster 9000
Jul 9 2008
**...

GRYPHONENT  I purchased Chessmaster 9000 back in 2003 when it was released. It has been littered with bugs ever since and the developer has been slow to address those (despite numerous emails and promises that 'an update will be out soon').

Some five years after its release Chessmaster now goes universal. About time. However, the DVD still needs to be present in the drive... and quite frankly: this is annoying for a game like this. No warranty on the DVD either as it's just too old.

I've stopped using Chessmaster 9000 and purchased Shredder Chess instead. It's simple graphicwise, but more effective and stronger in its thinking. Also, you don't need the DVD present (forget it anyway on travels most of the time).

I won't purchase any game from Feral ever again. My experience with Chessmaster 9000 was THAT bad.

Chessmaster 9000
Nov 4 2008

EDDDEDUCK  This is just a response to the comments made in this review of Chessmaster 9000.

1.) The 1.0.2 patch solved all of the major reported issues we had with the game, we sold thousands of copies of Chessmaster and on the whole we have had a lot more good comments than bad since we released 1.0.2. After this we even have updated (again) with a 1.1.2 universal version of the game. This is not to say that their are not issues just that a lot of people might not suffer like you did.

The original 1.0 release had a patch released quickly (1.0.1) to fix some reported problems (and to add French support), the second 1.0.2 patch was released to support 10.4 which had new libraries that needed to be supported.

2.) Chessmaster 9000 has been out for a while now, it was released a long time before Intel Mac even existed. The game ran under rosetta on Intel Macs (although a little slow in parts) meaning you could still play without a UA patch. The Universal update was provided free of charge as an update to all users of the game so we can continue support of this title. Updating to Intel native takes a lot of work and is a lot more effort than a standard patch.

We pride ourselves on supporting older products, the fact we support and patch games that are as old as Chessmaster 9000 we think is a good thing rather than a bad thing as you can see we have a track record of supporting products and caring about our products over the long term not just the first year or six months.

3.) We offer a disk replacement service for the cost of a disk and postage. This covers any potential issues people might have with needing the disk and damaging it on route. Sadly the disk check is their due to rampant piracy of the title which is hindered by using a original DVD check. We are looking at other solutions like online checking instead but this raises different issues which people might not like.

Finally I am sorry you are so unhappy with the game and that you don't want to buy another Feral game ever, rest assured we do always strive to make the best game we can and make it as Mac like as possible.

GRYPHONENT  I'm shocked by the high upgrade price. As a registered user of both version 1 and 2 I still cannot see much improvement to the earlier versions apart from the GUI and some speed gain. Furthermore, the app has lost ground to iTunes, which now does pretty much the same job... and in my opinion much better.

The developer puts out an upgrade very two years or so... without ever fixing existing bugs or replying to customer feedback in between. I've had enough. Buyer beware.

GRYPHONENT  This is the most inaccurate accounting app on the planet... unless you stick to only onc currency! Unfortunately, the developer isn't listening to customers who're getting fed up with balance sheets that report gains and losses in the tens of thousands due to LiquidLedger simply being unable to handle foreign currency transactions.

iVolume
May 13 2008

GRYPHONENT  I registered iVolume at version 2 and reported various problems years ago. They were never fixed. Overall, support and development for the app was literally non-existent. As you can read from the other reviews the app itself isn't really convincing either. I've got no idea what has changed under version 3 but won't update for $20. Way too pricey. Done the mistake once, won't do it twice.

GRYPHONENT  This app used to be called Freeze Frame. An application that never truly received much development and stopped in its tracks to fully exploit its potential. So, months later we get Bokeh, a version 1.0, and a significantly higher price tag. What's new and different? What's changed? Other than automatic updates I cannot see any changes. And what's with a decent upgrade offer for registered users of FreezeFrame?

GRYPHONENT  These are the same practices as those employed by Softpress (Freeway Pro 4 featured on MacZot, then two weeks later announcement of version 5 as paid for upgrade), RapidWeaver 3.5 featured everywhere with paid for upgrade to version 3.6 (probably the most appalling move by any developer), and now Yazsoft going from version 4 to 5 just weeks after a massive sale on MacHeist. Go figure.

To Yazsoft: I've still running a bug reported first with version 2, whereas a pop-up shows asking whether I want to "add a new download." This bug has NEVER been fixed throughout version 3 and 4!

GRYPHONENT  I agree with the previous review. After more than a year of waiting with no updates and bugfixes from the developer, out of nowhere comes a version 2... asking for a rather steep upgrade price and offering little new features. That is unless you go for the new Pro version. I'm disappointed and won't play that game. If the Pro version would be available as an upgrade for the price of the standard version, then maybe. But upgrading from 1.8 to 2.0 in the standard version? What gives?

The website is out of date and the last blog entry on it stems from November 2007. Obviously, nobody at Unsanity cares about customer support... which is a shame, because I for one have strongly supported this company and registered almost every single one of their products.

Jun 16 2009

XENOPHILE  Think about it: an international version of a weather application requires more than a few trivial language localizations. Different weather servers, often providing data in different formats from the American servers, would need to be accessed and interpreted by Wx. Furthermore, these weather servers typically aren't set 'n' forget affairs, they are constantly updating/changing the requirements for accessing data, as exemplified by the number of second-rate weather apps that work great for a while and then lose some or all of their features because their developers don't constantly maintain them. Thus adding international weather servers represents not a one-time investment of time and effort, but a sustained increase in the maintenance work on Wx.

I'm sure the developer can add to this regarding his priorities on Wx. My suspicion is that he's got a life outside of Wx, since he'd have to register an awful lot of users to make a decent living.

CATLAN  From YAI Homepage: YAI (You Are Invited) is a plug-in for Apple Mail that translates and transfers Outlook, Google Calendar, Zimbra and Exchange style meeting invitations to iCal.

So it translates iCalendar files which iCal not understand to iCalendar files iCal understand.

OMiC extract from winmail.dat files embedded attachment, RTF messages, nested messages (rfc822), vCards or iCalendar files.

This are two complete different problems and solutions.

If only the crashes would be fixed and compatibility improved.

GRYPHONENT  Saft is a great add-on to Safari... however, it is annoying and aggravating having to wait each time for a minor update whenever Apple releases a security fix, or upgrades for the OS or the Safari browser. Saft simply stops working until the developer puts out a new version. I understand this has to do with fighting piracy... but seriously, at $12 for a license such measures are an inconvenience for registered users.

GraphicConverter X

***..

GRYPHONENT  Well, this was expected... following the bundle deal some days ago. However, I agree with previous reviewers: GraphicConverter needs a major facelift! The app has become convoluted and is stuck in the mid 90's. I was expecting GUI improvements and I'm disappointed that they didn't happen. Being a customer since version 1 of this excellent app I have to say that I won't upgrade just yet. Also, GraphicConverter has been replaced by other useful tools and these days it's not that much about "converting" anymore but about "sorting and tagging." And it's here where GraphicConverter just doesn't cut it.

GRYPHONENT  Awaken 3.1.4b has the same problem as previous versions: my Mac does wake up from sleep and when I look at the screen in the morning Awaken’s there... but no music is playing nor is the alternative alarm ringing. In fact, I’m still woken up by my mobile phone because I simply cannot rely on Awaken. I’ve reported this issue numerous times and, judging from the forums on the developer’s site, I’m not alone. However, nothing’s been done to address the problem. It’s been months now since I registered and I’m seriously considering going back to AlarmClockPro. It’s not as nice to look at... but it works! Reliably that is. And: I don’t have to wait for months before getting a reply from customer support. Awaken should be renamed Asleep.

If it would work like PopCharProX and all the other text expanding utilities such as Textpander and TypeItForMe I'd maybe consider purchasing it... but as it stands I'm sticking to Textpander. Less obtrusive.

HMURCHISON  Dockless support in the future is planned

**Dockless operation is not officially supported yet, but you can turn Typinator into a background-only application by means of a hidden switch**

YOGI COACH  You might also consider checking out a Freeware application called "Dock Dodger". It allows you to disable the dock icon for just about any application.

I haven't put it through its paces yet, but all of the reviews I have read have been very positive.

I hope this helps...

GRYPHONENT  Jan,

Thanks for the reply. Truly appreciated. Sorry I didn't spot that the 6230 is not supported. However, the K800i just doesn't work either. I did a restart, ran FoneLink... and it didn't find the mobile. I then downloaded PhoneAgent and it had no problems finding the K800i. I quit PhoneAgent, went back to FoneLink and the only gadget that shows is... my iPod Nano. Quit FoneLink again, back to FileExchange... and no problem there either. Whatever the bug: FoneLink doesn't list my Bluetooth enabled mobile. As I said, I will come back and do another test run before settling on an app. But so far PhoneAgent is somewhat more reliable.

GRYPHONENT  Very much in Beta. Not working on my Sony Ericsson K800i and Nokia 6230. The phones are not recognized and I cannot even add the devices despite Bluetooth being enabled and the phones showing in the File Exchange window. This one needs to go back to the drawing board... will check back in at a later version before dashing out my hard earned dough.

GRYPHONENT  Cool tagging app... but I have to agree: at $20 it's a bit pricey. For $14.95 it would be a no-brainer. What about an introductory offer?

GRYPHONENT  Argh, it's Java... ugly and slow. Give iEatBrainz a try instead.

FOCHER  iEatBrainz definitely looks nice (and nicer than Jaikoz) but is hardly comparable. First, iEatBrainz is very basic in its functionality and support of acoustic fingerprinting and MusicBrainz unique ID lookups. Second, it's a long dead tool that hasn't been updated. Even the iEatBrainz developer points users to Jaikoz as a replacement.

If you on focus on the relatively bad user interface for Jaikoz, then you are missing out on the raw power of the tool.

87BOOSTED  Java is actually a good choice for this paticular application and it may not scream through a collection of 25k in a minute, it does complete the task. I guarantee jaikoz is more stable and will provide better performance in usability, and function than its competitors. Tagging is an art and it is more complex than many people understand. If it wasnt, it would be free. Jaikoz is the closest to free you can get and I cannot agree with the above users comments.

GRYPHONENT  This is outrageous. I purchased RW 3.5 early January at version 3.5. It had its quirks and bugs, but I trusted they would be resolved with the next version. Now I'm asked to pay for an upgrade from version 3.5 to version 3.6??? And while the intro screen announces a substantial discount my fee is still $25 for an upgrade. The new app is $49!!! I cannot see enough new features in this minor update to justify this fee. Sorry, but the folks at RealMacSoftware have just lost my trust.

GRYPHONENT  Nice... but doesn't offer anything that Magrathea doesn't already have. And Magrathea is freeware.
