KINGADROCK  Good start on a very promising application. I'm sticking with my current invoicing application for now but I will keep an eye on this.

Pros:

- Simple, in a good way

- Intuitive Interface

- I love ability to save items, and the item list is incredibly handy

- Documents list should be tabbed like Clients and Items (no big deal though)

- Price "after tax" is a nice touch in item listings

Cons:

- Lacks Address Book support

- Needs a little more in the way of invoice customization

- Lacks Project Timing

- Lacks Reporting Functions

- A little pricey when compared to more mature applications out there  
(Version 1.0.4)

KINGADROCK  Nobody likes to pay for software, especially software that was once free. Put this in perspective though, FontExplorer X is the best overall font management software on the market, do you really blame them for charging? I don't; I just bought my license today.  
(Version 2.0.1)

KINGADROCK  Great little application. It works well but it has some minor quirks I'd like to see addressed:

- I'd like to be able to change the folder icons.

- I'd love to be able to sort the folders and create sub folders.

- Icons are weak and blah.

Again, those are the minor issues I have with the app. Overall it's very good. It's snappy quick and seems to be very stable. And I love the simplicity of it.

I'm a Yojimbo user, I'd like to switch to ShoveBox full time but the thought of transferring a thousand Yojimbo clips into ShoveBox is holding me back.  
(Version 1.6.2)

KINGADROCK  COOKIE08, Actually FVDG is right. FontAgent Pro is the only (of the major) Font Managers that handles system fonts the way it does. There is an option to not handle them at all which is the safest way to go since they are never accidentally overwritten, deactivated or removed.  
(Version 1.0.3)

KINGADROCK  I don't know where you're training but that's not the way it works in the real world. If a client comes in with a print job and it has 10 fonts in it, and it takes 2 minutes to find and activate each one, that's 20 minutes wasted. Using Collections sounds like a wonderful idea, but you can't have Collections set up for jobs created elsewhere.  
(Version 1.0.3)

KINGADROCK  Nice application with a clean and intuitive interface, but without auto-activation it's pretty useless to me. Spending several minutes at a time to manually locate and activate fonts before beginning to work on a project is not practical. Add auto-activation and you've got something here.  
(Version 1.0.3)

KINGADROCK  This is the kind of application that once you try it, it makes you wonder how you lived without it. Brilliant, and incredibly useful. There's nothing else like it.  
(Version 2.8.3b9)

KINGADROCK  I've tried most of the invoicing applications for the Mac. I've owned plenty too: iWork (iBiz), Studiometry, and iRatchet. I found iBiz to be buggy; Studiometry was convoluted and confusing; iRatchet was very promising but lacked proper reporting functions.

When I found Billings (2.0) I was immediately impressed. It's the cleanest and most intuitive invoicing application on the Mac. It made invoicing easy, but it was not without problems. I had no issues with bugs or memory leaks, but as others have said it was difficult to edit invoices. I struggled through that once and when they were to my liking I never dealt with them again.

Version 3 of Billings addresses the biggest problem I had with 2.0, it was not obvious to see who owed me money. Now that very critical information is right at my fingertips. The new reporting features are also improved, and I haven't messed with the new template system. The layout was great before, and they've tweaked it to be even better. Overall a very solid update.

Nobody likes to spend $35, but $35 to upgrade a program that helps me make money is well worth the price in my opinion.  
(Version 3.0.1)

KINGADROCK  Very nice layout. Clean design that looks great next to Apple's Weather Widget.

I wish it had the option to show two days of tides though. Perhaps arrows at the bottom to view the next and previous day's tide information.  
(Version 1.3)

KINGADROCK  This looks very cool. Well designed interface and useful features. However, I can't justify spending $20 on a RSS reader when NetNewsWire is available for free.  
(Version 1.0)

KINGADROCK  I maintain quite a few Macs for friends and family members and a common complaint about Leopard is that the new Application Indictor is difficult to see. SuperDocker allows me to quickly and easily change the Indicator, as well as a plethora of other options with the press of a button. Very nice!  
(Version 2.2)

KINGADROCK  Very nice application and responsive developer.

I don't use this personally, but my Father-In-Law is a Captain on a 1600 Ton ship and uses WindBuoy to supplement his navigation equipment. He keeps a WindBuoy widget open for every buoy he will pass on his route to quickly review conditions. Very handy.  
(Version 0.99b)

KINGADROCK  That's defeating the purpose of Camino. Camino is lean and fast, incorporating the features of FireFox would slow it down and bloat it up.

If you want the functions of Firefox, just use Firefox.  
(Version 1.6.1)

KINGADROCK  They tried to get way too clever with the interface. It's not intuitive at all, I've messed with this thing 10 minutes and I still can't figure out how to add favorites.

I want this application to listen to Sirius Radio, not be dazzled by how it looks like a 3rd rate MP3 Player.  
(Version 2.2)

KINGADROCK  I find Camino to be the very best of the browsers currently available on the Mac for regular users. It's lean, it's clean, it's fast, and it renders nearly all web pages flawlessly.

If you're looking for add-ons and don't mind a sub-par interface go with FireFox. If you're looking for the all the bells and whistles and a Mac-centric interface go with OmniWeb (at a price.) But if you're an average user who just wants a free, very fast, Mac-friendly browser nothing beats Camino.  
(Version 1.6)

KINGADROCK  Synergy used to be the best iTunes controller available. I'm a registered user and have used it for years. Synergy has really taken a turn for the worse. It's not launching properly, it crashes, and it's slow to respond. I got so frustrated that I switched to a competing product. I'll keep an eye on Synergy with hopes it returns to the quality app I once knew.  
(Version 3.5a6)

KINGADROCK  Since it was the MacUpdate Promo today, I downloaded and tried the latest version of Clean Text.

I gave it a fairly thorough run through and found nearly no changes to the version I currently own and use (3.4.1).

I agree with you, I don't know what the heck this company has been doing with their products other than raising their prices.

No thanks.  
(Version 5.0)

KINGADROCK  I'm having the same issues here. Won't launch, won't control.

I understand the movement away from a preference pane. Please give us the ability to hide the application icon though.

Synergy was once the undisputed King of iTunes controllers. Now it's hardly a contender.

I've switched to SizzlingKeys. Nice app, and it works too.  
(Version 3.5a5)

KINGADROCK  Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but functionality applies to everyone. There are Apple User Interface Guidelines for a reason. As the developer, it's your right to ignore the tried and true methods recommended by Apple and incorporate your own non-traditional approach. To each his own, but I think you'd really benefit from a better GUI.  
(Version 1.0b15)

KINGADROCK  I think by "clunky" he means it's ugly, needlessly confusing, and non-traditional in appearance. It runs just fine but the interface really could use a makeover.  
(Version 1.0b15)

KINGADROCK  I already own SpamSieve. I can't imagine anything working better than that. I get about a thousand spam messages a day and SpamSieve catches 99% of it.

Competition is good though. I hope Personal AntiSpam catches on. It's just not for me.  
(Version 10.4.3)

KINGADROCK  There have been few advances to the wheel over the last several thousand years. It's still pretty useful though isn't it?  
(Version 3.2)

KINGADROCK  I tend to feel RSS feeds have always belonged in NetNewsWire Lite.  
(Version 1.5.2)

KINGADROCK  Useful tool, amazing icon, hilarious name, intuitive interface, great price. How have I not heard of this before? Thanks MacUpdate!  
(Version 1.0)

KINGADROCK  Over-priced and ugly. One license should cover multiple computers. What's with this horrible trend of developers using wood in their GUI? Yuck!  
(Version 1.0.3)

KINGADROCK  Doesn't Quick Look and Get info in Leopard do all this and more?  
(Version 2.6.2)

KINGADROCK  Fun! I didn't even realize there was a new Monopoly for Mac OS X. Thank you MacUpdate for once again bringing a new and interesting application to my attention.  
(Version 1.0)

KINGADROCK  So it should be called Jolly'sFastVNC.  
(Version 0.94b)

KINGADROCK  Aren't these sort of Safari add-ons disabled in Leopard?  
(Version 1.9.1)

KINGADROCK  A little time spent configuring Hazel saves you a lot of time in the long run. Very useful utility.  
(Version 2.0.2)

KINGADROCK  I'd love to try this but am totally put off by this application needing a pkg installer.  
(Version 1.1.3)

KINGADROCK  I tried this out briefly the other day. It was nice but the $20 price tag put me off a bit. This MUPromo price of $10 is perfect.  
(Version 1.1)

KINGADROCK  Looks interesting and potentially useful. The application is only in French though.

Also, it looks like a very suspicious method of registration. Call a toll line to register? Odd.  
(Version 1.0)

KINGADROCK  I never thought I'd consider spending $12 on solitaire, but this looks like a quality game with nice graphics. I'm downloading the demo.  
(Version 3.5.1)

KINGADROCK  Thanks MU Promo for featuring this game. I've never seen this version of Mah Jong before. It's beautiful and well done. Well worth the price.  
(Version 2.21)

KINGADROCK  Useless fun!

Thanks.  
(Version 3.7)

KINGADROCK  A unique, and invaluable tool.  
(Version 4.8.2)

KINGADROCK  Looks great. Very original idea. Excellent icon. If you're a teacher, student, or have kids, this is for you.  
(Version 1.0.1)

KINGADROCK  Looks nice and has good reviews but I can't access the developer's site for more information. Does anyone know if this shows thumbnails images archived on disc?  
(Version 3.7.1)

KINGADROCK  PathFinder is great. I'm curious to see what Leopard has to offer in the way of improving on the tired old Finder.  
(Version 4.7.2)

KINGADROCK  Looks fun! Downloading the demo now and will consider this Promo!  
(Version 2.62)

KINGADROCK  Try emailing the developer a question and see for yourself if he's rude or immature.

In my experience he has been by far one of the easiest, most helpful developers I've EVER dealt with.  
(Version 1.7.1)

KINGADROCK  Looks cool. Downloading now...  
(Version 1.5)

KINGADROCK  Interesting application. Lots of nice twists on the pop up folder concept.  
(Version 2.0)

KINGADROCK  Beautiful. Not much else to say.

I wish Apple would stop making every app look different and adopt UNO as the defacto appearance in OS X.  
(Version 1.5)

KINGADROCK  I have to agree with you. The application itself is great. I've been a registered user for quite some time. $24.95 is way too much money for this kind of app though. Should be priced at $15 max.  
(Version 5.0)

KINGADROCK  Again, Pando does not do the same thing as FileChute. That's like saying a bike and a car do the same thing because they both are modes of transportation.

FileChute allows access to private networks that the user has control over. Because the user has control, it makes FileChute infinetly more valuable. It can be used as a tool for web developers, a secure quick drop box for Intranets, a collaboration tool for business.

As for the security issue... anytime you store files on someone elses network there is a security concern. Maybe it's fine for your family pictures but in no way is Pando an acceptable solution for business where it's common to send prospectus or other confidential information.  
(Version 2.5.8)

KINGADROCK  Pando does not do the same thing. FileChute allows access to a variety of server types, FTP, WebDAV and DotMac. Pando allows you to upload files to Pando's server.

I know my server is secure. There's no way I would upload certain work related files to an open community site like Pando.

FileChute is a great tool if you need quick and easy access to a web server for file sharing, website updating, uploading proofs, etc.  
(Version 2.5.8)
