This app is so much better than the sirius player it's not even close. I really appreciate the efforts of the developer on this one, it keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work and expect a donation from me.

the thing I like best about ableftp is the fact that it is impossible for me to even install it which in turn saves me a lot of time that I would have wasted evaluating it...

First of all I am in awe of anyone who can actually create an application of any type so any criticism by me is simply to be used constructively. I like simple, an FTP client should not be difficult to use by the average person. An application such as crushftp may have nice features but is very difficult to setup and get working.

This application is easy to setup but this one window GUI on some of the latest FTP clients drives me mad, Does anyone really like just the one window? Why would I want to open up my finder window and also open up Flow in order to transmit data to my server? Everyone I have talked to about this agrees that two windows, one for the data on your computer and one window for the server is the easiest to manipulate and understand.

Please consider a two window option as least. The speed seems comparable to most of the others on the Mac market. I have tested about 30 FTP clients between windows and mac in the last month and I am sticking for now with Transmit (solid) and Forklift (best GUI) for mac and CuteFTP (fast but ugly) and WS_FTP (the Transmit of the windows world) on windows.

For now I'm not sure that you should be charging for this application in it's current form when you have free apps like Cyberduck which perform as well. My advice would be to keep this in a free Beta mode until you reach a point where this app can separate itself from the pack. Once you can show the value of this product then the public will be more than happy to pay for this fine app.

Good luck and keep up the good work, but PLEASE give it a two window option...

I am no expert on FTP clients although I am now using them daily since I started building websites in my spare time. In the last month I have demoed around 30 different clients between Windows and Mac. Out of all of those there were only two applications that were too complicated for me to setup properly, SmartFTP on windows and CrushFTP on mac.

I won't hold my own inadequacies against the app but it needs to be made more simple for the average user to get it set up properly, it doesn't have to be hard. More and more people are starting to design their own websites now with the simple webdesign tools like iweb and rapidweaver so there is an increasing market for simple, quick FTP clients and for me anyway, CrushFTP is not one of them.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

I'm a very busy person so it takes a great app to make me take the time to write a review but this one did.

How refreshing it is actually find an app that not only does exactly what it says it does but for free?!

Why have Sirius radio, which i already do, when you can have 100's of stations at your fingertips at no cost.

I haven't figured out how to add new stations yet but their are so many that come with it already it's not that big a deal.

Look for a donation from me, good job FStream!

there is no tree or special login area in the bottom right hand corner. there is an option for "star desktop" i go to it and there are three options "sirius login" "star player" and "preferences"

i go to the login area and type in my login info which works on sirius player but it keeps telling me that the login info is incorrect and it is not incorrect. it always starts up like its going to login to some station but the throbber just keeps spinning and never does anything. very frustrating to say the least.

i have had a sirius account for a long time. i have a sirius player at my office that i own and one at my home. i recently downloaded the sirius for mac player on my mac and use it often. i liked the interface of this new app but i can't login. i have tried repeatedly but to no avail. the help function is of no use here. perhaps i am doing something wrong but it shouldn't be difficult for someone like myself with an MBA and business owner to login to an application.

Oliver,

I do appreciate your responses, this is all I have ever asked from KAGI, a response, I didnt want my money back, I just wanted my serial number for this upgrade. I would have gone back to 1.8 but I didnt know where to download it. And I wasnt sure if I had to delete 2.0 inorder to go back to it if i did find 1.8 somewhere. These were all questions that I wanted answered but found no source to do so within the time frame I had.

My problem is not with your software per se just the customer service, and I don't think loyal customjers should be charge for every minor upgrade. This is a minor upgrade and not a major one. I read the release notes and I don't see anything justifying the addtional $30 at this time, I would go ahead and pay it but I don't trust KAGI do get it done.

I own a commercial mortgage company and I know all about customer service and whta it takes to keep loyal customers once you attain them. People want someone to talk to when they have a major software problem or any problem really. Not a long menu of options that don't fit you or just a FAQ section because often peoples problems aren;t going to be frequently asked.

As I continue to cool off about this I will consider the upgrade but right now I'm still not leaning that way. I now have to call KAGI and see what this other charge is, good luck with all this. I will download the 1.8 version again and take it from there.

As far as people reading this I will leave it like this, I think fotomagico is a nice product which I believe is on its way to become better. My problem is with their customer service and their third party payment service. So if you need to make a nice slideshow I would give it a shot but beware, if the online transaction goes awry as mine did then you are pretty much out of luck.

I will consider revising my ratings depending on the outcome of my next encounter with KAGI.

first of all i dont use your software to make money. friends and family ask me to make movies for their special occasions which i do for free. in this case i missed my daughters birthday video deadline because of screwing around with KAGI.

after calls and emails to them i noticed today that the $30 charge was now gone despite no call back from them. i also notice another charge by them for $23.00 last month I was not aware of, I guess the calls will start all over again with them.

regardless if its KAGI that doesnt respond to its customers or not its still your fault since you have chosen to outsource your payment services with them. its not difficult to set up your own little payment collection service (paypal for instance) so then your reputation will not depend on a third party joke of a service like KAGI.

you know immediately when you are dealing with a questionable service like KAGI by how difficult they make it to actually ever talk to them. its impossible actually, just numerous voicemail options which lead to nothing but black holes. you never talk to anyone, that tells you all you need to know. they have never returned my calls or emails. i call them during business hours and the recording will just tell you to call back during business hours or you get the black hole voicemail again.

i dont go off half cocked and post like this unless i have a good reason. i signed up on here just to make this post, thats how strongly i feel about it. knowing that i missed my daughters special day because of some incompetent servicer still makes me livid. lastly, this so called upgrade is hardly worth $30. i always choose to buy software and not download hacked copies but maybe i ought to rethink my decision.

Ripped off by Boinx and Kagi. I bought the Fotomagico upgrade for $30 which was a rip off anyway but then I was billed by KAGI, their outsource provider for billing, and I have never received the serial for Fotomagico.

After repeated calls and emails NOONE has bothered to contact me. Im sick of being ripped off like this. This is some kind of scam, no one ever answers the phone at KAGI and I dont know how to contact Boinx directly as their website makes it impossible to do so, only FAQ's

Im thoughourly disgusted with this company, I have an unfinished project that is now overdue because my old version is gone now and only the new demo remains.
