MUSUBANA This application is a real time saver! Thank you developer, that you did not make it a menubar app! The counter should always be visible; that’s one of the ideas behind the Pomodoro technique (do google it!) A lot of programs hide the menubar, but Focus Booster is still there… When you need to see the whole screen, e.g. when you’re working on graphics, it should be possible to temporarily hide the FB window with a key combo. (Only while the keys are being pressed…) And how about making it transparent on mouseover? (Version 1.1) | |

Cysgliad | May 7 2008 |
MUSUBANA I should have bestowed only 4 stars upon Cysgliad – the joy of discovering a Welsh language app made me disregard the program’s weaknesses: *In the dictionary, you have to type the words in full, ”pl”+enter will just lead you to a ”nothing found”. Had Cysgeir implemented a search-as-you-type function (like Apple’s Dictionary), typing ”pl” would have revealed _pla_ ”plague” immediately. *The dictionary neither shows mutated nor plural forms of nouns. This is a severe drawback, especially if the dictionary is to be used by non-Welsh speakers. (Verbal/prepositional paradigms for each looked-up verb/preposition would also be v. nice, but that is perhaps to much to ask?) Otherwise, the positive comments of my first review prevail! :-) (Version 1.0b) | |

MUSUBANA Cysgliad is actually a bundle of two independent applications: *Cysgeir, which is a searchable Welsh/English (bidirectional) dictionary *Cysill, a Welsh spell checker I do not write (coherent) Welsh, so I cannot comment on the usefulness/reliability of Cysill – I misspelt a couple of Welsh words in the text field, and it seems to work like any other decent spell checker. Cysgeir is a unique collection of 12 digitalized dictionaries. Most modern-day Welsh and/or English words can be found, from spheres as various as archaeology and child care. This is one of the best free offline dictionary applications I’ve seen; a joy for any lover of the Welsh language, and a useful tool (I guess) for those who have to switch between English and Welsh in their everyday lives. A culturally important language like Welsh deserves our respect and attention. I wish to congratulate the developers, and hope that other minority languages will soon receive a similar digital boost.

MUSUBANA Anyone thinking this is a vector drawing application like DrawBerry or Inkscape should be warned: It isn’t. It is a bitmap drawing app, which nonetheless has the option to use a vector line as an on-screen delimiter of an actual pixel figure. (It is like creating a [physical world] tile mosaic within the wavy bonds of an encircling rope.) Nonetheless, the lite version is a decent (bitmap) drawing application. It relies heavily on an insert menu, from which different shapes can be selected – a kind of ”collage wizard”. This makes it easy to use for the newcomer, but more ”bossy” and less flexible to those accustomed to SeaShore, PhotoShop, etc. That being said, DrawIt Lite has some strength in creating custom bitmap shapes. I think I’ll keep it, and use it to create stars and the like, which can then be easily copy-pasted into SeaShore or a text document. (Version 1.0.1) | |

MUSUBANA This isn’t a vector app in the proper sense. Therefore, it cannot possibly export as .svg. When you choose ”insert vector”, it just uses a vector line to delimit a bitmap figure. Try increasing the zoom level, and you’ll see all the clumsy pixels… (Version 1.0.1) | |

I can understand where you anger is coming from. Tiger is a very solid operating system and I realize that not everybody wants to upgrade to Leopard. I originally started developing MindNode as a little application for myself to learn Objective C 2.0 and play around with Core Animation. But the project grew and I saw that my approach to mindmapping was something also other people enjoyed. I thought a lot about making the application work on Tiger, but removing all the ObjC 2.0 code and making the application work in non-garbage-collected mode would have required a lot of time and I preferred to spend this time tweaking the application. I think the Screenshots don't show the real strength of the application: the interaction and the process of creating a mind map with it. This is really were it shines and achieving the same level of polish would have required considerable more time on Leopard. My answer is probably not what you wanted to hear, but please feel free to drop me an email or contact me on iChat/Skype (The nicks are available on my website). | |

MARKUSM I think you will be fine using Tiger till Apple ships 10.6. Apple always tries to target the previous and the current releases of its operating system for its major consumer applications. Other developers normally try to do the same. Leopard really changed a lot for developers. ObjC 2.0, Garbage Collection, Core Animation, many new default user interface elements, a set of standard icons are only a few things that make life as a developer a lot easier. Especially as a small developer it's really hard to resists. I understand that by focusing on Leopard I decrease my target audience by quite a bit, but on the other side it helps me to be more productive and focus on improving my "product".

Pinyin Dictionary | Nov 27 2007 |
I do not know a word of Chinese, but finally I can add sound to all those ”mute” internet adds… (_) Unless you have a CJK keyboard/typing device it is a bit hard to use, though. I picked random signs from the System’s floating Unicode palette (click the flag on your menubar), and discovered that Pinyin Dictionary only covers the mere basics. If you input some sign from the extended sign blocks, like "CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-20021" (𠀡), the program yields nothing. I guess actual readers and learners of Chinese script will give this app their thumbs up. Let’s wait and see… (A final wish: Why not include IPA transscription as well? That would be a perfect way to learn Mandarin. [I assume the program gives the Mandarin pronunciation of the signs, though it does not explicitly says so – which it definitely should!]) (Version 2.0) | |

CHIN @MUSUBANA, as you own a Mac, you do not need a CJK input device. Your keyboard will do as well. Simply activate the ITABC Input Method in the System Settings, Localisation or Country Settings (I do not know exactly the wording as I am using german localisation). If you enable to show the keyboad menu within the menu bar, you may select the chinese flag and then you can simply input the romanized form that program produce (but without the accents) and you get a selection of all those chinese characters that will match the sound you wrote. Select the one you mean and you are set. :-) For instance: typing hanyu will produce 汉语 following that method. Is the Mac not a nice toy? :-) (Version 2.1) | |

ImageSorter | Nov 20 2007 |
MUSUBANA A good idea with a long way to go before perfection is achieved. First of all, hierarchical browsing through all the folders on one’s computer in order to find image folders is very clumsy and un-mac-ish. Other apps have niceties like ”add folder” buttons and drang-and-drop. (Perhaps even a ”Scan harddisc for image files” menu could be useful.) Secondly, most people do not remember pictures by colours, but rather by things like, I guess, buildings, who were on that particular photo, was it a group portrait or a depiction of a landscape etc. I recognize that a program that can analyze the facial traits of photographed persons and group shots of similar individuals together may be a bit out of scope here, but at least it ought to be possible to do shape-based sortings like: *images with predominant vertical/horizontal elements *images with one central dark element *images with several scattered dark elements etc. But keep up the good work and this may some day revolutionize the way we sort images!

MUSUBANA This app should be universal, but works quite OK with Rosetta on Intel macs. This is a VERY basic drum machine, where you highlight the beats on a single line. When playing, a ”loading bar” roams across the screen. It looks lousy. (But hey, it’s the sound that matters, right?) when you switch instrument, there is NO WAY to see which beats are being played by other instruments. The beat line simply becomes unmarked again. If you for example want two instruments to play at the same beat, you have to guess where that beat is – or use your ear really good. This could have been acceptable in a PC program, but on a Mac I’d expect something graphically more advanced. Sorry. Try MrDrum or Breakage, they’re free too. (Version 1.1) | |

I've seen a TR 606 in action, and they switch instrument in almost the same way as Drumatix, difference being that you twist knobs on a 606. The whole point is that it's a very basic drum machine like the TR series that Roland produced :) And I will agree with you, the graphics really are pants...

It is also nice that you have the possibility to doodle on your sheets, and to bring a note to the front of your screen at a specific time (the alarm function). On the other hand, the SketchBox notes are ugly (neon rather than pastel colours; small flags extending from the left side of the note, even when another app is active) and lack the simplicity of Apple’s Stickies. In the physical world I prefer the pale yellow quadratic PostIt notes to those in heart-shaped ones in screaming orange etc. Thus I stick to Stickies. (Version 1.1) | |

I’d love to be able to create a reminder note that appeared each time my cursor hovered above the HD icon… But no. This program is just another ”Stickies” program. And the BAD thing is that the ”Sheets” (= stickies with one pointing corner) just vanish when you quit the main window. Even when you keep the program running in the background, close a sheet and reopen it, the program seems to have trouble to remember the original position of your reopened sheet. This program adds no functionality that you can’t get with Apple’s stickies or alternatives such as ”SideNote”. Don’t waste your time. (Version 1.0) | |

It's a simple paint app, not a photo editor. And it's not even version 1.0 yet. And it's free. Give the developer a break. (Version 0.8) | |

MUSUBANA This program has improved a lot (incl. a lasso tool!), so I will modify my original harsh review a bit. However, I do think that the app was launched to the public too early. (Version 0.8) | |

STRIDER72 It's pretty standard that any time you see a pre-1.0 version, it's a pre-release version -- essentially a beta version. Wait for version 1.0 before judging it on completeness of features. It _was_ released to the public early, and knowingly so, in order to get feedback on the parts that are done. (Version 1.1) | |

Widget-to-Desktop | May 16 2007 |
MUSUBANA Widget-to-Desktop doesn’t cooperate very well with Virtual Dashboard (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22751/virtual-dashboard). When I switch from one dashboard to another, the W-t-D function vanishes, and I have to launch W-t-D again. Could you fix this somehow? (Version 3.1) | |

MUSUBANA Oh, there is a Launcher icon in the .dmg... Now everything works fine! (You just have to be aware that the package itself won't install the Launcher onto your harddrive...) (Version 0.2) | |

SuperTuxKart | Mar 13 2007 |
MUSUBANA The problem is that SuperTuxKart installs itself as an X11-only program; you have to type a code in the X11 terminal. Now, this code doesn't seem to work on my computer... And I have no idea how to find the SuperTuxKart files, so that I can remove those 30 MB; a search for "SuperTuxKart" yields no results... Until the developer includes an uninstaller, I will dissuade other users from downloading this "game". (Version 0.2) | |

MUSUBANA Using Dockless (which works fine on Intel macs, despite being a ppc app), I've been able to solve the problem. (Version 1.0) | |

MUSUBANA Hi, I really like this app. However, it should be possible to exclude items of your choice from the menu. Right now I'm using several "decoration" programs like MenuShade (search it here on MacUpdate), and it is really irritating that it appears as an icon whenever I start Think. :-/ (Version 1.0) | |
