NICKJ AirRadar is an excellent piece of software, and it deserves a review that reflects your opinion of it *as a piece of software*. A few points in defense of the good people at Koingo, who develop another app that I've come to love and depend on, MacPilot: 1) If you were *so* annoyed by the switch to $10 shareware, the program must have been useful to you and had value, otherwise you wouldn't care. 2) If you were *so* annoyed by the switch to $10 shareware, you obviously had no intention of paying for it, so why should anyone else care what your opinion is? You're just irritated that you're not getting it for free, so your evaluation of the software is negatively skewed. 3) What you are personally willing to pay for the program is irrelevant. You don't get to choose the amount. Koingo does. Pay it or don't pay it. And keep in mind, most people will drop $10 at McDonald's in a heart beat, but for some reason they don't see the value in a utility that they can use for years. 4) Bundles have impacted peoples' perceptions of what the value of software is. It is a shame that even a very modest regular price is considered "too high". 5) It's unfortunate that any 14 year old with a macbook their daddy bought them can come on here and post negative reviews of a great piece of software just because they were temporarily inconvenienced and now they have to steal the software they weren't going to buy in the first place. The ratings and comment system needs to be revised somehow to protect hard working developers from idiots swinging wild on review boards. (Version 1.1.7) |
