Wow, this version 5.3.2 (Leopard) as downloaded from Software Update killed my ability to see my three Airports, although Safari and Mail work fine. When I open Airport Utility it scans for ages and reports that no Airports are available.

Well, I liked this app and I even purchased it many months ago. Unfortunately, I lost my license file in the midst of moving into a new computer. I've been emailing the developer for several months now trying to get another copy of my license, with no response ever. What a jerk. There's nothing worse than software with no support whatsoever.

This is really slick (truly Mac-like), and surprisingly easy to use. The setup is so so so easy that I thought something was missing at first. I love this one. The price is not bad if you look at the competition, which sometimes involves annual fees.

Me too, I'm coming back to iGetter due to the super-sleazy behavior by the Speed Download people. I refuse to continue support for a company like that. iGetter is polished, Mac-like and nice to use, I don't know why I ever stopped using it... .

The name lacks creativity, like you said, and the cop image that loads with the files is frightening, but the app actually works well, and isn't ugly, although it's not a very Mac like UI.

If this company wants to appeal to Apple users I think they'll need to add the sophisticated, open-minded and creative aspect that many Apple users demand. And you're right, the "macho" image especially won't appeal to the large population of female Apple users. And most men will find it a bit stupid.

I changed the name and some graphics on my personal copy, now it looks less embarrassing.

As for the app itself, I would like to see some keyboard shortcuts and an "Open Recent" menu item.

After buying the Pro version and trying a few mailings, I am very impressed. It's now so easy and so fun to make a great quality mailing with reliable tracking information, I just can't wait to make my next one. I bought a 7,000 (well, 4,000 have emails) name list from FreshLists, which you can export from their FileMaker self-running database, and import into Address Book or directly into Direct Mail in less than 30 seconds. And I don't work for Direct Mail, I'm just very impressed by their life-changing product. The price might seem a bit high at first, but after you try it the cost seems well worth it.

Looks pretty, but it's funny: the first WARNING I received while running it was for something called "Avast!.app"!!! So far it's only about 1/3rd of the way through its ritual, and so far that's the only warning... .

Hope that's not a bad sign; it would be nice to find a good app like this since at some point in the future we'll need this...

Makes a great and simple quick-access utility for keeping items available that you need to use soon. I own Yojimbo, too, which I love, but is so packed with things and features for long-term keeping that it doesn't have the same uses. I really like this one and look forward to seeing where it goes.

Nice looking app. I like the way it categories contexts and due dates, and has a different approach to categorizing than the other gtd apps.

A few things I'd like to see changed:

If you view by context and all projects are selected on the left, you can't tell what project the action is associated with; for instance, I always have several ongoing photo jobs, and the first action after a shoot is to correct files. So, if don't write the client name in every action, I can't tell which client the action is associated with, so I don't know which job it is I'll be working on.

Wish there was an ability to link associated apps, files, and/or folders to the note column. For some reason few developers implement this feature.

Also, wish there was an archiving folder or feature to stash and save finished actions, and the ability to "disappear" them from due date lists.

I'm currently using EasyTask, which isn't great, but I love the ability to drag actions to new due dates and have them change dates automagically; that way I can drag all the actions I haven't finished at the end of a day to the next day without going through every single item. Of course, ET uses an action date and a due date, but it might be cleaner and simpler to only have a due date for each item like What ToDo has now.

I tried dragging items in the due date view, but it didn't seem to work. I wish the due dates didn't require a time-entry to be appled, enabling the possibility of an "all day" type of list when you select the due date view.

The bold headings, and the spacing, in the context views and due date views are extremely attractive; I wish the project view showed the top item in the same way.

I like the way you can drag and drop the actions and projects; that seems like an easy way to set priorities since there's no priority or color-labeling system.

This could easily evolve to one of the best gtd apps.

Don’t miss this great deal on Mori, easily some the most ingenious and useful software ever made for Mac computers. Continual upgrades at users requests, and top-notch support help make this app hot. I paid the full price a few months ago, and Mori has since become my most used 3rd party app. If you try it, I’ll bet you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this one.

Works great with lists such as rss feeds to MacUpdate, CraigsList, etc. A bit annoying and large when you don't need it and it keeps appearing (I think there's an option to disable it, though, just haven't used it yet).

I'm downloading this version in hopes of restoring my folders to their default icons. The last version Wouldn't let me restore no matter what tried, and I deleted every pref file, etc. associated. I even deleted the Apple prefs trying to restore.

Until this one wroks correctly, I'll stick with Folder Brander, which works great.

Well worth the money. This is professional grade noise reduction at its best. The amount of detail resolved with high levels of noise reduction is impressive. You can set your camera to high iso's like 1600 and still have usable images. Pro-level noise reduction costs money; for instance NoiseNinja costs about the same, and gives great results, but I personally find this one easier to use. Actually, each noise reducer has its own personality, and I have found that some images benefit from one over the other, but overall this is the one I use the most. There is other noise software on the market that costs far more than this, so this is not overpriced in comparison; the noise reduction in Aperture is bottom-of-the-barrel, and it costs $500. Free or cheap noise converters work to some extent, but lack the polish and features of the professional converters, and the ability to resolve detail in a faithful way. I highly recommend this one as a great choice for pros.

This new beta 3 is far more stable than the last two betas, and iCal Syncing now functions without deleting all your calendars. It even seems to play nicely by relaying ToDos to iCal and then to High Priority in the menu-bar. Most of the other bugs I had noticed are absent in this new version. I love the UI, the linking, the SmartFolders, and the iCal syncing. A very useful and very Mac-like app that's fun to use (and you don't have to worry about unintentionally erasing calendars anymore).

I've managed to pull better looking and more detailed images than I have from any other Raw converter, and I've tried them all. I've done side-by-side comparisons with ACR, and I can't tell you how much better Raw Developer files look, the difference is astonishing.

I've tried many database applications over the years, but this is the first that really works the way that I want; it's clean and intuitive ui make it a pleasure to work with. It's not a "design" type layout program like FileMaker, but is a more functional database with just enough extras like making a photo catalog with slide shows, etc. The easy-to-set-up calculator functions are a great asset, too; you can make quick and easy forms for business, taxes, etc. that seem to work flawlessly. Also, when I had a display problem, the developer was quick and responsive in helping me troubleshoot the problem. This is easily the ideal database app that I've been looking for, something that works well and is highly useful/flexible, but easy to use for someone who doesn't want to spend their life trying to set it up and learn to use it.
