Smart Scroll	Nov 9 2009	SKIKEL I've had no trouble at all with 10.6.1 but mine is broken with the new 6.2 update. Can't wait for the update as SmartScroll has become indispensable to me. (Version 3.3)		+4

TapTap	Sep 22 2009	SKIKEL Don't really think it's trying to compete with Quicksilver. Does just a few things, fairly well IMHO, without the (to me) rather steep QS learning curve. (Version 1.0)		0

Fiwi	Jul 15 2009	SKIKEL The author asked me to let readers know that he had responded to my inquiry. He did so in a expedient fashion. The point I made about the application being worth twice the asking price and my having upgraded, I thought represented by belief in the application, and the developer. My apologies for not having clarified your having responded quickly to my inquiry. I was actually more interested in spreading the word about a software I use, believe is well written, and worth more than every penny I have spent on licenses for it. Mea Culpa. I did pay the upgrade price. skikel (Version 2.0.7)		0

iTunesMenu	Jul 12 2009	SKIKEL For my "donation", the application works, well, and has functionality others in the category don't offer to my experience (streaming Internet radio playlist). Excellent support from the author as well. Free means free for the basics, donation for the advanced functionality. Pretty straight forward in my book. (Version 0.3)		0

Fiwi	Jul 12 2009	SKIKEL Great piece of niche software. Does one thing well. But.... This version 2.0.6 keeps asking me for a password and my version 1.9+ password which has worked to the latest release does not unlock the application. Emailed the author and await an explanation. Paid for another password anywho. Work a buck 99 as far as I'm concerned. (Version 2.0.6)		+1

MLEONTI WordPower replied to SKikel on the same day, July 12 2009:

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for supporting Fiwi.

By now you should have the right password for Fiwi 2.0 and later.

Unfortunately to transition from 1.9 to 2.0 we require an new licence.

The following features requested by some users were added:

Version 2.0, finished 16 June 2009 at 08:24 SNZT

Fiwi 2.0 works with other applications besides the Finder. Shift key down at startup toggles the format of the two windows from columns (side by side) to rows (one on top of the other ) New Fiwi set up allows for changing the format, setting up customised windows and toggling the use of other applications besides the Finder.

Here is WordPower Upgrade Policy:

WordPower makes upgrades free whenever possible and keeps the price at 99 cents US.

The version of Fiwi bought works forever on that Mac with that operating system.

At times Fiwi users ask us to add new features and WordPower implements them.

WordPower makes improvements available to all Fiwi users and asks them to share in the expenses with the purchase of a new licence at 99 cents US.

Upgrade if you think the new features will benefit you.

I hope this helps and thanks for your feedback.

Regards,

Mario Leonti

MLEONTI Dear skikel,

Thank you very much for your kind words, belief in and support for Fiwi.

We did not mean to suggest you did anything wrong, we just wanted to explain our upgrade policy.

iAlarm	Dec 29 2007	SKIKEL Version 1.x is a great product. Period. Nothing wrong with version 2.x, I just don't need to spend another full registration fee 30 days after purchasing version 1.x. [Amended comment at the request of the developer.] (Version 2.01)		0

iAlarm	Dec 24 2007	SKIKEL Love the program 1.X version. Purchased license Dec 3, 2007. Now costs full price for upgrade for 2.X update. Sorry, don't like it that much. (Version 2.01)		0
