I don't understand what AIR is for, especially since Flex is out. You already have Flex, Flash, Widgets and Gadgets. They all can do similar things. And Flash content can be integrated into Widgets and Gadgets. And on top of that, now you have another app to download and install rather than just a widget or gadget, which is integrated into the operating system of either Windows or Mac OS. This seems like a complete waste of time or resources. Either that, or Adobe should be combining Flex with this? But it seems like they do pretty similar things already. |

I just checked out Fracture. I guess to each his own, cuz the images I see still look incredibly boring and devoid of human emotion to me. Also, the screensaver appears in blocks rather than being drawn in real time on screen or being animated. Really makes it seem cold and lifeless. |

fractal images within nature are beautiful to observe. snowflakes, leaf patterns, cloud formations, even mountain ranges. but mathematically-generated fractals offer about as much beauty to look at as a pontiac aztec. |

i have never understood the fascination with fractal images. they don't create anything beautiful to look at and nothing you would ever want to use in artwork or advertising or video games. what is the point of them? |

I don't know where you are getting that the iPhone has been in the market for a year? It's only been like 200 days since its release. Apple released the iPhone, then 2 months later lowered the price. It's the exact same business practice. Every company does it. Not just software companies. |

I don't understand software like this. What is the point of finding and deleting invisible files such as DS Store or preferences or whatever, when the next time you open a Finder window or the app that created them it will create new ones automatically. Then you have to go through and keep deleting them over and over? If you are looking for files over a certain size you can use the Finder or SPotlight to find them. Just seems like pointless software to me. |

iSnip has not been updated in about 2 1/2 years. And does not support Intel Macs. This is better just because of that. |

Well, duh! But what is NTLM? What does it stand for? Why do you need to connect to it from a Mac? What does it need authentication? None of this is explained here or on your website. You won't sell any software if someone doesn't know what it does. Just a little marketing tip for you. |

Have you people argueing for Studiometry even tried PRINTING an invoice?? It will only print low-res graphics of a logo. I've tried 300dpi tif and png files and it always prints a low-res 72dpi verion of it. That is not something I want to give to a client. Especially being a graphic designer. The only way to get a good print out is using the xml tags in another program like Illustrator or InDesign. A complete waste of time. Because I could do that without buying Studiometry. |

jonlink is pretty much dead on about the invoicing. I wrote in an earlier post that I had an easier time creating an entire database in FileMaker Pro to do my invoicing than I did trying to edit the so-called WYSIWYG templates. If you want to customize them at all you need to know xml. And even then, they DO NOT turn out just like you want them to. I played around with the demo enough to know that I don't want to spend hours and hours learning xml and editing templates in a program that is "supposed" to increase my productivity. |

I visited the author's site because I was interested after seeing this on macupdate. I can sympathize wiht his position about not wanting to release an Intel version and all that. But, I have to say that if you really want to make money producing software, you have to spend money. Just like producing anything else. I've never even heard of this program before seeing it on here today. You need to advertise it. And if you don't update your software for the latest technologies, who is going to want to buy it? There is a chance that Rosetta apps will not be supported at all in future versions of OS X. Maybe the distanct future, but still. It has been stated that Thoth 2 will never be released. Then how can you expect people to want to pay for this version? That aside, it seems like a friendly program. |

This is probably the best shareware app for Mac. I've been using it since version 2 and find it indespensible. James Thomson is also probably one of the best shareware programmers around and this update to DragThing is AWESOME! Thanks for such great work! |

It would help us to understand if you DESCRIBE what you mean by "worst download experience." Downloading implies that you had trouble downloading the software, not using it. So I don't get it. |

I'm curious about software updates... it seems that similar apps get updated around the same time for some reason. For example, PTHPastboard was just updated yesterday. Then, today, this app has an update. And I've seen this happen more than a hundred times on MacUpdate with similar apps. Do the developers of these apps check MacUpdate and if their competitor releases an update they immediately scramble to get their own software updated? Just wondering. It happens all too often to really seem like a coincidence. |

It's great that there is an alternative to Excel, however, from the website... "( We don't guarantee complete Excel compatibility)". In order to compete with Excel on any platform, a product absolutely MUST have complete compatibility with it. |

So, let me get this straight... Oranged Software is basically a shareware sfotware company, like it or not. You are not Adobe. You only make one software application. You are charging $170 for this software. That is fine, it may be worth it to some people. Though, as far as I can tell, you have not improved the invoicing features to make them easier to use. However, you are now CHARGING for paid tech support options? This is crazy. By all the flak you have received on this site alone for your support, you should realize that this isn't a good idea. Plus, the support options are EXPENSIVE! A single incident is $30. Give me a break. I recommend people interested in this software take a serious look at Filemaker Pro. You would be better off investing your money and time on software that has multiple uses such as Filemaker than a one trick pony like Studiometry. |

This a very good software. However, after reviewing the demo I was unable to get the invoicing to work properly and it was very difficult to firgure out. I ended up creating my own solution in FileMaker. Which goes to show that if I can do that and not be able to figure out the invoicing, there is something that needs to be remedied in the software's usability. The rest of the program is very good and has many features that others don't. |

Yes, but $60 to do that? That's a bit steep, don't you think? You can make groups in other font management software and activate more than one font with one click. What makes this one better? Also, what does "Sort the doubled font" mean? |

I think this is a nice little app, but it needs a few improvements. Right now there isn't a separate field to enter a check number or transaction number. You have to enter it in the description field. Also, it would be nice to have the entire file password protected rather than the individual accounts. It's kind of annoying when you already have the program open that you have to enter a password just to switch between the accounts. |

The whole reason I started using iView in the first place was better bang for the buck. This is no longer true with this version 3 release. I does not incorporate MANY of the feature requests by users (including me) from their user forums. Download the trial and then browse the user forums and see how many requests were left out. It really disturbs me. And now they raised the price to $200. Why then should I want to use this over the mor powerful Portfolio 8 that was just released for the same price? It saddens me because this was a little gem of a program (and version 2.x still is). Unfortunately the developers are not listening to their user base. |

Well, I have been looking into different money tracking software. While this program has a lot of features, it is missing something EXTREMELY important. There is no Edit menu. Or at least not on my computer (Mac OS X 10.4.3). That means, no Copy, no Paste, and NO UNDO!!!! This is unheard of on the Mac platform and makes this software literally completely useless. What if you accidentally delete something? Gone forever? You would do just as well use a pen and paper. At least then you can't delete anything by accident. Therefore ease of use gets 1 star. |
