TIM27  $220 now!!? The price keeps going up it seems. Better off supporting an online solution like Basecamp.  
(Version 6.1.9)

TIM27  It might not be the software either = could be your Airport card?  
(Version 5.4.2)

TIM27  Are you serious with submitting this to MacUpdate? PPC only and an interface that looks like a 1995 Windows program?  
(Version 5.4.2377)

TIM27  While I do feel this is a very nice app and is great in terms of stability and Mac feel, I think it could improve in the way it works. I find the whole "bucket system" inherently flawed.

In this system (which at first is hard to get used to if you've never worked this way before) you place the amounts of money that would LIKE or HOPE to spend (or not spend over this amount) within buckets in MoneyWell. The idea is nice, but quickly falls apart when you realize that there are things that always pop up unexpectedly that you can't account for and even money that you've set aside for something else has to be moved and switched around in a whole bunch of different buckets that you have set up to make your budget work.

The idea of saying, "yeah I'm only going to spend this much" is great, but it's just not reality. Bills change every month, especially gas and electric and auto fuel and there's no way of telling how much you're going to have to spend on it from one month to the next if costs change.

It is much more valuable to know what you have SPENT instead of what you HOPE to spend, which might be a better way to use the buckets, IMO. In MoneyWell all of this allocation of monies must be done manually and gets very tedious after doing it several times.

I have been using Moneydance for several years now and I find it still has better features and is easier to use than this. In particular with investment and loan accounts. Since MoneyWell is more of a budgeting app, it doesn't really handle these accounts very well.

It is still a very nice app, though, and I give it a 4 overall.  
(Version 1.4.8)

TIM27  This this crashes... A LOT!

Sometimes it will freeze the webcam, other times get the spinning beach ball after closing a window. Other times just unexpectedly quits.

They should hire an actual Mac programmer over there.  
(Version 1.8)

TIM27  Download size should be 160MB, not 160K.  
(Version 3.0)

TIM27  I think a better description of this program would be helpful. I am not going to download it when I don't even understand what it will do.

Your screenshot also tells me nothing. Does this just generate random text? Does it generate actual words. Why would it need a search box?

More info please. You website is also not helpful at all in describing this in more detail.  
(Version 3.0)

TIM27  The problem with Apple's Fontbook is that it doesn't let you keep fonts where you want to keep them. Apple seems to take this approach with iPhoto and other iapps as well.

Designers want to keep fonts organized and where they want them. Especially with thousands of them.

Apple's auto-activation aslo doesn't work in Adobe's apps. You have to quit out of the app and then open it again for the font to be active in that app.

That said, I have not used Fontcase because I am happy with FontExplorer X, so I cannot comment on it's performance. If it is using the same organization methods as Fontbook, then I would not even bother using it.  
(Version 1.1)

TIM27  Looks like it's gone from $35 to $40. Good luck again! Even if you have huge numbers of friends, after trying this out, I've concluded that it isn't going to save you that much time compared to doing it on the site itself - for free.  
(Version 2.0.21)

TIM27  The name of this makes it seem as if it is for QuarkXPress 6.0, not version 6 for QuarkXPress 8.0  
(Version 6.0)

TIM27  Are you freakin' kidding me?!? Since when do lazy humans need to be told to take a break?  
(Version 4.8.8)

TIM27  Not much has been done with this lately. I still think it's a good app, but I still think it needs to be able to add our own custom statuses to it. Rather than just having high, medium and low priority.

For example: In Progress, Client Review, Completed, Ready to Bill, etc.  
(Version 2.6)

TIM27  I, too, think this app is the best on the Mac. I tried several others, including iBank, iCash, Money and Quicken, and Moneydance was the best. Stable with all the features I need and the price is right. Great work!  
(Version 2008r3)

TIM27  I agree. There are still plenty of bugs in CS3 that have not been fixed and yet they update the Updater as well as release a new CS4 suite while leaving those using CS3 in the dust with bugs that will never be fixed (ie, Illustrator's expanded stroke bug, etc).  
(Version 6.0.2)

TIM27  $20!!!!?  
(Version 1.5)

TIM27  a crime of rubbery?  
(Version 9.0.4)

TIM27  For the price of this software you could try Creative Manager Pro or even the free Creative Pro Office. They are both web based.  
(Version 6.0.4)

TIM27  I didn't call you a liar. And I did provide something useful. Use Camino. It's better than Navigator.

But you shouldn't call this an inexcusable software release when no one else has this problem but you, and you apparently use search every day very heavily. huh?  
(Version 3.1b1)

TIM27  Well, you must not rely on that search field that heavily if you were using it for several days and just now noticed that it doesn't work? It seems to work fine here. Perhaps you have an addon that is causing conflicts or something?

If you hate Firefox and Safari, I would suggest trying Camino, because Navigator is awful.  
(Version 3.1b1)

TIM27  how about giving us users an option for turning off the disconnect timer? or at least increasing the length of time before it disconnects?  
(Version 3.1.3)

TIM27  The icon in the Expander window looks like it's compressing, not expanding. The arrows are going the wrong way.  
(Version 13.0)

TIM27  this sounds way more complicated than just copying the address book data file from one computer to another. i guess it would be helpful if you were doing this to more than one other computer, but still...  
(Version 0.6)

TIM27  freakin' 10.6 will be out before this is updated for leapoard!  
(Version 2.5)

TIM27  i think there's only one guy programming over there. and that's not his day job.

i miss kaleidoscope.  
(Version 2.5)

TIM27  another thing to note is that the Log Drawer is still a drawer that slides up from the top or bottom of Cyberduck. This is not consistent with the OS either.  
(Version 3.0.2)

TIM27  This will be my final reply as well, but just had to say this based on your response...

"Because I just want a browser that just works, integrates with my Mac, has phone support, designed specifically for Mac's, updated along with the OS, and doesn't rely on 3rd parties whims, and tinkering to get desired features. Isn't that one of the reasons people buy Mac? I chose Mac to get things done without having to 'play around' with software to get it to work properly. "

You are saying this and then going off and buying PithHelmet, 3rd party software, and tinkering with it to get Safari to work the way you want it to work. You are contradicting yourself, but whatever.  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  JimW, none of the features you mentioned here are advertised on the MacUpdate page, so I don't know how you can think you'd be getting them for free if you don't even know what they are. All it says is that it meows.

And I don't know why you'd pay $10 for PithHelmet either when Firefox has add-ons that do the same things for free.  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  what do you mean, "to do anything useful with it..."? all it does is meow.  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  I should restate that it disconnects not because of problems with connections to servers. Those are solid. It disconnects because the program is coded to disconnect after a certain amount of time. It's very annoying.  
(Version 3.1b2)

TIM27  This program is awful compared to both Cyberduck and Rbrowser. It disconnects after about a minute and you have to reconnect all the time. Adding new hosts is unintuitive. Interface is terrible. AND it doesn't allow you to drag files from the desktop to upload/download. You have to drag them from one window pane to the other.

Overall = bad program. Good thing it's free.  
(Version 3.1b2)

TIM27  Both Mac OS and Safari are slower than 10.5.3. This is after repairing permissions, restarting, downloading and installing the 10.5.4 combo update, restarting, then repairing permissions again.  
(Version 10.5.4)

TIM27  is that showing an actual serial number?  
(Version 2.0.1447)

TIM27  Why would someone pay $20 for this when they can go to the website and do it for free?

Or use a web browser like Flock that integrates Flickr?  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  While a cool program, $400 seems pretty steep for something used for such a narrow purpose considering you can buy Illustrator for $500.  
(Version 1.7)

TIM27  >"... 3D professional (of which very few actually exist)..."

Huh?  
(Version 6.2)

TIM27  Not sure what the point of this is when spell checking is built into the OS?  
(Version 3.0)

TIM27  I too miss the drawer. If the developer was going for consistency with Leopard, then he should have made the drawer integrated like iTunes, Mail, or the Leopard Finder sidebar. Not remove it altogether.

Oh well, still a great piece of software.  
(Version 3.0)

TIM27  This app quits on launch on a G3 iBook running 10.4.9.

Couldn't find email address for the author.  
(Version 0.3.4)

TIM27  looks a lot like filezilla  
(Version 1.40)

TIM27  drawing of fractals needs to be animated  
(Version 1.4)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 1.0)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 2.0.5)

TIM27  i believe the Maya calendar ends in 2012 with the end of the world. I just saw something on the History Channel about it.  
(Version 2.0.3)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 2.0.4)

TIM27  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?  
(Version 2.0.4)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 5.0p1)

TIM27  you mean just like apple with the iphone??  
(Version 5.0p1)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 4.1.1)

TIM27  iSnip has not been updated in about 2 1/2 years. And does not support Intel Macs.

This is better just because of that.  
(Version 2.2)

TIM27  >how do you expect the developers to know about them?

You would think developers would test something enough to see if scroll bars were working properly.  
(Version 1.5.3)

TIM27  and still the invoicing is awful is try to use.  
(Version 5.0.4)

TIM27  This is awesome! I hope the developer will add multi-monitor support.  
(Version 1.1)

TIM27  good app. any chance of adding our own custom statuses to it? rather than just having high, medium and low priority.  
(Version 2.5)

TIM27  It's been a year and this is still in beta??? Come on guys!  
(Version 3.3b10)

TIM27  Camino is waaay faster than this thing!  
(Version 1.1.3)

TIM27  kind of expensive for what it does IMO.  
(Version 2.5)

TIM27  well, that's super, but then why did you even mention anything about automatically approving friends?  
(Version 1.4.14)

TIM27  but why would you want to add friends automatically when there are so many spam profiles? it might be more advertising $$, but it's also smart on their part. and it still doesn't cost the user anything.  
(Version 1.4.14)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 2.2)

TIM27  i don't understand why somebody would pay $35 for this when they can use the website for free??  
(Version 1.4.5)

TIM27  what do you mean? your statement doesn't make any sense.  
(Version 1.15.1)

TIM27  what's an NTLM network?  
(Version 2.2)

TIM27  PPC only?!?  
(Version 4.0.2)

TIM27  if you have iView Media Pro 3, you should be able to get a free upgrade to this new version (from what iView's website says).  
(Version 1.0.8076)

TIM27  you didn't read the Feb 20th posting and replies did you?  
(Version 4.1.3)

TIM27  We have it where I work and it works fine. Try thowing prefs away, rebuild permissions, etc.  
(Version 11.3.5)

TIM27  $230?!! You've got to be kidding.  
(Version 4.13)

TIM27  Will this make widgets actually sit on the desktop, or do they still "hover" above all apps?  
(Version 3.1)

TIM27  This is a nice app, but Yum is free and does pretty much the same things.

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10225/yum  
(Version 1.1)

TIM27  $400 and you don't even have an Intel version yet?!  
(Version 6.05)

TIM27  This program seems to have a lot of potential. But I agree with other posters that the interface needs desperate organization. Too many palettes and no way to control them!  
(Version 2.1.3)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 4.1.1)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 4.1.1)

TIM27  This is the best freeware application EVER!  
(Version 1.8)

TIM27  Forget about all these *-pedia programs and just buy Delicious Library:

http://www.delicious-monster.com/  
(Version 3.4)

TIM27  did you dig up the interface from 1994?  
(Version 3.9.1)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 1.8.3)

TIM27  Is there anything cool in it worth downloading it for? Other than being universal?  
(Version CS3b)

TIM27  shouldn't this be universal by now?  
(Version 1.4.1)

TIM27  Seems decent except for some speed issues, but not worth $35 in my opinion. Maybe $20 for a Finder replacement.  
(Version 4.6.1)

TIM27  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!  
(Version 5.7b2)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  Thanks for the Intel update to this great app!!  
(Version 1.1.3)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 1.6)

TIM27  The bad thing is, most people will not even know this exists before they do their firmware update. So really, what's the point?  
(Version 1.2)

TIM27  looks like a very nice update, but I still don't see certain css features, such as text-shadow, in the user interface. unless I'm missing something. would be nice to have in there.  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  This is waaaaaaay better:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16417

Not only in functionality, but in looks.  
(Version 1.23)

TIM27  Since updating to 7.0.2 iTunes will no longer get album artwork for songs. I've repaired permissions, still no luck.  
(Version 7.0.2)

TIM27  This program is great. The only thing I can think would make it better is to be able to assign a label color to recipes to highlight your favorites. Or perhaps star ratings?  
(Version 1.2)

TIM27  Why was the Burn Disc button moved to the bottom of the window? That is annoying!  
(Version 7.0.2)

TIM27  Are these guys working on any Intel conversions for their products????  
(Version 1.120)

TIM27  you seriously need to hire a graphic designer for that interface.

and for your website as well.  
(Version 1.21)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 3.1)

TIM27  I have no idea what you just said  
(Version 2.0)

TIM27  are we gonna see an intel version soon? it's been in beta for a loooong time now.  
(Version 2.3.1)

TIM27  this app is awesome! thanks for making it.  
(Version 1.3.1)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 4.0.1)

TIM27  this is great, but shouldn't it be universal binary by now?  
(Version 4.0.6)

TIM27  I am so happy that this game has continued to be updated. Thank you developers! It is so much better than Myth 3.  
(Version 1.6b1)

TIM27  Not really something that I personally would use, however, I think it could be a very useful app for a lot of people. And the design is very nice and thought out. And you can't beat the price! Nice work!  
(Version 1.0)

TIM27  universal binary please!  
(Version 1.6.8b2)

TIM27  well, don't bother buying this software. or any other radical breeze software. the author has decided to abandon the mac platform and switch to linux.

unfortunate, as they made decent software. but don't waste your money, since they probably won't update anymore.  
(Version 1.1.3)

TIM27  well, don't bother buying this software. or any other radical breeze software. the author has decided to abandon the mac platform and switch to linux.

(Version 1.5.7)

TIM27  well, don't bother buying this software. or any other radical breeze software. the author has decided to abandon the mac platform and switch to linux.

(Version 6.1.6)

TIM27  I think that screenshot needs to be updated, no?  
(Version 8.1)

TIM27  would be nice if it included options for text shadows and opacity and things like that.  
(Version 1.7.2)

TIM27  Adobe will be the last company to do that  
(Version 4.1.2)

TIM27  make it universal!  
(Version 5.0.2)

TIM27  They should just make this thing freeware. What ever happened to PopChar Lite?  
(Version 3.0b4)

TIM27  what's up with the no demo thing? i'm not going to buy a game if i can't test it out first!  
(Version 1.0)

TIM27  This is without a doubt the best font manager for OS X. And it's free.  
(Version 1.0)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 3.2)

TIM27  If you're going to spend as much money as this, then you might as well purchase either GoLive or Dreamweaver and get more features and better CSS support.  
(Version 4.0.4)

TIM27  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?  
(Version 1.0)

TIM27  It would be cool if the rows were alternating colors to make viewing easier.

It's a good program though.  
(Version 3.6.1b7)

TIM27  This needs works. Linotype's FontExplorer is waaaay better. And right now it's free. I think the author should check out that app before posting this and adjust his feature set and price accordingly.  
(Version 1.0)

TIM27  I don't know why this is getting such high reviews here. This thing was running so slow on my mac I couldn't stand it. I have OS X 10.4.3, G4 933. Plus you can't customize the viewing window. I want to be able to see my passwords when I open the app. And the Preferences are located under the Edit menu like this is still an OS 9 app. What gives?  
(Version 2.1)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 1.3.6)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 3.0)

TIM27  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.  
(Version 2005r3)
