Cocktail

I've supported Cocktail for years and found it useful. I upgraded to and paid for the Ventura version earlier this year. Now along comes the Sonoma edition. Passwords that used to be good for at least a couple of versions now apparently are good for only one. The "upgrade" price is, well, full retail. And the developer is totally unresponsive, has not responded to at least 3 eMails sent to enquire about this. In my last eMail to the developer I stated that I would dump Cocktail if I didn't receive a response. I've now done so. In the past I've highly recommended Cocktail. Now I strongly recommend AGAINST it.

Not sure what's going on with this software developer, but I purchased it back in Oct and bought a Family License and was supposed to receive a license 10 hours later or sooner, but here we are on Nov 19 and still nothing. I have emailed them constantly and even Paddle has as well to no avail.

non si trova la versione 11.7 Big Sur dove é?

I love this software for cleaning out the cruff and damaged cache files. However, their licensing is now based each major version. 7 months ago I finally updated to macOS 13. I needed a new license. Now, I just updated to macOS 14 and I need a new license. And yes, there is really no support.

it needs a "helper" to work on Silicon Mac. I did install it, but will wait until it gets compatible with M1.

NOT a one-time purchase. Will maybe work for a few versions then you need to buy again. Given up.

Not only does no one respond from Maintain, but you can't contact MacUpdate through their support email address to ask them to remove this software!

Registration not working since version 16.2.2 in Ventura.

Was very good, but will not install under Ventura , says from internet?

I had the same problem as many others. Cocktail will not hold its registration. This through more than one release. Repeated efforts to contact the developer all failed. Asking for refund of money just paid. I don't get it. I've used Cocktail since version 3 and always found it to be pretty much bug free and found the developer to be quite friendly and helpful. Something has certainly changed.

Is ANYONE able to make contact with maintain.se? Whenever I post a query in their support site's message area it stays permanently stuck on "Sending....." Help!

What is going on with this Website and the Company, they/them reluctantly do not answer their users, who pay for their service, when problems arise, this Cocktail has 2 problems, one the registration of it product does NOT SAVE the Purchased item registration, they refuse to respond as receiving numerous reports of failure, and the next issue its not propagating checking version Number. The product can be used one has to re enter registration information after ever use. Any one have any connection with the Co in Stockholm, Sweden where based??? Now the web sit is unreachable. .Version 15.3.3 is Current for Mac.

Very good Mac utility app BUT over the last month or two, on two different Macs, Cocktail 15.3 and 15.3.1 keep losing my registration info - I have to re-register almost every time I use the app - Just tried installing 15.3.1 again and the same thing happened again. Sadly "Support" has gone silent and is not answering emails, despite the app being updated recently. PLEASE Maintain respond!

Please overall with cocktail as the application utilils work, My ambivalence re: to Support , it has been 4 days no response from ???? maintain.se support on an issue with registering the product with an already VALID registration #, the application continues to require re inputting before this application is used. Version 15.3.1 am able to use but, having to re input my name , my email and registration numb over and over not appreciated and no response from support , not appreciated..

This is not Apple Silicon (M1) native—it still needs Rosetta 2 installed... Dumb, just dumb!

They are selling lifetime license but ask you to buy again if you upgrade your OS. Poor communication Crooks Poor support Onyx is free and work just as well

Long time user jumping off this train. No upgrade pricing. Plus, this app does nothing significant that is not covered by free/donationware Onyx. I see no compelling reason to pay the kind of money they seek any more.

I bought a lifetime license for Cocktail in 2007. I have never had any problems with the app, or the developer, sometimes there have been a little delay before versions for new versions of MacOS were ready, but I prefer that to having a half finished app. Maintain normally sends me a new license key when nessecary, except once where I wrote to Maintain, and they promptly sent a new license key. Cocktail does what it is ment to, without any problems whatsoever.

Looks like maintain.se is not available anymore? Has the developer gone the way of the Dodo? Update checks within the app don't seem to work anymore either.

Has Maintain closed down? I was a lifetime-paid owner of Cocktail since way back. I was forced to pay to get the BETA version for Catalina. So much for lifetime. Today I wanted to run Cocktail and when I noted I still had the Beta I first tried the apps "check for update". That gave an error. So I tried to go direct to maintain.de and Safari says "Can't find the server" Then I come to MacUpdate and tried to get the 13.2.5 version. This download results in the same error. Did Maintain take my money (and other users' money) and run? Reminds me of when Unsanity.com of FruitMenu, WIndowShade and others did the same. They even asked for customers to pre-order to help them financially then closed down.
