iDocument 2

MacOS Catalina reported it as malware and suggested to move it into the trash.

This product is toast. It will not open in high Sierra.

I tried downloading and using this app but it will not open on Mac OS X High Sierra...

i repeat.... do not ever ever ever and forever trust this developer. They make their apps as if it was a scam release a new app, ask for money, no update (repeat). come on have some dignity.

As a (very satisfied) user of "Devonthink Pro Office" i liked the idea of indexing documents "in place" (the only hitch in "Devonthink") and decided to try it out. This app is not able to index 1000 documents, it hangs without ever waking up. It even stays in memory so you can not restart it after a "Force Quit" - you have to reboot. It seems that it has never been tested with an adequate amount of documents, so it´ s totally worthless.

It appears this developer gave up on his products. Web site is up and looks like they are still selling their product but no updates for for iDocument Plus. Too bad this app was helpful.

I bought this a couple hours ago, after a brief test of the trial version. Now that I have it indexing lots of files, I have serious concerns: * It is eating up 20G of memory as it is working. It brings my computer to a halt. Will it handle memory better later? I can only hope so. I have it running on two of my computers, and it is eating up memory on both. * It generates a thumbnail for every document. The average thumbnail size is almost 100K. I have tens of thousands of documents, which means I'm going to have my hard drive filling up with thumbnails. This program maybe only handles modest volumes of files, but that means don't connect your dropbox account if you have lots of files there. Do some research or hold off on buying if you expect this to handle a lot of files until you know it will behave properly.

Wow, I'm disappointed in the reviews. I've been waiting on this app.

Since I just left a comment while this app is an macUpdate Promo, I thought I would also post part and change parts of it to make it a review of my experience here where it is more permanent. I have no connection with the developer of iDocument 2 - just wanted to get that out of the way first. :) Since I had bought iDocument in the past for a previous version, I sent the developer an email asking if there was upgrade pricing. I got a prompt response, a great upgrade price and instantly received the license and I am putting iDocument 2 to good use. So, my experience is different to what some others have stated here. I read a comment that iDocument and the updated version is just a big-fix update you have to pay for. Was this for an iDocument 2 update to an iDocument 2 newer version? In my case, I upgraded from iDocument (guess you could call it iDocument 1) to iDocument 2. My experience is that it is indeed a very different version. The interface is completely different - very clean. The layout much easier to work with. And the response speed is very fast. As an academic, I have thousands upon thousands of documents. With iDocument 2 I was instantly locate a document that I had been hunting around for a couple of months ago. I was not able to do this as effectively in the previous version. So the updated version works well for me. :) If you are after a similar app, there is also "Yep!" (which I also got through a MacUpdate promo). Anyway, just thought I would share my experience. :) Cheers! :)

On this occasion of a iDocument promotional price, I thought this was just what I wanted: until I read these reviews. My thanks to the MacUpdate reviewers.

I bought this app since it's on MAS. Besides a few bug fixes, almost no updates at all. Instead, they added some extra features and made it a new app and sell it separately for 50$! I won't buy any apps by this developer again.

I wrote them a 3rd email, sent them the original invoice to see if they respond at all. If not I'll start the process at PayPal and will make sure they will be cut off from selling via PayPal. Not happy at all!!!

After some hesitating, yesterday I decided to buy and register (I'm already a user of iDocument). I paid 38.04 USD (tax included) but did not get the registration code. I sent them two e-mails, no reply. A very - very bad behaviour. So I'm forced to give a bad rating and urge the developper to send me the registration number ASAP. I have never experienced anything alike!!!!

Notice: iDocument 2 and iDocument Plus are two different programs, please do not use iDocument 2's library while trial iDocument Plus. iDocument 2 will be submitted to Macupdate in the close future. We're sorry about the inconvenience. Happy New Year! IcyBlaze

Happy new year iDocument Users! In the beginning of 2014, we brought you the Best iDocument ->iDocument Plus! It is an higher level product compare to iDocument 2, and it has more powerful functions, supports more formats. And Best of all, all Paid iDocument users could upgrade to this version with the cheapest upgrade discount for only $9.95 for limited time. Please enjoy the brand new iDocument! (We'll keep working on iDocument 2 too to bring more and better features to the product in the future.)

I've got two BIG problems with this new version. It's constantly crashing. And the iDocument Plus converted (or done something else) the index file and now iDocument 2 can't open these index files. So I can't use both. Very disappointing.

I have been using 2.x version for some time, previously 1.x.x. I got an academic licence. It is not the best product on the market, and I do not find the recent update a trick. For the time being, 2.0.5 was a free update, it is less agreeable to find that there is no discount upgrade of the 2.0.5 users (or was it and is not any more?). V. 2.x is a lot better than v. 1.x.x. Of course, I am evaluating another (better?) solution, for the time being let us be correct, iDocument and iD Plus are OK and within the good sense of an extra cost for a newer version.

From their website, the app is currently 60% off and selling for $29.95. http://www.icyblaze.com/store/

As always time goes on and no changes. Ah, well, a big change. The new iDocument Plus: a pay upgrade for existing users. The "free" pass from iDocument 1 to iDocument 2 was just as sand in the eyes because the real upgrade is to pay. I think you have good developers but very bad marketing/administration/support. Anyway, no news about to .dyndns service the app connects. Perhaps MacUpdate should ban this kind of company. Sorry to be rude.

Took this for a trial run. Overall, I like the look and feel of this (despite some UI quirks and some awkward uses of English), but not sure I really need the app (although: it is nice to have the option to access docs in iCloud in your iDocument). I'm pretty good in keeping things organized in hierarchical folders. Couple things I noticed with this app: * Performance: can rev up your CPU during indexing large folders (on my MBP 17" 2011 with 16GB RAM) * Organization: the view area will list things alphabetically; in thumbnail view, each alphabetical category (#, 1, ..., a, b, ...) will open in expanded view; no command to collapse the view for easier scrolling to target a particular section. * Footprint: you can throw all kinds of stuff into this app, but if you decide to remove content, there is no "garbage collection." Everything you add to the Library, will remain indexed in the Library > Thumbnails folder even AFTER you remove items from the Library. This can be an issue for space-conscious users (or users who want to store their Library in the cloud). For example, I added a folder of some 30,000 images and documents to another folder I already had in iDocuments. The size of the Library increased from 2.5 GB to some 20 GB. Even after I removed the newly added folder and then restarted iDocuments, the Library folder remained at 20 GB; nothing got removed from the Thumbnails folder. No option to rebuild the Library/DB and remove irrelevant content. (The makers of the *pedia apps, Bruji, for example, give you the feature to Option-click Help and there you get all kinds of options to remove invalid or outdated data, including removing covers from items no longer in your *pedia database.) Other than that, looks like a good (albeit somewhat basic) option for users with a penchant for throwing things into a bucket and tagging.
