I am a Yep2 user, but seeking for a better alternative to organise my document files. I stumbled across iDocument and it looks really promising. I agree with most of the previous reviewers. Without further ado, here are the feedback so far: Pro: - UI: Clean interface, easy-to-use. Definitely heading towards the right direction. The interface is friendlier and gives a better user experience overall than Yep2 - Since all the documents are stored in one Package file, it is much easier to backup or move to a different computer - Encryption is nice - Importing, Tagging, work well However, like other applications, it does have its shortcomings: - Does not prompt to delete original once the files are imported successfully - Cannot select what info to show in any view (Icon, Group, or List) - Cannot tell the file type in Icon view, maybe a small file type icon would help - Being a Yep2 user, having the ability to "Scan+Tag+Organise" is a HUGE time saver - File Sharing still feels a bit flaky - More mouse-over tooltip would be helpful - It would be cool to detect and migrate Yep2 tags during import iDocument shows the potential to be THE document manager, especially when IcyBlaze improves a few areas. Scanner support would be much appreciated, although I don't mind using Image Capture. All in all, it is a well put-together application, and I am glad there is another option to help manage all my documents. I don't really miss Yep2 that much at all :)

_I gave up on IceyBlaze, myself._

**Non existent** customer support. Still isn't completely compatible with El Capitan. Sad, because it has some nice features. I highly recommend EagleFiler. Developed by a long time Indie Mac Developer who consistently updates his software. DevonThinkPro uses a database so you are stuck with them once you start using DevonThink. EagleFiler uses an open file system, that is nicely organized and out of the way but easily accessed.

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.

Version 2.0.7

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.

And now... hours later, even after reboots of my computer, if left open, the app takes over 30G of swap file space. I simply cannot even leave this program open to test it out.

I'll accept paying for software I find that I don't use often (I have lots of that from MacUpdate), but in this case, I'm wondering if I can get a refund for software that simply isn't usable.

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.
