Also, appears a remarkable resemblance to other products around.
Don't like how it scans real time either as at first glance you're not sure when it's finished.
I think there are better things out there.

Also, I thought it should be pretty obvious to know that when the wheel is spinning, it means it's scanning. When it is not, the scanning is finished.
Best.

The user interface of Spacie is almost exactly like that of WhatSize. Take a look at them side by side - the similarities are obvious.
UI similarities aside, although Spacie costs only $2 as opposed to WhatSize's $13, Spacie lacks a great many of WhatSize's features.
Whatsize also has the advantage of being a Universal Binary that runs under OS 10.4, as opposed to Spacie's being Intel-only and requiring at least OS 10.5.8. There are still plenty of G4 and G5 owners out there who run Tiger, but Spacie is useless to them.
Overall Spacie is a good first effort, but it has quite a way to go before it can compete with WhatSize. In addition, its near duplication of WhatSize's interface is rather blatant.

Hey, how would you design something that doesn't have these elements? The toolbars are completely different though they have similar necessary tools to click.
That's like saying that Camino and Firefox are near duplicates of Safari or even IE or Netscape.

Also, I would invite you to do a test on /Applications folder and see which app comes with the most accurate result.
