Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By mister zed

    Almost great, if not for TWO Achilles tendons

    I bought this several years ago, and tried importing my CodeBox snippets—since that app was abandoned years ago and this one is generally superior. The problem is that SnippetsLab has a lousy importer which fails to import the smart groups. I figured they would fix this, and decided to stick with CodeBox for a while. Fast-forward a few years and I got so sick of CodeBox I just couldn't put up with it any more. I've PAID for Snippets Lap after all, I should use it. And guess what, the importer is still terrible. 😱 Another even bigger problem: instead of a separate menubar app and full app, the single app can show up in your menubar and either hide the menu and dock icon and command-tab icon, OR show all of those. This means if you want to have access to an item in the menubar, you need to either ALWAYS have the app open (very annoying!) or NEVER have access to the app's menu and NEVER be able to switch to the open app through the Dock or through command-tab. This is a really incredibly bad design, the very same one that makes Fantistical go from a gorgeous calendar to a useless calendar.

    Another version that crashes on iCloud Sync - no fix in sight

    Nice idea and all, but unfortunately there is no effective way to synchronize snippets between machines. Just touching the iCloud tabs in Preferences will send the app into an infinite spin as has been the case over several versions now. So unless you want to start to manually create a document with another app where you keep all your snippets and then manually transfer those back into this app on each PC, you're fresh out of options. And that of course completely defeats the purpose of this app. If you only run one computer though this may not be of concern. Otherwise best look elsewhere. BTW: Can't verify the author's claim of "Windows App Store BEST". Seems he only added that headline as a shameless marketing gimmick. Well - I fell for it, so at least someone is making money.

    Love the Alfred Workflow

    I have really enjoyed using this application. The developer has been very quick to respond to suggestions and feedback. One such thing was adding a keyboard to Copy the currently selected snippet into your paste buffer. The next one that has really improved my productivity is the Alfred Workflow that can be optionally installed.

    A must have tool for all developers

    I find this to be valuable and helpful. I love the fact that it integrates with GITHUB GIST and lets you import your GISTS right into SnippetLab. It is easy to organize your snippets using folders and tags. I also love the full markdown support. Many of my snippets are take the form of HOWTOs. This is a great and important tool in my toolbox.
