Software Reviews and Criticism

  Saved my LIFE

  Helium ACTUALLY saved my life. Here I am, a college freshman, interning at a small business over the break. Of course, being an intern, my job is to do all the boring things that no one else wants to do. I’m talking endless spreadsheets, mind-numbing data entry, that sort of stuff. So what am I to do for eight hours a day, stuck doing the most boring things known to man? Enter Helium. I was able to get all my work done without going insane from boredom by watching Netflix through Helium. It never got in the way of my work, could be resized, moved anywhere, even sometimes could change the opacity. Finally, I could be productive while entertaining myself and neither got in the way of the other. Helium, you saved my life from being overcome by even the most mind-numbingly boring work possible. Thank you!!!

  ALMOST Perfect

  I love this app. It does exactly what it advertises and is so much more helpful than I expected. As a distractable college student, Helium is a lifesaver. The only thing that would make this app better is if there was a way to pin it/minimize it to the menu bar. That would a. make it much more convienant to use and find, and b. would keep out of the way of other open apps on the dock. It just makes more sense to me to keep it on the menu bar. If that was an option that was added, then this app would be perfect.

  Really love it but there are a couple things I would love to be changed

  Once again, does exactly what it says it does so if you are looking to have a PiP like experiance for twitch or netflix, look no further. I would however like to see the location text field activate when I hit (CMD L) right now, when I do that I have to mouse over to the text field, click in it and then past my link. Second, it would be awesome to see the title bar at the top of the window go away. Once again, awesome app and thank you!

  Amazing, a couple of things

  I want to start by saying I LOVE this app. I never knew I needed something like this so thank you for making it. It would be easier if when I clicked on the window to select the app to, for example, then use the spacebar to puase what’s playing, that it would select it. As it stands now I usually have to click on the icon on the Dock to get it to select the window. Additionally, many times when using Netflix I get an error on Netflix to reload the page and try again. This may not be the fault of the app, but something with Netflix that dooesn’t like the app. Thank you again for this amazing app!
