Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By Triola1323

    Good — when it works!

    I picked this software because I did not like the policies of the main competitor, who sell what I think is an expensive product then require repurchasing for every OS update. I thought this would be an alternative, but it seems every major OS update makes the software stop working, and El Capitan is apparently never going to be supported in the App Store version (I mean, it’s been over six months now). So, bought the software in August or September 2015 and got my shortcuts all set up. Mid-Sep.. read more

    too many problems, licensing needs to be fixed

    The app does not work with El Capitan, and while the author has provided a workaround to help fix this, it seems that with the latest update of El Capitan, this work around no longer works. It’s a great tool, when it works. However when it stops, it really does mess things up. I just received the “trial expired” notice again, and this means that I can’t access the tool, nor can I access any of the shortcuts (which of course I need … murphy law, right). With no active updates happening since Apri.. read more

    Second look. What’s not to like! Grab the non-sandboxed version!!

    I tried this a long time ago and was frustrated with inconsistent perormance. Forget all that. The developer is refressingly honest, says sandboxing is a royal pain for some apps (he’s in good company). SO—just go ahead and get the inexpensive version from his web site (NOT sandboxed). 21 day free trial. Only 4.95. I was able to use my previous App Store version to authenticate the web site version, saving my small investment already made. Take a little time to learn how to configure it (ve.. read more

    Excelllent OS X app!

    I have no idea why there are so many complaints about this app. I have been using it for a long time and it is a massive time saver, since a lot my job consists of sending quotes for services performed…some are repetitive, but detailed and vary in levels of service. I can send a ‘custom’ quote to a potential client in a matter of seconds. The info I usually send would normally take 15-30 minutes to edit every time, so as you can see, the biggest part of learning the software is knowing the short.. read more
