![]() ![]() I had a bit of a problem with the licence system (it turned out I was trying to upgrade with a truly ancient licence) and I needed some help, so I emailed the support guys and prepared to wait for a while. Seemed to work ok, so I got the upgrade to 3.0 ($15 - very reasonable!). After a few good reviews I decided to take the plunge again, downloaded the demo and tried it out. I still wasn't going to go down that path of pain again though. It was earlier this year that I noticed some interesting posts from a new developer who was asking people to give the new developers some time to get things right (and I noticed that they seemed to be putting a lot of bugs right). It's round about then that all the terrible reviews started to come out and the stories of people losing data started to surface. It worked reasonably well a while back, but then everything just went terribly wrong, and I gave up on the product. I've been using this product on and off for a couple of years. Probably needs stars reset.very stable now and terrific support - Version: 3.62, (5/5 stars) If you're a Mac person who must cooperate with Exchange, this is a Must Use. ever since the re-engagement of developers about a year ago, and then the release of 3.5, the product and the support have been wildly different. Version: 3.62, (4/5 stars)īeen using the product for 3 years. If your Mac has to play in the same sandbox with Microsoft, don't deprive yourself of this invaluable interface with Apple's great products. (Most of the connection/syncing difficulty related to old Entourage preferences that had to be trashed.) Even with the troubleshooting involved, Snerdware was able to reply within 24 hours or less (same business day if I sent correspondence in the morning). Due to custom login settings on my corporate side, Snerdware sent several iterations of Groupcal instructions and beta versions of the software until I finally connected. This made Entourage a poor solution with Microsoft Exchange server. ![]() My corporation's Microsoft-compliant IT department is very Mac-shy and unwilling to change even simple settings to allow connectivity. Great tech support for a very useful product - Version: 3.62, (5/5 stars) ![]() If/when you run into problems the tech support folks and programmers are all over you getting things working again. Since the new developers took over on this product it has become very stable and useable. Time to reset the stars - Version: 3.70, (4/5 stars) The Snerdware support gave me a free license for the time that my MBP was being repaired. I had to send my new MBP off to be repaired, in the interim, I needed to move back to my tried and true 17" PB. The product itself performs as advertised. Most notably version 3.75, it is absolutely essential to being able to work seemlessly with the Exchange world.

If you need an alternative to VersionTracker, MacUpdate is still around, and AppFresh (based on i use this) and Logiciel are worth a look. Other than the irritating and frequent plugs for CBS TV, the site is still useful and continues to aggressively cover all things related to tech. I don't think MacFixIt was improved any by the CNET takeover, and I don't have high hopes for VersionTracker, either, but I'm going to keep an open mind.ĬNET was acquired by CBS two years ago. ![]() The familiar layout of VersionTracker has been changed, and it may startle a few users. Over time, the content expanded to include Windows software. VersionTracker goes back to 1995, when it was a Mac only site. This process actually began in 2007, when CNET acquired VersionTracker, MacFixIt, and iPhone Atlas. CNET has put up a page explaining the changes. The VersionTracker newsletters will continue, but they will be rebranded as CNET products. VersionTracker Pro, a paid feature, will be discontinued after the current subscriptions run out. Have you been to lately? If you try today, you'll be redirected to the CNET site, where you'll get a brief explanation that the venerable VersionTracker site is now a branded part of the CNET empire. ![]()
