Top Pcmac Reviews

Corrupt installation, paying for something I didn’t install in the first place

By Bluescentric (Pcmac user)

As others have said, many apps don’t use this app, so it’s not exactly an easily justifiable endeavor. I somehow inhereted this app with Adobe, if I remember right. After a year or two's worth of notifications that this app, which I didn’t install in the first place, was out of date, (and Apple implementing it’s OWN notification system in that time) I finally decided to get it because my spam filter and some adobe programs use it, and I was tired of the old notification goofiness, so I thought maybe an update would make my life easier. I guess not, though. I buy it and download it like I do everything else on the app store and the first thing I see is that my install was corrupt. 4 mintues after I bought this. Sorry guys, this app’s old notifications were already not great. I’ve got a screencap of 25 notifications going off at once and covering my entire screen and I had to individually X each one. Now I have to download their UNinstaller to REinstall the thing I just bought from the app store. Trying to update has officially become a serious pain, and all for an app that, again, I never bought.
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

By VLNewby (Pcmac user)

Don’t waste your money, people. I give it one star because there is no option for negative stars. These little notifications have been popping up on my Mac screen urging me to update this app. I finally decided, sure, why not? So I paid the $3.99, and *attempted* to install the thing. It did not work. I got a message saying, “We’ve detected that the Mac App store keft you with a corrupt install. Please follow the instructions the button takes you to in order to remedy the situation.” I did exactly that, but… I tried FOUR TIMES, following ALL the instructions TO THE LETTER and got the same results, with the message that “the Mac App store has left you with a corrupt install, etc.” So it’s the App store’s fault this app doesn’t work? I don’t think so. this app needs to tune up its game, big time. If the Mac App store has a bad file, this app needs to freakin' give them a new one! Who even are these people, anyway? Just don’t. And this app doesn’t want to hear from you either. Their “contact us” page? The best you can hope for is to be sent to a “discussion page” where you can read about all the trouble EVERYONE else has had with it. If I wanted to do a research project, I’d go back to college. So after fooling with this WAY longer than I wanted to already, I’m giving them a bad review. Don’t waste your money, people.
Successfully brings notifications to programs that don’t normally have them

By Hoofhammer (Pcmac user)

I’ve found this app to be very useful over the last several years and am happy to pay for it now that it’s found its way to the App Store. It does everything you could wish for it do without ever getting in the way or crashing. It simply runs invisibly in the background until a program like (video encoder) Handbrake needs to notify you, and then it does so in much the same way Apple’s notifications work for most programs found in the App Store. Well worth its modest price.
Old, but still does the trick for me

By caseyfriday (Pcmac user)

I understand that this app hasn’t been updated in about 4 years, but it still works great for me. I have it set up to listen for my home automation server, and it intercepts those notifications flawlessly. It also converts them into the default Notification Center style in macOS, which is even better. I only use this for about 4-5 services, but it works great with those services, so I’m glad I have it, to avoid needing to receive email notifications, or something similar.
