Great Idea but not optimized to actually work.

By AidinK (Pcmac user)

I love the idea of this app and UI/UX design but sadly the app crashes too often & everytime you press copy and try to actually run the task. So I now just use it as a visual checker and manually transfer on Finder which then it really makes this app not worth the money. I’m still willing to wait and give it a chance but you MUST work on the backend to fix these crashes and review the crash reports plz. One thing i would like added is a progress bar or a Que to see that status of individual tasks or all tasks. PLEASE fix the crashing issues. Working on an iMac Pro just FYI if that helps.
Ideas from developer.

By rysmax (Pcmac user)

At the right pane I see the old file name (before renaming) but the file has a new name. Bad visualization of differences on scroll pane - light gray color on light background - should be colored. On the left pane which contain list of files all directory titles is so small - add more font size and/or make color darker. Please, add color manager for differences - my eyes want to cry!
Folder comparison crashes a lot.

By JonathanWheeler (Pcmac user)

Love the app and its design, except it randomly crashes within a minute after I compare two different folders and drill down a few times. Very frustrating. The app hasn’t been updated in a year. Please fix this. I have to keep reopening the app over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…………………
UI looks good, but it just doesn't work.

By BitGuyCA (Pcmac user)

this app has proved to be a costly, useless app. Crashes constantly doing the simplest compares. I have not been able to find any useful documentation, but there doesn't seem to be any way to exclude particular file types in compares. Trying to compare photo directories (with a few dozen photos) almost always hangs. Very disappointing.
