  • Caboodle - A way to collect random snippets of text or images on your machine.
  • Narrator - A program that will read out stories in multiple voices.
  • WriteRoom - A distraction-free word-processor, and possibly the most popular app in the bundle.
  • Scribbles - A simple drawing utility.
  • Money - An accounting app.
  • Operation - A simple project management application.
  • Aurora - An iTunes-integrated alarm clock.
  • Compositor - A CoreGraphics-based image editor.

Color me unimpressed.. this bundle is boring and relatively useless, as others have stated

Buckingham: They're demonstrating their products "undo" function.

Yes. Check the video again. I know the undo was shown, but that's not where the mistake is.

You might be on to something there, Nikax.

What an incredibly craptacular collection of yawnware. MacHeist was cool. MacUpdate bundle, great. Even some of the more obscure bundles that have been going around, ok. But this bundle is just blaahhh.

How can you misspell the name of your product in your video demo? (Check the scribbles video demo on their site)

There are an awful lot of apps that I wish their designs had ended in Interface Builder.

People do tend to over-value their applications, though - it's easy to look at things from the I-put-weeks-of-my-life-into-this point of view, instead of the what-is-it-worth-to-other-people point of view.

Also: iConquer and WriteRoom - interesting juxtaposition.

If I wasn't familiar with the apps in this bundle, I'd think that was a harsh comment.

Money is a very useful app, my wife uses it extensively. But other than that, these apps are kinda, well, worthless. Narrator? Hasn't Mac been able to read text since, like, 1995? Core-Graphics based image editing? I already have iPhoto and Aperture, which encompass all those features, not to mention the excellent Pixelmator. RSS/ATOM? Safari. Mac Pilot? Disk Utility and Onyx. Shoebox Express? Are you serious? What are the chances that it's an iPhoto killer?

The first MacHeist was amazing. I didn't own any macs at the time (only my work machines) or I would've jumped on it. Now everyone's trying to follow suit with apps that look like their design began and ended in Interface Builder.

1. There is plenty of free software for Mac.

2. If you honestly think there isn't overpriced, undervalued software in the Windows market, you haven't spent any time at all looking through Windows shareware.

3. Go cry somewhere else. If you own something, including intellectual property, you have a right to charge for it. I am so sick of people like you leaving reviews on the App Store... "dis app needs 2 b fr33"... Get a life.

Based on the design of the site, this looks to be the same people as the MacMix Promo??

But why would they go to the traditional bundle, they were touting their mix-n-match thing and it was awesome!

I want my freedom back :'(

:P
