"Nice product... PayPal-only payment sucks."
Pros
I used the trial version software for the provided 20 minutes and found it worked pretty well. I was ready to buy, except...
Cons
... Company only accepts PayPal, saying (via responses to 2 Support requests) they've found it's the cheapest payment processor to work with. I offered to send them a check - which requires no payment processing fee at all - but they don't want it.
Some users will find the twenty minute trial is too limited to fully try out the program. For $10 I was willing to "roll the dice" that long term performance might not be as good as during the (very) short term trial.Summary
AirParrot appears to be a sweet little program - and I wish the developer good fortune with this innovative product - but it's not sweet enough for me to do business again with PayPal.
Well, I complained about PayPal a little too soon... Developer got back to me on second request with info on sending a check. I can't change the stars rating here, but provisionally would say it's at least a 3, and hopefully proves even higher after the license shows up and I've had a chance to use it more.
