"Uses 'unusual' sales tactics -- to put it politely"
Version: Backup Made Simple 5.1.239
Pros
The GUI interface shown in screenshots sent to Tiny Hacker look great -- but that's not what I got with the download here.
Cons
I can't figure out how to use it
No support during trial, perhaps not after either.
A developer that distributes 'inaccurate' info about itself.Summary
The first time I used this app, the developer pitched it as free. After 90 days, all I got was pop-ups asking me to pay for it. I deleted it.
Recently I downloaded it again based on a post including great screenshots and a 'free' claim from TinyHacker. It still isn't free (at least CNET got this right), and the screenshots shown don't match the app in use. Also downloads the Ask toolbar without offering an opt out during installation.
A company that can't be honest about how its app looks, downloads and costs -- then seeks out other sites to spread its misinformation -- is not one I want to deal with.
Questions directed to the developer have gone unanswered.
