Version: CNET TechTracker app 1.0 beta 4
Pros: Good idea. No performance. No response from CNET submitted feedback.

Summary: The program is a good idea. But....it does not do what is advertises. It effectively does absolutely nothing. CNET does not seem to be in any hurry to fix the issues either. I find that surprising. Basically, you launch the app, it tells you th... read more >>

Version: CNET TechTracker app 1.0 beta 4
"Only works when run manually"
Pros: Free, which is a big plus when compared to MacUpdate and Versiontracker
Cons: Doesn't find many updates that AppFresh does.
Summary: The program doesn't check daily for updates automatically like it should, so it must be run manually to find what updates are available. Furthermore, it continually tells me I have 1.0b3 when I have 1.0b4 installed.

Version: CNET TechTracker app 1.0 beta 4
"Reasonable operation for BETA application."
Pros: Seems easy to use.
Cons: See bottom line.
Summary: Continues to recommend and update for ADOBE Indesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 but this MACBOOKPRO has CS3 installed - not CS4.

Version: CNET TechTracker app 1.0 beta 4
Pros: Doesn't work. Concept good; if it ever works I'll let you know
Cons: Just comes up periodically and runs and runs. I've let it run for 24 hours to see if it would load and evaluate programs; no dice.
Summary: Great concept; useless app.
