Can open from menu bar--but S-L-O-W!
geneb5February 6, 2012
Pros
Menu bar presence helps remind you to write an entry.
Cons
It takes SO LONG to get going, I've forgotten what I wanted to write! WHO NEEDS its "Mood bar chart," "Local Weather Pie Chart," "Applications used bar chart," and even a "Contacts pie chart???" All these smiley faces and nonsense remind me of the godawful TIVO interface, when all I really want or need is for the app to Get the hell out of my way! Tech support says it has no plans on speeding it up.
Summary
As a diary-entry program, it seems quickly available so you can write a fast entry--but it's hobbled by all its time-consuming, cutesy, useless "features."
A complete log of your computer life, and a diary!

Pros
Simple, efficient and mostly automatic, this app gives a big return with minimal effort. Chronories requires almost no user intervention while while doing its job. Developers are responsive and helpful. They just added a feature I requested!
Cons
Nothing is perfect, but this is close. I am confident that improvements can be made in it's ability to format and manipulate data output, but this is an app that already does more than I would have thought of myself.
Summary
If you live a computing life and want to keep a history and diary, this is the app.
A very useful application

Suits dairy-keepers and those who want to record the minuteae of their lives and interaction with their computer.
Cons
Still missing is the summary interaction with email programs other than Mail.

Summary
Awesome technical support. I downloaded the demo and had problems with it immediately. Robert was very responsive even though I hadn't yet purchased the application and was using it in demo mode. He worked with me every day until he found the issue. He even offered me a free license. I will be paying for the software. JW
Love it

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Since I have a business person for most of my adult life, all my journals have been about business, had not time for a private diary. Now even tho I am still a business person, I wanted to find something gear to me the woman and not the business professional. Something softer and more personal. I been looking for an application that had all the things that I like plus my daily personal journal, something simple to use but with all the extras. When I saw Chronories, I loved it. The "smile" that show my daily mood,the desktop screenshot (I changed my desktop picture depending on my mood) the extra pictures, where i can record what I did, bought, saw...etc.. (I just bought some furniture at an auction and added the pictures so I remember when I bought it). As I subscribe to many newspapers from Los Angeles Times to the Swedish news, I loved that it gives me the headlines, etc.. Great customer service too!
Very Practical ...
