  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I bought and paid for Detour eons ago; paid for the upgrade fee too when a newer version was released. I always felt that it was worth it and my money was well spent. Rogue Amoeba is such a class-act and I intent to keep supporting them by purchasing other apps they develop. For those who sat on the fence over licensing Detour, you lost out of its usage during your waiting. Now that your wait is over you get the opportunity to own a greta piece of software for free. Also, I thank Rogue Amoeba for giving previous owners a nice little thank you gift, very classy. This app works exceedingly well for those who own external iSights and other multimedia devices using sound...I use it daily.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Makes Tiger behave very dangerously. I've just spent the last week in mac hospital because Detour messed up with my system and lost a lot of data. I can't say it was all down to Detour but as soon as I reinstalled it it happened again. Works like a dream with Panther though. Let's hope a Tiger update is on the way.

• Turn Left...NO Turn Rightt--Detour Ahead!

  Pros

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have no issues with RA. I had a problem with the previous version, but they always answered my e-mails. The problem was solved when the Panther moved to its next revision. I find RA a pretty cool software company and I like what they offer us. This version adds some needed features and is really starting to rock the house.

• No problems here

  Pros

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />At least for the applications I use with it, Detour still works great and is very easy to use. One snafu is that I have the built-in ScreenSaver entry disabled (unchecked), but it still shows up in the new Detour menu. Also I wish the volume controls in the Detour menu were actual volume sliders instead of a set of fixed percentages. Still, it's a nice enhancement to an already very fine product.

• They blew it AGAIN

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />These guys have some great ideas and a kewl interface but this is still a piece of CRAP. Says it works with any APP. I have been trying to get them to make it work with YIM for 6 versions now. Oh well, maybe next time. They don't answer my emails any more, either. My last email to them came back "undeliverable". Save your money.
