    "Wants you to pay after loading"

    May 8, 2013  |   By summersond

    Version: Fences 2.10

    Pros

    Nice interface. Works well

    Cons

    Nag screens constantly want you to buy the purchased version. Had to go in and disable nag messages in services.

    Summary

    I would give it 5 stars if it didnt nag me to buy the purchased version constantly.

    "Do not Update!"

    May 2, 2013  |   By dbgman

    Version: Fences 2.10

    Pros

    Almost the same as the previous version with a few new features.

    Cons

    When I installed the new version I did not realize the free version is now gone. So instead of having the old version that was free I now only have 30 days to use it before I will have to uninstall it. Shame they did not put in a warning before you upgraded.

    "When it was free Great, but now not so Great!"

    May 1, 2013  |   By bolx20

    Version: Fences 2.10

    Pros

    When it was free this was a must have program/app for anyone who hated an icon infested desktop! It gives a clean look to any desktop with icons hidden with a simple click of the mouse. Despite now having to pay for it still is very useful to keep the desktop tidy.

    Cons

    Since it has become paid for, it is no longer a must have program/app! It is useful but not must have!

    Summary

    For what was originally a free program/app, this could have easily been used as a hook to get people to buy an upgraded version.

    Keep a basic version free, but if people want more capabilities, then charge for it! It works for other software vendors????????

    I'm basing my rating on it being useful, as it is no longer a must have

    "went from free to paid only"

    May 1, 2013  |   By cynwalker

    Version: Fences 2.10

    Pros

    It's still a good program.

    Cons

    They don't tell you that the update is a paid only version and there is no longer a free version. Only load it if you want to pay.

    Summary

    Good program if you need to remove clutter, of course you could just make your own folders. It's not worth it to me to pay for it.
