"Easier to print labels and addresses than Address Book"
Version: Labels & Addresses 1.5.2
Pros
It beats cut-and-paste into word processor and more versatile than Address Book.
Cons
Just about the poorest documentation I've encountered! Online help a little better, but I still can't do a couple of basic things that I think I should be able to do.

"Great piece of software"
Version: Labels & Addresses 1.5.1
Pros
Its import capabilities are highly appreciated i.e. addresses from my Apple address book or Vcards. Furthermore, the programme recognises many different label formats (I use Avery products).
Cons
So far I found no cons

"With 1.5.1 L&A is OK"
Version: Labels & Addresses 1.5.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Now with the release of version 1.5.1 I can now reverse my previous statement and recommendation. I have an Address Book of upwards of 3000 contacts. That apparently was causing L&A to freeze. I just installed 1.5.1 and everything seems to work as advertised. -

I have been a fan of Belight's products and own several. But L&A, so far is unusable. Virtually anything I try to get it to do, results in the spinning ball and a force quit. Printing to an Epson R260 or R280 was impossible. Changing groups in the Address Book link was impossible. Yes, support answered right away, even sent a link to version 1.5 that I downloaded. That, too, failed to work. I'm running a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Every other application works just fine. They all print just fine. I would stay away from this product until it becomes reliable. -
"Great product"
Version: Labels & Addresses 1.3.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I personally downloaded and tested 9 barcode programs and found this one to be easy, friendly and exactly what I needed for my manufacturing business. We were asked by one of our large distributors to place barcoded labels on all our products. we only had two weeks to get this ready. many of the programs were difficult to understand and did not provide an easy way to create great looking labels. Labels & Addresses did everything we required, with graphics, pictures, barcodes, data fields and all in an easy to understand layout.
When we had questions their support team and forum answered us quickly and with some of the best service I have ever known. For a company in the Ukraine I was impressed with the way they explained and sent samples, a short movie file that took me step by step through the process.
I would recommend this to anyone. -
"Great app for grad party invitations"
Version: Labels & Addresses 2.6.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I used this to print graduation party invitation mailing labels. It was extremely easy to use, fits nicely with the Mac/Leopard user interface, and was able to do everything I needed. My only complaint was that it could read data from Excel spreadsheets but not Numbers. -
"Mail Factory"
Version: Labels & Addresses 2.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is one of those programs which are a delight to use.
I use it mostly for envelopes, but also for labels, and in either mode it works well.
I was able (a long time back) to make a suggestion for localized address formatting, and that was very quickly acted on. -
"Works Great With Brother Roll Label Printers"
Version: Labels & Addresses 2.4.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I was astonished how much nicer this is than the bundled Brother software, and found it intuitive and attractive. Much faster to setup and get great results than the archaic, ugly, and difficult to use Brother software. I've already used it for several projects and found it to be flawless and fun to use. The price is a bit steep considering that it cost almost as much as the label printer machine I bought on sale at the office supply store. I'm a bit confused by the other reviewers previous to myself on VT since I didn't share their experiences at all. Strangely, other download sites give this app an almost perfect five stars. VT users must be a more critical group. -
"A bug-ridden nightmare"
Version: Labels & Addresses 2.4.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
OK, $19.99 seemed reasonable for a program that would overcome the shortcomings of the Apple Address Book's lame printing features and help me with my Christmas mailing. 5 hours and an additional $19.99 to upgrade from the "home" edition which believe it or not, can't print a list of labels with different addresses I am no closer to my Christmas mailing. The program looks nice and has lots of good features and ideas (the "Family" option is brilliant, allowing you to change "Mr. Smith" to "The Smith Family", but unfortunately it's global and therefore useless) but it's just too flaky to use. To do a merge print you have to create a "print list" from your source database. Simple enough. Unfortunately there's a bug that's preventing any changes I make to the Print List from "sticking". I go through the steps to create one just fine and click "OK", but the Print List isn't created, or the odd times I have managed to create one, any changes I try to make are not saved. Printing mailing labels from an address book is a pretty darned basic computer function, it's hard to believe there isn't a decent one out for OSX. Ah, for the good old days of Dynodex for OS9... -
"Hard to Use"
Version: Labels & Addresses 2.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
If you have a DYMO label printer, stick with the DYMO application. For example, one click in that app will print the current label and leave your system un-fiddled-with. In Mail Factory, you must click for Print, click to accept, choose the label printer, click Print. And after that, Mail Factory doesn't switch back to your regular printer. You may not print your next document for a few minutes or a few days...but you'd better remember to manually switch back or else you'll be sending some 15 page Word doc to your label printer.
Mail Factory does have synchronization with your Entourage or Mail address books, and better support for printing lists of addresses. But one-offs are a pain.
