"LaunchBar is the best!"
Version: LaunchBar 5.1.3
Pros
Easy to use and most convenient.
Cons
None come yo mind
Summary
Most useful app.
-
"A must have product"
Version: LaunchBar 5.1.2
Pros
When I work on my PC I miss this application. Being able to launch an application rapidly is a big time saver. I do not use all the features, just the launching of applications.
Cons
Nothing negative
Summary
Buy it
-
"Works Great"
Version: LaunchBar 5.0.4
Pros
After you understand that it wants to understand you, its on!
Cons
Not with this app
Summary
It is great. Spend time with it in your 30 day trial. It can seem complicated at first but it is the smoothest "do anything you want with a few key stokes" app ever. I love being able to move files around in the back with just a few strokes (no more dragging).

Summary

"Unparalleled"
Version: LaunchBar 5.0.4
Pros
More useful than any other.

An indispensable application for fast navigation through the hierarchies of drives, files, folders.

Hate being on a computer without it. -
"Superb product."
Version: LaunchBar 5.0.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
When I use other Macs I am lost without this software.
LaunchBar can do what other launchers do but the other stuff is just amazing. I haven't used spotlight directly in nearly two years (which is a blessing) and the ability to jump between locations, folders, programs and projects easily without having to think cannot be replicated easily using another launcher as far as I know.
Superb! -
"Easy to use; gets you to an app or doc very quickly."
Version: LaunchBar 5.0rc4
Pros
So easy to use; it's intuitive.
Cons
Difficult to configure sometimes for those apps or docs that the program does not automatically jump to with its own very base AI.
Summary
Great addition to the finder. Gets you to the program or document that you want very quickly. If you're a touch typist, or if you prefer to use your keyboard to get where you're going, Launchbar is a must-have app.

"The MUST have util!"
Version: LaunchBar 5.0rc3

The most useful utility I know! -
"Essential piece of software"
Version: LaunchBar 5.0 beta 3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Not sure where the previous reviewer is coming from but in my experience, with well over 100,000 documents on my drive, Spotlight is virtually useless. Being able to locate key folders and documents almost instantly, without having to scroll through endless lists is just "expected behaviour" from this fantastic application. Now, with all the other add-ons - access to the Services menu in particular - makes this the very first application I install during a clean system install.
Wouldn't run a Mac without it.
