    "A wonderful time saver and frustration remover."

    December 4, 2011  |   By misc15

    Version: SizeUp 1.3.2

    Pros

    Works flawlessly.
    Works seamlessly with OS X and all Apps.
    Saves time and frustration.
    The default keystroke commands are so easy to remember and fast.

    Cons

    The only con is on Apple for not delivering this capability with every Mac.

    Summary

    I started using Macs in 1984 but switched to Windows for business reasons. When I came back to Macs in my retirement the one Window's feature I missed was the better window sizing in Windows. Sizeup is better than Mac and Window's resizing.
    I used the demo version for about 6 months waiting for OS X Lion because rumor was that Lion would have much better window handling characteristics. OK, Lion does a little better than Snow Leopard, but nowhere near as good as SizeUp.

    "Fantastic and So Easy."

    June 8, 2011  |   By misc15

    Version: SizeUp 1.2.1

    Pros

    A must have for every OS X user.
    Easy. Great interface. Great choices.
    With Sizeup, OS X window size controls are as good as MS Windows.

    Cons

    License price versus demo. I will continue to use demo which gives me infrequent messages offering to license.
    Might not be needed once Lion is installed.

    Summary

    I bought my first Mac in 1984 and have never understood why MS Windows has better window size controls. MS Windows still wins this small battle, until Sizeup.

    "Must-have productivity tool for multiple monitors!"

    January 21, 2011  |   By paulbergen

    Version: SizeUp 1.2.1

    Pros

    Great shortcut keys for moving windows from one monitor to the next (aka - Ultramon for Windows users); simple to customize; works like a charm.

    Cons

    None, I can't go back to not having this!

    Summary

    If you have a large screen iMac and often need to see two application windows at once, you need this. If you have multiple monitors, you simple can't live without SizeUp!

    SizeUp allows you to quickly snap windows to a side, corner, top or bottom of any screen... or you can cycle the active windows through your multiple monitors quickly (I use three monitors).

    SizeUp also has great support and is fantastic value all around. This is one of the must-have Mac utilities out today.

    "Should've been included with OSX"

    January 20, 2011  |   By firetom01

    Version: SizeUp 1.2.1

    Pros

    Fantastic productivity tool. A must have for anyone who does more than one thing at a time (so for everyone really). Very functional, easy to use, and intuitive.

    Cons

    Only gripe is lack of a global sort feature automatically sorting all open windows, but I'm not sure this software was designed to do that in the first place.

    Summary

    This software should've been included with snow-leopard (kinda like it is on windows 7). Download it, I can't imagine using my mac without it now.

    "Works flawlessly."

    November 3, 2010  |   By jasdlkajsdlkj

    Version: SizeUp 1.2.1

    Pros

    Sizeup is easy to use, easy to setup and saves tons of time reorganizing and resizing windows.

    Cons

    None that I can see.

    Summary

    Why bother dragging windows to fill up half the screen, when you can do it instantly with a quick shortcut.
    Also sizeup is easy to incorporate into one's workflow with customizable shortcut keys.
    Oh yeah, and it works perfectly with dual monitor setups.

    "Thanks Sizeup for changing my workflow!"

    September 30, 2010  |   By Heyang

    Version: SizeUp 1.2.1

    Pros

    I can size multiple windows with a few quick keyboard shortcuts (if you don't like the default shortcuts, write your own!). Quick & Easy

    Cons

    I wish there was a feature that would recognize all the windows on the desktop and place them all accordingly. Although this is great, I still have to click onto the window and then place it accordingly.

    Summary

    Built onto most desktops is a window organizer that allows you to bring all windows to front, etc, I wish this would automatically take the most recent four (or 2) windows and place them into their quadrants without having to click on each window.

    No time for a big review, but I use this constantly. It should be a part of the OS. The developer has made an awesome utility. Thanks!

    Version: SizeUp 1.2.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    SizeUp has quickly become one of my indispensable utilities. It's incredibly useful for opening side-by-side Finder windows for moving/copying/organizing files, etc. Simple, elegant, and inexpensive.

    "Makes window management easy"

    October 29, 2009  |   By pappyjiii

    Version: SizeUp 1.2

    Pros

    Love to the ability to send windows to different quadrants so I can view and work on them at the same time. Easy to install. "Pay what you want" pricing... worth at least $5-$10 bucks.

    Cons

    None that I can tell yet.
