Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1
"never got activation number or receipt and no refund"
Pros: terrific advertising
Cons: no delivery of product, no receipt, no activation code and won't refund my money, taking legal action
Summary: too bad these kinds of companies exist (and they're successful merely by existing)

Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1
"good,just..so buggy, but ut's the best"
Pros: when it works it is superb, ,fast and accurate, and a useful list of new applications for the mac.
Cons: It quits unexpectedly far too often, and the version numbers are often incorrect, sometimes suggesting I downgrade to an older verion( dodgy for those who do't know the dangers!) A problem which is happening now , it wont accept my login A Pain!

Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.5.1
Pros: I really liked this product back in the old days but it now can't connect to the server rendering a key feature useless.
Cons: It is unable to connect to the server that tells it about software updates rendering it somewhat useless.
