This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using this every day for around three weeks now, and it's been a pleasent surprise. Often speciality software can be rough and unfriendly, but MacBreakZ looks polished and "Mac-like" and is easy to use. It's unobtrusive, except when it's not meant to be, and pleasent even when it is obtrusive. I'd highly recommend this software to anyone.
not that great

It does what it supposed to do, but it does it with no charm.
Like listening to Windows Media Player.
Way too expansive.
