BigOven InspiredCooking Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A couple of days ago I ran into some serious problems with my recipe software and started looking around for a new one to replace it. I happened upon this recipe software, downloaded it, and set about trying to convert my old program's recipes to the new format. My first attempts were fruitless so I posted to their forum and was quickly contacted by the staff who didn't just tell me how to fix it, they actually FIXED IT FOR ME. These guys are incredible! The previous reviewer who said their customer service is top-notch wasn't blowing smoke. I've never, ever had customer service this good. EVER.
And the program? It's terrific. I haven't had one problem with it. The nutritional database is vast and comprehensive, and it's not filled with nutritional data on processed food products (like my old software was), either. It actually has nutritional information for raw, whole foods.
The interface is very user friendly. It's clean and familiar and logically organized. Everything functions seamlessly.
I'm a professionally-trained chef and I'd recommend this to anyone--home and professional cooks alike!

Circus Ponies Notebook 3.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an avid note-take, both for my engineering job and as a freelance writer. I used MS OneNote when I had a PC, but when I migrated to a Mac, I was left searching for a suitable replacement. I have used Aquamind's NoteTaker and NoteShare for the last several months. But that program is so burdensome to use, I just couldn't take it any more. I finally landed on Notebook, which has been a great fit. It is similar to the Aquaminds product, but much easier to use and works better with Mac OS X. So far it has integrated perfectly with Address Book, Mail, Grabber, Services, and other Mac system elements. Some of the best features are stickies and flags, as well as the Multidex, which creates an index of your Notebook on the fly using several different parameters (e.g., capitalized words, highlighted text, check boxes, flags, web clippings, attachments, etc.). This allows me to quickly find project information, web clippings, etc. Notebook also allows you to record audio notes, and if you take notes or type while audio is recorded, it keeps track of where during the audio the typing was done. Another very neat feature is that you export a full Notebook as an interactive web page and it behaves very similarly to the actual notebook. I have used this when I wanted to send project notes to a colleague. I exported the notebook and he was able to work it in his browser. Notebook also syncs to-dos with iCal, but I don't use this feature very much. I use Things for my To-Dos, which is a great program is you have lots of tasks and projects with a multitude of To-do's.
What about areas for improvement? The program acts a little funky sometimes when I use OS X's spelling corrector on the fly. The program will occasionally appear to freeze, but it does come back to life. There are other program tweaks that would be nice, but they are not significant enough to list out here. Notetaker has just the right features and is just comprehensive enough to not get in the way of taking notes.

Biztools Pro Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this program hoping that it would have "100% genuine software applications that don't expire or require an upgrade purchase." This is false advertisement. all of their software require a subscription to access 100's of templates. what you purchase on CD are a few (2-3) useless templates for each program. You will have to pay $29-$150 a year for each program to fully utilize their outdated software. The Cd has a error and cannot install on its own you will have to individually install 7 or 8 programs the others 40+ programs will have errors. Worse purchase ever.

AnyTime Organizer Deluxe 12 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have recently downloaded the Anytime Organizer Deluxe 12 from Amazon. After having used it for awhile, I can say that it does everything that it is suppose to do and appears to be stable. I know from reading the reviews of the CD-ROM version and previous versions that many users have been frustrated by bugs and installation issues. I can report that so far I have had no problems. This is part of the reason why I chose to download it from Amazon instead of purchasing a hard copy; I felt that I was likely to get the most current version with the bugs worked out (that, and it's significantly cheaper). I would strongly recommend updating the program when you first run it.
Having upgraded to Windows 7, I could no longer use my older version of Outlook and needed an affordable alternative that would keep my schedules, contacts, to do lists, notes and the like and sync it all with my Pocket PC. (There are many syncing options to choose from when installing for the first time, such as Pocket PC, Palm, various phones, etc.) The Organizer has many options when syncing that allow me to manage exactly what I need to have between my calender and PDA. Having decided to give version 12 a try, I'm glad I did. I find it to be full-featured and easy to use. Once I got the hang of the interface, I believe I actually like this better than Outlook. Of course, it's simpler in many ways but that's a plus for me. Tasks like making re-occuring appointments and adding new catagories are very easy. It has many nice features like an expense record, daily journal entry, schedule ticker, password organizer, and the ability to print info in various page formats. Also, something that I did not expect, If I want to send an email from the contacts screen all I have to do is click on the contact and then the email button, and it automatically opens up my email program and selects a new message to the chosen contact. That may not seem like much to some, but for me that's a multi-step process that I no longer have to go through.
As with anything, there are some things I would like to see it do better. It doesn't always read appointment info and times correctly from the PDA and I often have to manually correct some data. The interface screens are a little simplistic looking and doesn't have the sharp professional look that Outlook has. Things like that.
All in all, I am very pleased to be able to sync my schedule and contact info with my PDA again and to have an integrated desktop scheduling system that meets my needs. All for a very affordable price. I'm happy.
