Reading, Writing, Wanderlust, and Commentary
My review of PDF Editor Pro is now up (as of yesterday, actually) on the Macworld website.
PDF Editor Pro is a wannabe replacement for Preview that has some features unavailable in Apple’s built-in all purpose image editing app, but it lacks the depth, versatility, and simplicity of Preview at a price that’s significantly higher than free.
Macworld has just posted my Status Board review, which also includes a nice video review by the lovely Leah Yamshon.
Status board is a pretty cool app and one that fit a need that one of my consulting customers had recently. In fact, I had been looking long and hard for something like this, but couldn’t find ANYTHING like it.
Not for everyone, but for those in need of something like Status Board, I’m betting you won’t find anything better.
My review of Leister Productions Reunion 10 is now live at Macworld.com.
As has been the case with nearly every iteration of this, Reunion 10 improves in ways that will make it easier for you to catalog your family history.
Still my favorite app of this sort for your Mac.
My review of the Write App for Dropbox is now up on Macworld.com.
Write, which is designed to help you make quick work of creating Markdown formatted text on your iPhone or iPod touch is the best Dropbox text editor I’ve used on my phone. Intelligently designed and amazingly easy to use, Write adds a keyboard extension that not only makes Markdown easy to add to your text, it also simplifies cursor movement and text selection.
Check out my review then go pick yourself up a copy of the app.
Pretty nice app, but what I’m really surprised by is how much I now like QuickBooks Online. For the first time EVER, I may be considering a move from my old faithful to QuickBooks Online.

And now… time to finish my taxes.
My review of OfficeTime is now live at Macworld.com. It’s a great little time billing app that has a lot to offer, but which doesn’t yet rise to the level of apps like Marketcircle’s Billings app.
