Hello forum members

I just became a member of this forum

Great job forum crew!

Yesterday I read that there is a cure for diabetes on www.healthcaredaily.org Can diabetes seriously be cured? The website www.healthcaredaily.org looks legit

Could you someone tell me if this healthcare information is for real?

Thanks a lot

I forgot to note, AppFresh desperately needs to simply let you create your own folder and let you drag and drop apps into it so you can just keep custom apps up to date. Otherwise, this thing just bogs down too much and is pretty useless to me.

Yeah, versiontracker nor macupdate seems to want to list this app. It makes me lose respect for both of them. If you do your job well enough, apps like this shouldn’t be much of a threat anyway, huh?

hey indianboy,

punctuation marks make text readable give it a try the application developers requested macupdate to list their app but macupdate didnt reply to their request the website endured some heavy traffic during the first preview releases but bandwidth problems should be resolved now.

Guess the site is working again. Never mind my comment about it being not accessible :)

I tried to access their site but seem to have failed. Did any one else get access to their site today? I checked macupdate and they do not host the app but I currently am paying $10 a year for macupdate to send me emails when ever an app gets updated that I have added to may watch list but this app might be a more convenient alternative to manage app updates on condition it automatically sweeps my system for all the apps I have installed and lets me know which ones need to be updated. I am looking forward to trying this app. Thanks for the post.

Haven’t tried anything in the way of widgets, but it did find several apps that I didn’t know had updates available for them. So far this looks nice, and hopefully will be a rockin app for OS X. Been a long time something decent like this has been needed for the Mac platform.

The tool looks really nice, but the widgets "Application Update" and "Widget Update" written by Georg Kaindl (blog.gkaindl.com/downloads) are faster, find more updates and does not point to 404-pages when you try to download an update...

All in all, AppFresh is a nice try, but it's really version 0.4.

Cheers, Niels
