Great, from someone who is pretty critical

I’m a software engineer myself, so I’m pretty picky about my applications. (Yeah, I know that sounds elitist, but I’m trying to make a point…).

I don’t often rate apps, since I don’t have full confidence in the rating process — lots of ‘fixed’ reviews. Anyhow, when I do come across a great app, though, I need to talk it up. This one’s the latter. It does what it says it does, is super fast, light weight and easy to use.

If I need to make a critique, it’s that I HATE popups on load, which tell me about BETTER software I can buy. It pretty much says “Hey, sucker — you just wasted your time searching for and downloading a good looking app, because here’s something better!” Sort of dings my ego, I s’pose. Insead, might I suggest that you put a link in the menu with a flow such as: “Like this app? Check out our others!” Since I do like your app, I’ll gladly check out your others.

Anyhow, for those looking for a basic de-duper, this one is A-OK.

To those whining about the strange process to delete dupes from Mac Photos/iPhoto, I can attest that this is a minor inconvenience, necessary due to the complex way Apple designed that app and its folder structure. The fact that this app can process an i/Photo/s library is FANTASTIC, and totally worth the extra 60 seconds it takes to read the screen and do what it tells you.

Great job, Systweak Software!
