Have Application Purchase Regret?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "Pocket PC Software" @ 09:30 AM
Many of us here do not run perfectly vanilla devices. We like to install one or two (on the low side) or even 10 or more third-party applications. However even though trial versions exist, sometimes it can be very tempting to buy something only to find a few weeks later that it wasn't the best purchase. I personally have dozens of registration codes in my eWallet for programs I though were uber-cool, and later found weren't as uber-useful as I had hoped. Want an example? OK - here's one: Calligrapher
Now don't get me wrong. Calligrapher is a great product. It works well, it's widely used, and has many featureas that power users can leverage quite well. However when I found the product, I forgot one critical thing about myself: my handwriting is aweful. Really bad. So bad that I worked hard to make my own font so I can type notes out in actual legible handwriting. And that means I don't really like to write. Not liking to write = not wanting to use Calligrapher that often. It's a shame too, but I suppose something to learn from.
Now it's your turn to share. Do you have Application Buyers Remorse or Regret? Feel free to name the application and why it wasn't a great fit for you!
