Thanks for the review. I've been thinking about purchasing this program for my T-Mobile. Maybe I'll wait and see if I win a free copy.
Wait, I never win!!
Great review.

Looks like a neat program. I could use some help getting rid of unwanted stuff. I appreciate the chance to win.

also check out Tillanosoft's SpaceFinder (& other excellent utilities too)
http://www.tillanosoft.com/ce/sfinder.html
I used to use WIMR too before I found this. And there's a freeware version of the product which simply excludes the pie chart view.

A well written program & good support by the author.

OK, so far I count 4 different apps that do pretty much the same thing. That's basically the same through all of the apps I've seen. There are a dozen apps in a category, but each is slightly different. For example, I recently downloaded and tried out about a dozen database apps for the PPC one at a time trying to figure out which one had the features to do the job I needed.
Why is it that we never see any head-to-head comparisons here on dear old PPCT? I've seen in depth reviews of hardware and software, and I've seen some pretty interesting hardware comparisons, but I don't recall seeing four (very) similar apps lined up and put through their paces. It would be very nice to see a review that shows the pros and cons of each app or at least a spreadsheet of feature sets side by side. There's no reason to get into a "this is best" kind of mindset. Just give me a comparison of features, some comments on ease of use, a price, and I'll make up my own mind about which one is best for me.

We do try to do this from time to time (see my comparison between Scrabble and WordGame) and I'm actually working on one for File Explorer alternatives.
You've gotta admit, though, that such articles DO take a lot of time and effort. We'll try to do more of them.
In all fairness, though, this article was meant to be a description of a single application, which I think is needed if any amount of detail is to be provided. Maybe in these situations we should try to do a single review of each similar application and then ultimately provide a comparison chart. |
Yea, I do remember the comparison between Scrabble and WordGame now that you've reminded me. That's exactly the kind of thing I'd love to see more of. And yes, I know they do take a lot of time and effort. But, hey, I'm worth it!
And by the way, don't take the suggestion as a knock against anything I do read here. I only mentioned it because everyone in the Forum was mentioning other apps that did the same thing (more or less) and I thought such a comparison article had merit. I love the quick and dirty reviews, too. The more the better.

I was afraid you'd say that.

Program sizes?
Sometimes we also need to find out how much space an installed program took, that might have installation files strewn throughout the file system. Sometimes, I install a series of same-type programs to test & compare them & I'd like to be able to compare their installed sizes. Some programs do specify theirs, others don't. Sometimes I just wanna know how big the program is, so that I can decide whether to keep it (how necessary it is), or whether I should install it on an external storage card.
One way I do this is to use ActiveSync's Add/Remove Programs. This doesn't work for all programs. The program I usually rely on for this is Citadel Development's PocketTools. This free program has tons of other features, & I think we should try it out, it's free after all. I don't know how accurate these programs are in showing program sizes though.
