Meh.

It's lame, the program is buggy as hell and its user-unfriendly. A complete waste of my time downloading it, as it was writing the review for it.

Love the Safari integration

The Safari integration in the latest update is a big step up - I also much prefer that the interface now matches the desktop experience.

Great idea!

I love the concept, and it's bound to get better. But it keeps crashing.
