Works like a charm

This thing works great: I love being able to just set the max price I’m willing to pay, forget about it, and then, a few days later, get a notification on my phone that I’ve won an auction. The cluster function is also a great tool for when you’re bidding on multiple auctions for the same item.

That said, I have a few gripes. I cannot get the thing to sync with the iPhone app—in fact it deleted all my bids when I first installed the phone app. The interface is functional, but could be slightly better. For example, when deleting something from the snipe list, I sometimes don’t realize it’s gone and then click again and delete the next item (plus, in edit mode, you can’t see which auctions you have been outbid/won/etc.). Alerts bring up new windows for some reason. Finally—and I suppose this is trivial, but it’s irritating anyway—the name of the program is so long that it takes up literally more than a third of my menu bar. I understand the name’s for marketing purposes, but can’t it be changed inside the program?

In summary, it still works amazingly well and is worth every penny.
