- LittleSnapper ($39) - capture, edit, organize and share images on your computer
- Acorn ($49.95) - photo editor "for the rest of us" with GPU acceleration
- Kinemac ($299) - generate professional real time 3D animations
- WireTap Studio ($69) - record, organize, edit and share sound from any application on your Mac

This is the first one I did.. iSale is a nice app, I had an older version.. same with Picturesque... Some of the others might come in handy someday!

Feel free to follow the link in my sig, I don't mind the referal!
 
It's a good deal if you're even looking at just one app. You're bound to find another one in the bundle you really like.
 
I wasn't sure how useful the apps would be for me, but I took the plunge last week. I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised at how much I have used the apps I got.

Yesterday a great app called Times was unlocked...I have to say that alone made MacHeist worth it for me. It has to be THE BEST RSS client I have used. The interface is very unique and easy to use.

Other apps I have gotten lots of use out of so far:
1. Delicious Library 2 (Simply Amazing!)
2. Acorn
4. Picturesque
5. Phoneview
6. WireTap Studio
7. Little Snapper (used daily)
And, as I said above, I use Times daily. It is now my main RSS feed reader.

I skipped number 3...lol. whoops. I'm gonna say that Kinemac is also a really really neat program. I have messed around with it, and I love it. But...I probably won't use it much.

I'm looking forward to messing around with Espresso and The Hit List when they get unlocked.
 
finally this is on the front page. i bought the bundle for iphone view, kinemac, wiretap, boinx tv. picturesque is a nice one too.

little snapper is great but i had it already. delicious library seems to be great but i have to see if I have use for it.

the games are nice but i'm not into computer games.

well, for me it's a good bundle already even without the last two apps.:)
 
OK, I bought the bundle as well and it seems to be one of those bundles geared with many things that will come in handy down the road. For me being a new mac user its a cool way to try a bunch of software on the cheap. Delicious is by far my favorite so far, and is worth the 40$ alone to me since I was already going to get it. (had been using the demo for a while)

Thank you to whomever used my referral link.
The mac community is truly great.
 
Good bundle

I love the MacHeist bundles. I usually jump on any bundles that are this inclusive even if I don't use all the apps. I think I'm subconsciously trying to repent for all my years in college on Hotline client.
 
App bundle

Sounds good. I might jump in if the last 2 Apps get unlocked. :eek:

Problem is, of course, that if that is a common strategy then they won't be unlocked. I confess to waiting until boinxtv was unlocked, then I jumped.

I'd encourage you to do it so I can get the last two, too. :)
 
I don't get it. What is the point of these "locked" apps?

Makes no sense to me.
 
i think i'll have to jump on this. i've been trying to justify the money to get a license for wiretap studio but $69 was too expensive for me. however, for $39 , i can get that plus some recipes for my wife and delicious library to try out for me. i'm always up for tryig another cataloging software. i currently use booxter. does DL have iphone portability?

When you buy the bundle, a portion of the sale goes to charity. The point is that once the amount of money raised reaches a certain amount, a new app is "unlocked".
 
I believe with this MacHeist you also get Multiwinia free if you've got a Twitter account.

It's not free if you have a Twitter account. It is only free if you use you Twitter account to spam everyone who is following you with a form letter tweet.

It's sleazy. Please don't spam your friends!

No sleazier than what other people do.
 
I also bought this on the first day. I was thinking that I would only be using 1/2 applications when I bought it, but have found myself using almost all of them. Acorn, Picturesque, iSale, WireTap Studio, Times, (trial) Espresso, (trial) Hit List and Multiwinia are all great.
