What do you guys think of this bundle? I'm thinking the PDF editor and the Drive genius make the bundle worth it, but am curious if anyone else has had experience with these apps in the past.

Yeah, ultimately I decided against getting it. Looks like a bunch of apps I'd never use. I think the bundlehunter is better value and you can actually choose the apps you want.

Honestly if you're looking for a 'bundle' deal... I'd go with the Parallels 11 bundle for 79.99. It also includes 1 year of Parallels Access (remote access from your iPad)

Comes with:

1Password
Evernote Premium
Camtasia
Pocket Premium
PDFpenPro7
Snagit

Not sure about the others, but I use 1Password like a mofo... it works great.

And, FYI for PD 9/10 owners, the PD and PD Mac Pro upgrades @US$50 include those added apps/utilities too... I wanted to upgrade one of PD 10 licenses, but now I'm glad that I forgot to do it a month ago.

Honestly, I'm done with these "bundles". I bought one of them a few months ago and one last year, and all but one of them (in each bundle) were upgraded - for an upgrade charge, of course - within weeks. And, having to hand out my credit card info to 7-10 new devs for those upgrade charges just doesn't work for me. I pay for my SW and shareware and some subscriptions, but I've been through this IMHO "bait-and-switch" bit has gotten old - twice burned, forever shy now.

The bundle you refer to is from two years ago and no longer valid. I have no idea why it was not removed from their site. A more up to date one for 2015 is here:

It has:

1 Drive Genius 4 $99 Value
2 AfterShot Pro 2 $79.99 Value
3 PDFpen 7 $74.95 Value
4 Mixtape Pro $69.99 Value
5 MacX DVD Ripper Pro $59.95 Value
6 BusyContacts $49.99 Value
7 Prizmo 3 $49.95 Value
8 MotionComposer $29 Value
9 Dropzone 3 $10 Value

and costs $39.99. I bought it.
