Do you think anybody ever pays full price or buys all of these at once? You don’t see the marketing gimmick of telling you you’re getting a $350 savings, even though you probably won’t use at least a third of the apps?
Got a tip for us?

Black Friday: 'Applaudables' Bundle Offers 12 Mac Apps for $75

I agree. Assuming the deal is legit (which I assume it is, or it would be a very cavalier move from Mac Rumors to partner with them), it’s math. You either cherry pick things you want, or if you’re interested in somewhere near $75 of the discounted apps, why not get the bundle and try out others.
This might be the only ‘black Friday’ deal I purchase (though living outside the US, we get excluded from a lot of physical product deals), as there are several items they look interesting and the only one I already own is daisy disk (which is great).
Can we trust this website and buying these apps? (I am a newbie here) and recently bought a new Mac. Thank you
Yes. It's run by the developers behind Daisy Disk and Unclutter, and other than being a bit overzealous with some emails in the past about sales on those two titles, there's no problems with them I'm aware of. Many here have owned Daisy Disk for years.
I think it's a truthful statement that applies if you buy the whole bundle.
Do I think anybody ever pays full price? For individual apps? Yes, all the time. Would someone intentionally go out and buy all of these apps at the same time at full price? Probably not, but that doesn't change the fact that if you had your eye on at least some of these, it's a good opportunity to scoop them all up.
If you're not going to use at least $75 (discounted price) worth of the apps, then only buy the ones you actually will use. Or use them on Setapp. If you end up buying the whole bundle and won't use some of the licenses, give them to family or friends (assuming that's allowed).
By the time I added Path Finder, uBar, Daisy, Default Folder, etc. I was already at $65 so thought what the hell and bought the whole deal. Great stuff!
What features do you use in Toast? I put stuff together in Permute that gets saved as an ISO and then I burn that in Disk Utility.

thanksCheck online, ususally it's very easy to find, but for example to show all folder sizes and sort by size:
find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -exec du -hs {} \;
Obviously you run this in the root folder you want to analyse. Can be your main drive, but will take some time. Play around with the maxdepth and mindepth to get what you want.
But you get the gist. You can find commands to do loads of things with files and folders, it's a matter of googling only, and doesn't require installing or paying for any extra software.
List directories and their sizes in Mac OS X command line

I just bought the bundles. I like them, was trying to understand and how I can use the apps usefully. I found default folder X, TextSoap, Text Sniper and Unclutter useful for me.
The other apps nothing useful for me. Moreover, the AEONTIMELINE does not work for me and it was restarted over and over.
Can there be "Full Refund" please?
Thank you!
Half of the application did NOT properly download and could not be installed. I am not happy!
When I go to purchase eg. the actual price of Daisy Disk is €5.50 which is US$6.21 plus any currency conversion fee. Not ideal pricing / advertising. The RRP listed is also more than the actual regular price in my country's App Store so the saving advertised is not correct.
Small details but I would expect better from a MR deal listed on the front page...

You can ask the refund. I was fully refunded. I needed text snipper and daisy disk ( I bought both and costed me less than <20 USD )
Thanks Salai Joseph!
It's true. If you don't like the app(s) you purchase via our "The Applaudables" bundle and want a refund - we return your money back.
However, I always prefer to try and solve the problem before giving up.
By the way, if you have issues downloading apps, please try another browser. That usually helps.
