FileFind for PalmOS

Tue Oct 24, 2006 - 12:13 PM EDT - By Xious Sonenberg

Not quite ready for primetime

Surely, we can do better than this!

I’m being generous and giving FF an Overall rating of 2 due to the 14-Day evaluation period. At least you can try it for yourself and decide if it does something you can’t live without, before coughing up that $8 for it, which you may later regret.

It’s sad really, as Tamoggemon has a few nifty apps out there. Their Palm Binary Clock is a cool program and well put together to boot, but FileFind needs a lot of work before it’s going to be worth paying for. At present, I think it should be a freely distributed program, so that the developers can get user feedback on what it needs. Until it at least has “Cancel Search” and “Start New Search” buttons where appropriate, and an incoming call, SMS or alert can bust through the wall of silence it throws up during a search, it simply isn’t that useful nor recommended.
