LittleSnapper reviewed by Macworld USA and UK!
It's been a busy couple of weeks for LittleSnapper reviews with both the US and UK Macworld magazines reviewing LittleSnapper!
Macworld UK reviewed LittleSnapper in its recent Autumn 2009 edition - and were kind enough to award LittleSnapper 5 stars and an Editors' Choice award! Macworld's buying advice was very clear:
LittleSnapper is an indispensible application for all web designers; the sheer joy at not having to stitch together shots is itself worth the asking price. But the additional annotation, sharing and editing options make it worth investigating for anybody involved with the web.
The folks at Macworld magazine in the US also published a review of LittleSnapper 1.5 on their Mac Gems blog recently - and we're excited to see it awarded 4 coveted mice! Here's a choice quote from the review:
LittleSnapper’s user interface displays a level of finesse, found only in the best of Mac software, that makes the program a joy to use.
It goes without saying that we're hard at work on LittleSnapper (and of course RapidWeaver) - expect more LittleSnapper and RapidWeaver news soon!
RapidWeaver 4: Reviewed and Updated
Whilst we've been hard at work on RapidWeaver 4.2.3 fixing a few issues that users have been encountering, a copy of this month's MacFormat dropped through the letterbox at Realmac HQ. In the June 2009 edition of the magazine (available now at a newsagent near you) there's a group test of OS X website creation apps. RapidWeaver was up against stiff competition in a test of 6 applications, but we were super-excited to discover that MacFormat crowned RapidWeaver the group test winner with this choice quote:
[RapidWeaver is] easy enough to use for a beginner, but offers great value in its scope for expansion.
We're absolutely thrilled to see RapidWeaver take the honours in a large group test, and to keep people weaving even more rapidly, we're also releasing RapidWeaver 4.2.3 today - an update that we strongly encourage all RapidWeaver 4.2.2 users to download. This update fixes a number of issues, including linking to blog posts and assets, as well as significant improvements in memory usage when saving files.
As always, you can grab the latest version of RapidWeaver from our Downloads page, or use RapidWeaver's 'Check for Updates' option to download the update.
5 Mice for LittleSnapper!
The first printed review for LittleSnapper is finally in, and I'm glad to say it's positively glowing. The lovely folk over at MacUser awarded LittleSnapper a rather impressive 5/5 mice!
As you can probably guess, everyone here at Realmac HQ is absolutely thrilled with the rating and the following verdict is the icing on the cake:
“If you create screen grabs for a living, write technical manuals or need to snap on-screen material for a blog, this is a truly useful, innovative tool.”
If you want to read the full review, it appears in MacUser (Vol 25, No 04), and is available at all good news-stands now.

Here at Realmac HQ, we recently received a surprise package from the other side of the world. After the run of great reviews from the UK Mac press, it was great to see a copy of Australian Macworld magazine with a review of RapidWeaver 4 drop through the letterbox!
Whilst the review may be short it's certainly very sweet, proclaiming that RapidWeaver 'takes the pain out of web publishing'. Reviewer Tim Haddock awards RapidWeaver a very respectable 4.5 Mice rating and concludes the article:
“RapidWeaver 4.0 strikes just the right balance between customisability and ease of use.”
This flattering review appears in the very latest issue, August 2008, which is available at Australian (and New Zealand) news-stands now!
Read MoreRapidWeaver 4 reviewed by iCreate
After some great reviews in MacUser, MacFormat and Macworld UK, RapidWeaver 4 has been reviewed by UK Mac magazine iCreate.
The team at iCreate were impressed with the user experience in the application calling it 'extremely Apple-ish', and awarded RapidWeaver a 4-star rating. Appearing in Issue 58, which is available today, the review is full of praise for RapidWeaver 4 - here's just one quote from the article:
“For those who want just that little bit more [than iWeb] in terms of flexibility and features, RapidWeaver makes a lot of sense. It avoids the expense and plethora of features provided by the likes of DreamWeaver while being easily capable of producing advanced and professional-looking domestic and commercial websites.”
The iCreate write-up completes the set of reviews from all the major Mac magazines here in the UK, and we're thrilled with how RapidWeaver has fared. Achieving nothing less than 4 out of 5, it proves that RapidWeaver 4 really is the best version of RapidWeaver ever!
