The idea that an app can't be criticized unless you're an app developer is pretty ridiculous, I hope you realize that.
I don't understand Apple's Sandboxing. What I do understand is that in the App store, when you go to purchase the app, *it shows Mac Mail as one of the applications being used*, along with GrowlTunes, so I don't think it's unreasonable for me to have expected it to, say, work with Mac Mail and mac applications. Do you? It's $3.99. Is that a lot of money? No. If that's such a negligible amount to you, though, you're more than willing to send me $3.99. You'll be better off than I am, since at least you won't have expected anything positive for your money. I honestly should have just refunded my purchase right after I made it, but the rave reviews across the internet had me thinking I was just missing some aspect of it that would let it do what I wanted (and indeed, what the app preview photos show it can do). If this is a learning experience, it's taught me to just never pay for an application.
