Hi All, In connection with the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend, when there are sales to start off the Christmas shopping season, a number of interesting sales have shown up in the Mac App Store. These prices look good through the weekend, and may last through "Cyber Monday". (No guarantees on that.)
Here are a few of the items I've noted. All these versions require that your run Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later: • ABBYY FineReader Express $49.99 (50% off regular price of $99.99) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/abbyy-finereader-express/id412310371?mt=12 • 1Password - Password Manager and Secure Wallet $34.99 (regular price $49.99) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1password-password-manager/id443987910?mt=12 • Paprika Recipe Manager $9.99 (50% off regular price of $19.99) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paprika-recipe-manager/id451907568?mt=12 Bento - Personal Database is also on sale at $29.99 (vs. regular list price of $49.99), but given the low ratings since this was updated for Mountain Lion, and the reports of the constant busy signals when used with VoiceOver under Mountain Lion, this is probably not recommended. ABBYY FineReader Express (OCR application) and 1Password have been discussed on list recently. Paprika Recipe Manager is a relatively new program that I just got and really like. The developers did a great job with VoiceOver accessibility. Their iOS apps for iPhone and iPad, which are also on sale this weekend, can be used independently of the Mac version, but I decided to get this to more easily bulk import my text versions of recipes and sync to iOS devices. You can also import recipes from MacGourmet, Yummy Soup, and other popular recipe programs to your iOS devices. Using the desktop version of the program and the automatic cloud syncing with the iOS apps just seemed a bit easier than connecting an iPhone and using iTunes sync to bring the recipes over. If anyone is interested in the details of importing text versions of recipes, I'll do a later post. There's a brief description/example of the format in the Paprika User Guide and you name your text files with ".yml" file extensions. I'll do a separate post on the iOS apps that are on sale. HTH.
