I’m surprised by how many useless apps they threw in.
Well, I only use 3 of the apps and the $5 I paid was more than worth it.
As somebody who was stupid enough to fall for this scam, let me warn you: DON’T pay money for this! Out of the 11 apps in this bundle the provided activation codes didn’t work for 3 of them. 2 other apps simply can’t be opened after you have installed them. You just get an error message saying that “This app can’t be opened, because it comes from an unknown developer”. And with one of the apps, after installing it, you just get an error message saying that “Dekstop Jump” is damaged – You must move it to the trash” ! An utter waste of time and money! Last time I fall for this.
try hitting up support, they’ll give you another download link and you should be in good shape. IT isn’t a scam – they’ve been doing this for years.
I followed the instructions noted for Jump Desktop and the install worked fine. There is a warning on the download instructions saying to follow exactly to not break your activation. Give it a try. You have to move the download to your applications folder, then double-click app, don’t press anything on the app and click the ‘retrieve license’. Download that file and the app registers automatically.
When you get the error message ” This app can’t be opened, because it comes from an unknown developer”, simply right click and select open instead of double clicking on the app. You will then receive the same error message but will have the option to open the app anyways. This is a very common error message on macs and 3rd party software.
The only app I wanted – Jump Desktop – will not work. Once downloaded, it says that it is damaged and to move it to the trash. What a rip off. Can I get a refund?
Their support is pretty exceptional in my experience. Give it a try – you’ll get a download again link and all should be right in the universe
I apologize for my earlier “rip off” comment. It was stupid. I’ll await a support response from the Jump Desktop folks. I was actually interested in Jump Desktop after logmein’s discontinuation news yesterday. The current price of this bundle is a great bargain compared the typical going rate of $30 for the app. Looking forward to using it.
Just got a new link for Jump Desktop, and it works fine.
They acknowledged a temporary problem, but it appears fixed now.
@ Lars Pallesen for “This app can’t be opened, because it comes from an unknown developer” that is a known security protocol in Mavericks (and Mountain Lion prior), simply right click the app and select open, or go to your system prefs > Security & Privacy and change the permissions to allow apps downloaded from anywhere. Change it back when you are done, if you desire.
Snagit is fantastic, as a tech writer Sangit has been my favorite too for screenshots for nearly a decade. It’s a specialty tool, but if you need it there’s nothing better.
