The application is as simple as possible. And the price would be reasonable if the list of supported applications was larger (for now developer site declares support of 76 applications which is way too few).
When I used a trial version, I sent a request to add hotkeys for one application. And a few days later I received a response that hotkeys to that application were added at my request. Unfortunately, after that, I bought the full version, hoping that such updates would be regular. But, in the past few months, none of my requests were added. And about a 70-80% of the applications I use are not supported.
Yes, you can add hotkeys manually, but it takes time. And how does this application increase your productivity in that case? You can just save needed hotkeys to pdf file and view it through alt+tab which could take even less time.
Also, the app even doesn't have an option to start on system loading, even if you add it to autostart menu
Conclusion: If the developers had bothered to initially make a larger database of supported applications or regularly released updates (at least once a month), and added autoload support, it would be a good application. Now it's a waste of money.
Basically a popup that has SOME programs' hotkeys pre-populated. Hasn't been updated in forever and the devs don't appear to have tried to add new data or features. It works for what it is but offers less function than something you could throw together with python or autohotkey in about ten minutes. Abandonware.
I don't agree with the last review. I've bought a license and like the app. The license is forever, you have 2 weeks to trial the app. And you can customize any of the cheat sheets, or add new ones yourself. Plenty of settings. Perhaps you tried an old version?
Meh
