iSnap App Reviews

Until they add support for this, not a particularly useful app.

Got this app when it was free. It is very useful. Love the key shortcuts, and the shake animation. My only complaint is that while using a second monitor the app behaves strange. If I want to move a window to my second screen, it thinks I want to move it to the edge. Hope this is fixed in an update. Really loving the app.

I think the app can be refined more. As with asthetics, I suggest to simplify the tray icon. the purple box looks weird.

Bad app experience. Doesnt work with Google Chrome. Doesnt work with multiple monitors. Shake to minimize is way to sensitive and buggy. Stay away.

whenever you try to drag a window to another monitor it thinks you are draggin it to a hot spot and snaps it to the primary screen. uninstalled.

Forget the negative reviews you will read here. If you are like me and you just want to be albe to simply manage the apps on your desktop then iSnap does just that. Its simple to use and it just works. Oh, and its free at least for now. Much thanks to the author of this little gem.

This simple app adds the one feature of Windows 7 that Mac OS X is missing: the ability to quickly snap windows in place on your screen. This program works great with iWork, which is what I really wanted it for. The only thing its missing is the ability to snap non selected windows into place automatically as you are dragging your selected window around, but otherwise this is a nice app!

but for that you need to be in the resize window mode. So start resizing the window, and then touch the hot edge of the desktop to resize. This trick doesnt work for MS Office though … Still, good enough I can finally drop Divvy.

Being a regular user of both Windows and Mac OS X, one feature I wanted in Mac OS X was Windows Aero Snap feature. iSnap enables it without many problems, including keyboard shortcuts! There are a few applications that dont seem to work with iSnap, mainly the Microsoft Office suite, but I find myself needing to manually adjust the window sizes there anyway. Overall, this is worth a go.

No Chrome or MS Office capability? No thanks.

Quadruples ur productivity! Thank you for making my life a bit more pleasant!

The one thing I miss about my windows machine is the aero snap for side by comparison. This app totally gives you that same functionality, and actually is a little better in that when I have two windows in parallel, all I have to do is move the cursor over the window to make it "active". This allows you to scroll documents without having to first click on the window you want to make it "active", like you do in windows. That is huge. That might just be a feature of OSX, but it plays nicely with this app. I have heard, but not tried, that it doesnt work with Office. Also, Im missing the "drag to top to make full size" feature of Aero snap. Dragging to top gives you a resized window thats vertically half, which is interesting but not terribly useful for me. Using MBP 10.8.2 (ML)

To start: I love this app and think its one of the most potentially useful things on my laptop. However, there appear to be a couple glitches that detract from it, which I shall now list: *It does not work with all applications, often ones I need it to (Chrome/Chromium for example) *It sometimes does not scale things all the way, but I believe thats actually an issue with individual programs scaling limitations rather than iSnap. If it werent for this not working with Chromium, Id be giving 8 stars instead of 4, so fix that, and I will love this app forever.

It is alright. I doesnt work for everything, but that doesnt matter so much, because I dont need to use it for everything. The only complaint I really have is that it adds yet another icon on my title bar. I have enough up there, for a simple keyboard activated app, I dont need a visible icon for it.

I mean this is one of Microsofts best ideas yet and I have to admit I really miss it on the mac. Well this app gives you that and more, with nice shortcuts and great ways to arrange the windows. The problem for me is that there is a bug that when you use a shortcut to place the window on the left, right, top etc and then try to highlight text in Safari, it immediately removes the window from where you just placed it. If you actually drag the window and make it "snap" this doesnt happen, only when using the shortcut. Also, as someone noted, this is not working with Microsoft Office 2011, which is a major downside, since I use it all the time for school. Once those bugs are fixed I would give it 5 stars

I like this little app because windows 7 and 8 both have this feature built in. However it doesnt seem to work with dual monitorsl. You will drag a window over to your second screen and the app pops back to either the left or right side of the screen.

I just wish you could maximize a window by dragging it to the top. This is how it works in windows 7. An obvious 5 stars when it does that and adds google chrome support.

this works on my Google Chrome so im not sure what everyone else is complaining about. Good job devs.

Does what it says it does most of the time. Though some have said it does not work wtih chrome thats not entirely true. You cant drag a chrome window to make it work, but if you pull a resize handle from a chrome window into the activation zone, it will work. When the application is running it globally defeats the move by word function of the option+arrow. Regardless of wether the shortcuts in the iSnap are enabled or not, which is a total drag.

Apparently still doesnt work with chrome, incognito or not, and doesnt work with microsoft word either. Real shame. But if you ONLY use safari, go ahead. Its a real shame that the most productive apps (the ones that need snap) are the ones that dont work...
