Tried many times to get it working on my wifi time machine (802.11n), but its just too slow. I've let it sit working for up for 20 minutes, and it still doesnt provide anything to show. Maybe would work better on an attached drive
Update #2:
I emailed the developer and he responded that he was working to get the page to display in English. He sounded sincere. I am no longer concerned that his site is a scam.
Update:
I got the English PayPal page by clicking on Kaufabwicklung fortsetzen on the German page, which took me to a page with a form. I entered USA where it asks for Land. This took me to an English page where I entered my username and password to pay. PayPal emailed me that the transaction had taken place.
I tried to purchase the app and was taken to a paypal site that was in German. When I tried to translate the site with Google, I was told that the URL is bogus.
This is a really cool app that (finally) lets you browse Time Machine backups in a way that's consistent with the rest of the Mac GUI. As a technician I expect to be using this regularly.
This app easily gives you the "what" to go along with the "when" for TimeMachine backups. Very nice!
