Sophisticated FTP client with all the features you could wish for. Highly recommended.

Great! Great! Great! Way better than Fetch or Cyberduck.

This is one of my "Can't Live Without" applications. It's the killer app that not even Windows fanboys can have! It is straight up, yummy!

Best FTP Client the Mac has to offer. Fast, reliable and not bad looking. Give it a try and you won't go back.

Great app.

But what's with the new icon?! Displaying a fake mouse pointer as part of an app's icon is such a bad idea.

I agree with mfichtner.

This app could need of a few extra bucks spent, hiring a designer so as to gain a higher visual overall level (including icon). I'm not saying it because I have a desire to sound negative, but this has been on my mind regarding this app, for a good while now. And because it's one of the most mysteriously unrecognized apps I can think of today, I find myself unable not letting it out.

A major reason behind the exorbitant hypeness of Transmit, as well as the large amount of people overlooking Yummy FTP, is due to the fact that the creators of Transmit devote great care to the necessity of visual delightfulness; an aspect that you simply cannot dodge in the competition between cutting edge Mac soft today. That's it. Icon is king. Along with a number of other details, of course. But the icon... Personally I'd argue that it's the single most important thing.

In comparison, Yummy FTP is a lot more trustworthy, a lot faster and simply has a lot more "roar" under the hood, than Transmit. Still, it lacks the looks of a real champion app. So, let's hear it for a substantial makeover.

January 8th 2008: Transmit, 3708 - Yummy FTP, 320.

I'll put everything I got, including two horrible cats and a lousy career on the bet that Yummy will be closing in by the end of the year, 31st of December 2008.

Though the icon is terrible, it's a great FTP app especially the seamless integration with textmate. I prefer it to Transmit, Cyberduck, and Flow.

I used it, loaded up several docs and it worked flawlessly...

I can see Skim being my main PDF viewer.

This application is totally awesome! Reading and annotating pdfs on screen is something I do extremely often and I'm infinitely grateful to the authors of this little gem. Another great feature is that it's presentation mode is much better than Preview's one (no obnoxious floating window, working "end" and "home" buttons). Great work!

This app instantly replaced Preview as my PDF reader of choice.

One of the best app´s discovered in time, no more Preview for pdf´s here!! thanks to the authors, keep it on!!

Sensational "must-have" appl.
It will not actually alter your .pdf file but wait until you see how it works !

Hmmm. I haven't stopped using it, mac2. What system are you running? What Mac? etc. ?

I love this app....but is there any way how I can use it with two column PDFs? Most scientific papers have several colums per page and if I want to highlight something around the line break it highlights the whole line across all columns....

This application is just so perfect for what I've always wanted to be able to do with PDF eTexts, comment on them as I read. Brillant.

tigerhawk: To highlight text in a column, use the square select tool. You can draw a box around the text you want and it will copy it to the notes field.

I often export these notes to a RTF file as a summary of key points.

This application is brilliant. It has totally replaced Preview as my PDF viewer.

Only problem I have encounter is complications with the software update function.

fantastic application, I couldn't use anything else for PDF's

Skim is much better than preview for viewing scientific PDFs. However, the program lacks proper support for selecting text in columns. Also, the highlight and underline tools need to be improved because often annotated text is hard to distinguish. The same goes for notes, whose appearance could be improved to resemble actual sticky notes. Adobe Acrobat does a better job of annotation but is a slower, bloated piece of software.

All of those complaining about the column issue, complain to apple, it is a bug in PDFKit and is, therefore, in every app that uses it (Skim, Preview, etc).

This is why it is not there in Acrobat, as it uses its own PDF rendering engine.
