> Airmail for Mac is a new third party mail client that not only supports a plethora of account types, but is also one of the most visually appealing email apps for Mac I've ever used. For users who are still clutching onto Sparrow while waiting for a viable alternative, you may just find your solution in Airmail.

> If Apple's making money on the Mac Pro, despite it being a niche machine, one can argue that it still deserves a place of respect in the Mac lineup.



**** Listacular For Dropbox Review ****

Michael Simon, Mac Life


> To make a great task manager, three criteria need to be met: Simple list creation, easy gestures, and effortless syncing. With a clean, flat design and versatile text options, Listacular for Dropbox hits every note and then some. Listacular sports a minimal interface subtly influenced by a sheet of loose-leaf paper, but what it lacks in color and pizzazz, it makes up for in intuitiveness.



**** Untappd (For iPhone) ****

Jill Duffy, PC Magazine


> Untappd is one of the best beer mobile apps available because of its incredible community, but it's not a great app in any other sense. The user interface design needs to be standardized and more thoroughly tested, as does the search functionality. The developers shouldn't rest on their laurels just because they have a large and active community. I like Untappd, but I don't love it, even though I want to.

> So why did I pay $15 for something that iTunes can do for free, and in the process abandon an arguably better iOS podcatcher in Downcast? In short, podcast syncing.

**** Adobe Listening To Creative Cloud Complaints ****

Josh Centers, TidBITS


> Adobe did speak to one of the complaints we’ve heard most often: maintaining access to your files in Adobe proprietary formats outside of a membership. Adobe agrees that customers should be able to access files even after their memberships have ended, but the company is as yet vague on details. “Our job is to delight our customers with innovation, but there are a number of options open to us here and we expect to have news around this issue shortly,” Adobe said.
