Has potential. Let down by some bugs.

This app has a lot of potential and I can see it being a useful tool for manageing and organising PayPal transactions, and reporting on the massive amounts of information PayPal gathers. But I have found the app, in its current iteration, almost unusable because of these bugs:

- If you want to edit an existing smart filter, or create a new one and then cancel, the dialog box will not close. The only way to get rid of it and use the app again is to close it entirely then reopen it.
- Although it can be set to pull all PayPal transactions, in reality it pulls as many as it sees fit then stops. To get it to pull down more I had to close and reopen the app multiple times.
- When adding notes to a transaction (a great feature if it worked) the software will see every word you type as a sort of keyword, and itll start searching and filtering all your PayPal transactions by those words, making the screen dance before you. Notes should not cause this to happen.
- When sending money it can only be sent as "purchase" and not "personal" so you will always be charged a PayPal fee even when youre sending something that it genuinely personal (like a payment to a family member) that is a gift or payment owed.

I did download the trial version from the developers site before purchasing it on the Mac App Store (MAS). But that trial is very limited - it only lets you see data for 30 transactions with the rest telling you its a demo and you need to buy before you can see more. So I had to take the chance, based on the MAS reviews, that it would be useful. And it truly would be if only these bugs were fixed.

Why am I giving it 2 stars? Because all of the bugs I have listed are blatantly obvious and to the fore. How they got past the developers is beyond me. I have requested and received a refund for this product, which I am grateful for. My advice to potential buyers - just hold off until they update it to fix these problems. Once they do, it has the potential to be something great.
