Submarine for Mac

It took me years to find how to use this app for free: when I opened it, it immediately showed 3 options: Quit, Activate License and Buy Now. Clicking the second or the third wasn't showing a button for trial or free use, so I could only quit... But the fact that it's advertised as free made me wonder, and it's only by accident that I clicked on the window's title bar today, and discovered that the actual main window was behind those options! I guess they lose many hurried customers by making such a weird choice... It just gives the impression that you only can use the app by paying, so you don't even try it!

@WordWeaver here is one of the purposes right from the devs page "Stay up to date! Never miss a new feature, release, announcement or deal. Sign up to our newsletter today!" why that would be important I suppose we all know. And, yes, purposes should be stated restrictively and upfront, if I overlooked them. Maybe optional, but that's why there are those kind of mail addresses that invite spam more than the others ;). on the definition of "free", yes, there is a trade happening. wonderful things besides getting around the opensubs website interface and the hassle of downloading: - search by drag and drop the movie file... and add search words if you like. - the app automatically renames files as the movie file to be added by movie start. @devs Superb app! A few ideas if you are interested: - after getting the search results drag and drop a sub from the list to a local folder would save a few clicks - ability to drop more than one movie file and get results separated visually depending on the file dropped. alternating background color e.g. - if the app already utilizes the cover image why not have the user be able to drag and drop it? - and who does not love a menu bar applet? ;) probably not as a replacement, because then resizing might be a problem, but alongside? but that's a luxury.

Considering that this app is supposedly free, why does the developer require an email address before allowing someone to download it? Exactly what are his/her intentions with harvesting email addresses? Is he/she then going to hound the downloader to purchase some of his/her commercial apps? He/she claims that it is a fair deal -- a "free" app for an email address. Exactly how is that fair? It all just seems a bit shady to me, and does not inspire confidence in the developer. In my view, the app is either free -- without any catches -- or it is not free. Demanding a person's email address does not make it really free, because the potential user is being forced to surrender part of his/her privacy, and we all know how email addresses are traded and sold across the Internet. I think this developer needs to be more transparent regarding why he requires an email address. That issue aside, the name of this app is a rip-off of another much older -- and still functioning app called SubsMarine by CocoaWithChurros, which I have been using for years.

Had been looking for something like this for a while. Found it maybe two years ago. Never used anything else since, it's fantastic! Quick and friendly support too.

Really useful software. Takes the hassle out of finding subtitles completely. Also, the developer is super great and listens to user feedback and implements them.
