What users say about File Search Machine

GymW
By GymW on Aug 14 2024 for v.1.3

Features: 2.0

This product is to the best of my knowledge with no response from the developer when asked, fails to find email any messages as it is marketed to do so. As such I have requested that the product be pulled by the App Store and not be made available until the developer properly represents its features.

Customer support: 1.0

Customer support for this product is very poor. Support within the product does not exist. No manual, no instructions. Help takes you to the developer's home page. No documentation on the App, only marketing info. The developer misrepresents the App by stating it can find emails which it cannot, only mbox folders containing the messages defined by the search. Presales contact with the developer indicated to me that it supports email searches and with no trial version available I purchased it for that reason. After testing for this and finding out it does not. I applied to the App Store for a refund which was granted and deleted the App from my Mac. I will not be purchasing any future software from this developer as I do not support misrepresentation or what I consider to be lies in order to profit from them. The refund request was made after emailing the developer asking for details on how to find email messages of which I received no response.
