Hi All, In connection with Black Friday, the first day after U.S. Thanksgiving, when there are sales to start off the Christmas shopping season, a number of interesting sales have shown up in the Mac App Store for applications or subjects that have been recently discussed. Some of these will be for today only, some for the Friday and Saturday, and some will extend through Monday.
Here are a few of the items I've noted: • ABBYY Fine Reader Express $49.99 (50% off regular price, this weekend only) http://itunes.apple.com/app/abbyy-finereader-express/id412310371?mt=12 • Checkbook Pro $11.99 (normally $24.99, on sale -- last year it was for Friday only) http://itunes.apple.com/app/checkbook-pro/id412490330?mt=12 • Audiobook Builder $1.99 (normally $5.99) http://itunes.apple.com/app/audiobook-builder/id406226796?mt=12 ABBYY Fine Reader Express for OCR has a15-day free trial download at: http://www.abbyy.com/finereader_for_mac/trial/# You can find the Splasm Software trial downloads for Checkbook Pro at: http://www.splasm.com/checkbookpro/downloads.html and for Audiobook Builder at: http://www.splasm.com/audiobookbuilder/downloads.html Looks like there is no 1Password Mac sale this year. Telestream sent out an email with a 30% discount code of "BlackCyber2013" (excluding the quotation marks) for the purchase of their products between November 27 - December 2, 2013. They make a product called Flip4Mac that lets you play Windows Media formats in QuickTime (in free and paid versions that let you encode more formats), but they also make a product called Screenflow that allows you to screen capture in video format from your Mac to do demos and presentations of app usage. I know some VoiceOver users use this software (lists for $99, would be $69.30 with the discount). Here's the Screenflow web site, which also has their free trial download link: http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/ Southern Stars also sent me links to the free versions of their SkySafari planetarium apps for both the Mac and for iOS, good from this Friday through Sunday (though the links actually started working yesterday): • SkySafari 1.8 for Mac OS X (free, regularly $4.99) https://itunes.apple.com/app/skysafari/id451895081?mt=12 I've generally used the iOS app, which is accessible for all the information parts, though I have used an older version of the Mac app, Here's the iOS app link: • SkySafari 3.8.5 for iOS (free, regularly $2.99) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skysafari-3/id437108143?mt=8 They've also put their SkySafari Plus and Pro versions for Mac and iOS (and Android) on sale for 25%. These are versions with larger object databases on comets, distant galaxies and stars, etc. HTH.
