User Reviews

• Great, But why no continuing alarm?

  bankso0029/19/2010

  Pros

  More "macy" UI And cool splash screen

  Cons

  If you are in the market to tell your mates use my mac then supprise them its great but as a secrety app it fall short of iAlertU

  Summary

  Enjoyed using all the features but it was flawed in many ways

• Good, but just a few negatives

  Bleckner1/6/2009

  Pros

  The emailing feature and the locked screen.

  Cons

  You can easily mute the alarm by pressing the mute key before it activates (when it's not on splash screen mode). Another security hole is the lack of password protection for the settings. I wish you could change the sound and the splash screen.

  Summary

  It's still a very good free program, despite it's security flaws. But they need to be fixed to ensure optimum protection. If your going to use this at starbucks, I still recommend using a cable lock, just to make sure. Adjust it to force maximum volume and use the splashscreen.

• Makes me look like a jackass

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I love lockdown with the apple remote and my laptop, but I wish the Lockdown splash screen had the option to override my screen going black from energy saver or whatever. I keep walking up and not seeing anything but a black screen and I either move the mouse or tap the keyboard to get the login screen and/or have the screen go back on and the siren starts blasting because I forgot I set the alarm because I see a black screen instead of the Lockdown splash screen. It makes me look like a jackass scrambling to grab the remote from my pocket while the alarm is squealing like a stuck pig all over the coffee shop. I get looks of disapproval from the caffeinated ppl. Plz fix.

• Works great!

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Started with 1.0.5 and now on 1.0.6. Works as stated and is a fantastic piece of freeware. I highly recommend that you donate if you find the product useful. Btw changelog for 1.0.6 since it isn't posted here. Version 1.0.6 - Splash screen now fades away after 60 seconds - Fixed issue with setting Lockdown's "Motion Sensitivity" to high. Important: If you are experiencing problems with Lockdown's alarm triggering too easily, you'll need to drag the slider at least one tick mark away from its current location. Afterwards, you can then drag it back to wherever you'd like. - Added more documentation to Lockdown's interface

• Won't launch

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just downloaded this, unzipped it, and double clicked it ... it won't launch. Tried it 3 times, same nothing. I'll reboot my computer some time in the next few days, and try again, but as of this moment, Lockdown is broken. By the way, I'm using a 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro, with 10.5.4.
