iStat nano v2.2
widget displays system info
iStat nano Editor's review
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.It sounds from the other comments that the widget has had growing pains, but I am VERY pleased with iStat. It's one of those rare times I needed something and immediately found an app that hit the sweet spot. Most widgets are not worth more than the paper they're printed on.I use iStat to troubleshoot issues like overheating and runaway processes, and to give users some insight into how the computer works (it's friendlier than Terminal or Activity Monitor or the BIG iStat). My experience has been that I can get the info I want very quickly without thinking about it much, which to me suggests it has a good UI. I hope it doesn't go the way of bloat - more features is great BUT a lousy UI makes a Mac into a PC.The data overload in the app IS becoming a problem, and it will be interesting to see how the developer handles it without I hope producing a kludgey mess. Please resist handling it by offering 6,000 preference option to wade through! A consistent interface is good.Nice job, good price, more widgets ought to be like this!
