I was going to write a sarcastic review about how hard it is to find new ways to do something with the piles of extra money I have lying around, but why bother?

Maybe if I were willing to shell out $20 or $30 for a real look at this thing I might see something of value, but this so-called demo is so crippled, and the reminders that it is a demo so obtrusive, that I just want this boring and obnoxious thing off my desktop. It's just plain lame that there are so many supposed bells and whistles that you can't even get a look at without ponying up an exorbitant amount of money for a visualizer.

That aside, how is it as a visualizer? As another reviewer said: boring. Just not impressive. The built-in visualizers are more interesting and Jumping Steve is way more entertaining. Granted one man's meat is another man's poison. Nonetheless, even if it's your meat, this ground chuck is being sold at a tenderloin price.

Perhaps the "patent pending" cloud rendering is worth some money to CGI programmers, but this is a freakin' iTunes visualizer. Gimme a break. It's clouds. I'm going to pay $30 for clouds? Not in this lifetime.

As donation ware, this might merit a couple of bucks. Might.

Well, most of the features ARE crippled in the trial version, but from what I could see it's basically a big YAWWWNNNN.......and dreadfully overpriced at $30, even at $20. Not much goin' on here, so I trashed it and went on my merry way.
There's no way that I'd buy it, just no way! While Soundpectrum's G-Force IS a tour de force,
SoftSkies is a dud....just a wet turd sittin' there on the sidewalk. Sigh............

The clouds actually move to the music... the interface is beautiful and polished... I could see this in a medical waiting room, or some other environment where soothig music and matching scenery might work... for me it's a bit boring, I'll stick with G-Force...
