Decent App

I passed on this free app for a long time because of all the negative reviews, but finaly was curious enough to give it a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Ive ran the app I think about four times now without even the slighest hint of problems. No bugs in this version that ive noticed. I usually just leave the app running a couple of hours while Im cleaning up the house so although Ive only had it a few days, I feel like I should of encountered some of the problems others have complained about. Im using a late 2011 MBP running os 10.6.8. I think some people may have overlooked the requirements state you must have a system that uses a 64-bit kernel which im not sure was standard until the beginning of 2011. Click on about this Mac, more info, then highlight software and it will tell you whether your running in 32 or 64 bit processing.
With all that out of the way I would say RA HD is pretty good for free. It has nice looking video of Oysters, Jellyfish, Sharks, and Stingrays. It doesnt compare to blu-ray video of Blue Planet: Seas of Life or ocean footage of Planet Earth video, but decent looking footage and good length of time per species. Some of the aquatic animals are colorul and exotic looking, even the oysters, but I wish they had more exciting Seascapes. Most of the environments are grey and boring with very little plantlife. I might buy the full version while its on sale for a dollar just to support projects like this. Dont know if I would pay full price of $10 bucks though. Tapmedia hasnt made it clear on how much more content is unlocked with purchase. There are no dolphins in this version, but I assume I would get at least a coulple more species with the nice little tid-bits of educational info to go with them.
