MacHeist Bundle: 14 apps for $39 Plus more

[Lurker1]

Update:If you buy the bundle, you can also get Delicious Library 2 (brand new release) and Multiwinia (game) by merely adding a tweet.


With lots of new mac users out there, here's a chance to get 14 apps for $39, with 25% going to charity. Here's the list of apps and a brief description. I've already got mine, I like the idea of supporting shareware authors.

[*]iSale (ebay app)
[*]Picturesque (photo editing/touchup)
[*]SousChef (recipe app with online capability)
[*]World of Goo (game)
[*]PhoneView (iPhone/iTouch sync app)
[*]Little Snapper (photo manager/editor)
[*]Acorn (photo editor)
[*]Kinemac (the big app - 3D animation)
[*]WireTap Studio (record all sound on your mac) unlocked!
[*]Cro-Mag Rally (Racing game) new bonus game
[*]Times (RSS reader formatted like a newspaper) new bonus app
[*]BoinxTV (Looks like 3 movie camera TV studio software) unlocked!
[*]The HitList (Task Manager) unlocked!
[*]Espresso (Web Editor) unlocked!

The first 25K bundles sold also got:
[*]Big Bang Board Games (7 board games with multi-player/email/chat possibilities) <<<<<<<<<DEAD

as a side note, if you like puzzles, MacHeist throws a "heist" every so often and it's a pretty interesting thing to solve. The 3rd heist and 3rd nano heists should still be available, and will allow you to get other software, but you will have to be a member to get the free software and participate. There are forums for help and walkthroughs if you get stuck.

Note that if you complete "Mission 3" you might get a $2 discount towards the bundle price. Before the bundle went on sale, everyone completing that one got a $2 discount. I don't know about after.

Are these good apps? I saw it, but im a mac noob. No idea if even one of these is worth $39.

It depends upon what you want. I've purchased several from both MacHeist.com and mupromo.com, and usually the bigger name apps (like Kinemac in this round) are just about to undergo an upgrade, so they'll go ahead and participate in a bundle to increase their potential upgrade base. (I'm not saying that Kinemac is about to go through an upgrade - I don't know, but it was true of TechTool Pro from a previous bundle)

edit: Drive Genius was the latest release - just checked.

If PhoneView does what it says, it would probably be worth $39 on its own, if you own an iPhone and need its abilities. I personally have not used any of these apps yet. I did purchase the bundle.

I believe several won macworld etc awards (Kinemac and Little Snapper IIRC) but I don't have the time to dig deeper right now. I'll see what I can find in the morning. It's only day 1 of 14 for the availability so you have time to explore. There should be trial/demo versions of all the software, so download and try them and decide for yourself. Note that you can also try the last 2 heists (check the briefings). You get MiniOneRacing for just signing up and listening to that one, completing the first stage gets you iStock (stock program), and the second is Scribbles (drawing program).

World of Goo is a great game. If you want that and one other app, that's worth the cost of admission!

BTW, I should mention that if you complete "Mission 3" you might get a $2 discount, along with several free apps. see above

Bump for 2 new bonus apps and an update that the Boinx TV app should unlock within hours.

Edit: Also the two additional apps available via a tweet if you've already bought the bundle.

 

[Lurker1]

last bump. Looks like the last 2 apps will also unlock. It should take less than 7500 bundles to unlock them.

Yep, World of Goo is good. Normally $20, though it might be lower now.

EDIT: Ah, just clicked the link and saw that it lists the prices there.
