Hi gals & guys. I had a new bundle offer email this morning.

From maclegion[dot]com, but it came from a Mac Bundle Box email address.

I know some people on MH have had issues with Mac Bundle Box in the past and I was wondering if it's a good bet and not a scam.

They have a couple of apps that I want, so I'm tempted.

I suppose PayPal is the safest way of paying and if they don't stump up the goods then I can let the PayPal hounds upon them

Here is a list of the offer apps if anyone is interested.

Data Rescue 3.1

ScreenFlow 2.1.7

Contactizer Pro

Virus Barrier

ForkLift

LaunchBar

Amadeus Pro

Radio Gaga

Printopia

MacPilot

great looking on paper.  Their website isn't responding though.  Are you sure the link you clicked went to maclegion.com?  That it wasn't spoofed?

EDIT: Seems to work now.  Not sure why.

Okay... I threw caution to the wind and purchased it via PayPal.

Glad to report that I have my serial codes all nicely laid out, also an email from one software company straight-away.

So far, thumbs up.

They actually managed what MacHeist couldn't: Screenflow in a bundle.

Nice to know: Data Rescue comes with a bootable disc image.

Edit: I got all of my licenses instantly. Printopia is a preactivated download (same company and method as Phoneview).

Edit 2: Looking forward to the inevitable Twitter/Facebook promotions for additional apps!

I picked it up for Screenflow alone. The other apps are a nice bonus.

Excellent bundle. I picked it up mainly for screenflow, contactizer is excellent as well, I already use Forklift a lot and launchbar.

Get 2.5GB for Dropbox for free. 1) Use this link to get you and me 250MB extra for Dropbox. 2) Then click  here and become a guru. Thank you.

Very nice bundle, far better than most recent offers, all my serials came through immediately.

Perhaps the MacBundleBox/MacLegion people have grown up a little and learned something about how to run a bundle offering.

I wanted Screenflow & Forklift2.  Contactizer Pro may be of use (and also allowed me to call it a business expense )

Printopia sounds good and I'm looking forward to trying Amadues Pro, I'm always happy to have more Audio software to play with.

I'm not sure how Data Rescue compares to the other repair/rescue apps I have but I'm always happy to have them around.

HDRtist Pro looks a little unpolished from the screen shots but worth a try.

Very happy with this one.

Mark.

I have used the Windows version of Data Rescue, and it worked very well.

Is this really a benchmark? I guess AppSumo had them too at some point?

Maybe. It would be nice if it was the case. I do like the fact that the site theme isn't a ripoff of some MH design as had been historically the case. So that's a good start.

Though, the term "a rose by any other name" still comes to mind.

Data Rescue II saved my life in the past so, even though I hope I wont ever need it again, it was nice to see it in the bundle. The same goes for ScreenFlow and ForkLift, while MacPilot is a little hackneyed.

I have a few of these and have tried some others, but don't tend to use any of them too much (doesn't mean the software isn't worth using, just that I haven't made much use of them).  There are lots of alternatives to MacPilot, some good free ones.  I did use Forklift a bit in the past, but tend to use Path Finder instead now. I really hoped to like Amadeus Pro, but for my needs, Audacity is more useful (and I also use Twisted Wave).  The one thing that Amadeus Pro offers that is somewhat unique for lower-cost audio editing is the spatial settings - each track can be assigned to playback not only left or right, but also front/back/centre and combinations of those.  I've tried a couple of times to make use of Contactizer Pro, but it just doesn't seem to fit the way I work (in many ways I prefer to have separate software for separate tasks, rather than an all in one solution).

What's the trick to get this damn image to display?? It clearly says $18,000 Mac Pro.

Update: Testing Miah's suggestion...

DropBox Goodness

I keep reaching for the Paypal "Buy" button, if only to get a license for ScreenFlow... and then I see a little Post-It note with a list of iPad apps I'm still waiting to buy, and then I don't make the purchase. Bundles just aren't what they used to be.

Strange, I copied that from the help and could see it in my message box before posting. In fact, if I edit my message, I can see the  tags. Thanks.

No, you used the url-tags and not the img-tags

The problem is using cl.ly and assuming you can link a webpage like an image.

I was going to wait until someone else figured that out but I can't stand watching this for another goddamn second.

thanks to all the guys who already purchased the bundle. I just saw it and thought I'd check out what other MacHeisters say .... I gotta have this bundle. Screenflow inside!

I'm having issues paying for the Bundle with Paypal, At first I had to input my new Password? and then it keeps asking me to input my bank details, but I don't understand as this is already in my settings, have Paypal changed any options recently.

Maybe I'm just getting to old

You call it Purple I call it Magenta

Bought it as well and all licenses have arrived and are working.
Nicest bundle I have seen in a while.

Have a nice day

Too bad I have Camtasia already, the only other reason I would get this bundle would be Forklift... I could just get that by itself and save even more.

Get Dropbox. You need it!

How does Camtasia compare with ScreenFlow?
Edit: iShowU HD PRO too.

Since there's no comprehensive FAQ page, I'm putting this from the discuss page here (Intense Debate comments don't seem to have permalinks):

And this gem, also from the same page:

Bought it for ScreenFlow and Data Rescue even though I have quite a few of the other apps. I love Amadeus Pro, it is my go to podcast editor, it automatically rejoins the surrounding sections when you make a deletion, and it has great tools for noise reduction, I use this a lot for Skype/voicemail calls.

If you are a Dexter fan, check out The Dexter Cast podcast - iTunes  or www.thedextercast.com
Dropbox referral - We each get an extra 500MB

Interesting.
Contactizer and VirusBarrier are quite good. I have licenses for Daylite and SOHO Organizer, but Contactizer Pro is the one I've used regularly for the past few years. It's not perfect, but has improved consistently and I've not been asked for an upgrade fee.
VirusBarrier includes what was called NetBarrier, which was probably the only Intego product I've liked. I may get it tonight, and will probably disable the anti-virus itself but will definitely use the firewall.

Look Ma, no teeth!

I thought about Amadeus a bit and the noise reduction tool is one of the things that still attracted me. I do my editing using Wave Editor or DSP-Quattro, but decided to add Amadeus along with its respective tools. I recently worked on a project and Amadeus' noise reduction would have come in handy.

Look Ma, no teeth!

I really hope you do not mean that 50% off coupon. That did not count as a bundle app.

Well I read the FAqs at the site and I'm not the only one with issues purchasing through PayPay, there is an issue with international payments.

I'll just wait and see what happens

You call it Purple I call it Magenta

I miss the good old days of bundle splits. Most people would probably want Screenflow from this bundle though and make it difficult to do a split.

SpiderOak - get an additional 1GB space for free when you sign up from this link. I'm late to the SpiderOak referral party.

I don't remember, I tried them out a long time ago, but I think ScreenFlow was one of the better ones.  I got Camtasia partly because the Guy That Was Paying was more familiar with the name & company.  The editing features are really good too.

"You have the whitest white-part-of-the-eyes I've ever seen. Do you floss?"

issue with international payments.???
I am from the UK and purchased via paypal without any issues

Have a nice day

I purchased with French Paypal without issue

Ok, thanks

I'm from Italy and I didn't have any problem paying with paypal.

I'm reading in the FAQs it's oddly just the Germans that are having issues

You call it Purple I call it Magenta

Hi there,

I am from germany too and the problem is only related to german customers that use direct debit as payment method ("Lastschrift") on paypal.

You have to send the funds to your paypal account or add a credit card but direct debit won't work for whatever reason.

I had this problem once before on macgamestore.com and they told me it has to do with german paypal regulations.

Though I couldn't find detailed information, also called paypal support to find out more but all they could do was to suggest alternative ways of payment (cc or transfering funds).

The last time I bought from MGS in 2009 direct debit was still working fine.

I just bought the bundle ... very nice.

PS: Maybe anyone here knows if Maclegion is based in Canada? MGS is from Canada, if Maclegion is too I guess it has to do with these payment problems. Because I regularly buy stuff from US companies using paypal direct debit method without problems at all.

g23 Thanks for the info, glad it's not just me, I will take your advice and transfer funds.

I had no problem to buy with paypal in Germany, but I had enough funds on my account.

Yeah, sure if you got enough funds then there is no problem with paypal.

But most german customers don't transfer funds to their paypal account, they use direct debit (Lastschriftverfahren) because it's convenient.

If I had to transfer funds all the time I want to pay something using paypal I wouldn't use paypal at all and just transfer the money directly.

I don't trust paypal enough to put money on my paypal account because there are many people that got their accounts freezed due to nothing.

Same in the UK. I use direct debit with PayPal no problem. Never have to keep funds in PayPal account.

I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy
for those who did.

I am not so much into international financial transaction rules but I am sure that direct debit in the uk and other countries is not exactly the same as in germany.

Bah, this sucks. This is the first time I have problems paying with Paypal. Given their track record, it will probably take a week or so for the money to appear on my account when I transfer it manually first.

IT is not that PayPal ha never worked for me, but it failed too often, even with an account at PayPal. Hotline was completely useless.

I have never, not ever, not even once had a failure with PayPal. Ever.

And I have an "Advantage" account for doing over $5k of business through them w/in a year.

Well, some of us even use paypal to collect payments and not just for spending. But thats a different story.

It's funny though, I only have problems with Maclegion. I've used Paypal to pay for a domain fee and for my webhosting fees today, both businesses in the US. But I still can't pay the Maclegion bundle. That's why I'm wondering if its actually a problem on their end.

The purchasers from Germany, start your Paypal purchases, the site is updated, and all is now working.

And I have nothing to do with these guys I'm just reporting the good news

Cheers, it actually does work!

I purchased, after a few failed attempts, and can confirm it's really working. The offer for Data Rescue was to good to miss, plus I had just tested out Printopia, and was hoping to see it in a Bundle

Just bought the updates for Virus Barrier, but I think I can extend the time if I remember correctly

You call it Purple I call it Magenta

just asking,

does anyone actually use . need virus barrier?
