Anyone using PocketMon from the makers of Sprite Backup?

I have a demo of this program and I am wondering if you are using it and what kind of feedback your can provide.

Frenchy, I used this when I was reviewing Sprite and found it to be redundant if you have other similar utilities (e.g., Battery Pack Pro) installed already.

That's what I thought. I have Battery Pack Pro but it isn't install as it was crashing the X50 all the time. I upgraded Sprite on the weekend and saw that it had also put an eval version of PocketMon on my Today's screen. Thanks Gigi

Well, if BPP doesn't work for you and PocketMon does, then this might be a good alternative for you. When I had it installed on my X30H, I never had any problems so it might be worth a try.

I use pocket mon, only because it came with sprite prem. It works ok for me and i've had zero complaints with it. I always want to know how much life is in the batery, and it also tells me if there were any problems with the scheduled sprite backup.

It looks slightly ugly in True VGA mode though.

It's on my today screen because it came with the Premium Ed. I keep it way at the bottom so it is less noticable. psionandy is right - It looks like crap on the VGA screen. It's on there for now, but I'll probably remove it - Really haven't found much use for it.

I would also like to add that you have NO choice but to install this utility (and space detective) when install sprite premium backup as it doesn’t give you the option to exclude it! Very annoying specially as removing it is just a bothersome

Software like this annoys me somewhat.

well it's not completely hideous.. just slightly ugly. I quite like it as it gives me instant links to the backlight and power options. And it tells me if last nights backup was succsessful. I just wish it looked a little nicer in VGA mode
