Winners Announced
I’m pleased to announce that the three lucky recipients of a Fontcase license are:
- Marcus Keely
- Tyler Johnson
- Deskman
Your license code will be on the way shortly! Thanks to everyone who entered, and we’ll be running another giveaway soon.
It’s competition time again, and today we’re giving away three licenses for Fontcase, a wonderful font management app for OS X. We recently revisited our review of Fontcase to take a look at a few of the new features added in the latest version (including auto-activation and duplicate detection).
Entering the competition is very straight-forward. All you need to do is:
- Post a link to this competition – either on your website, or via Twitter
- Leave a comment, letting me know where you posted the link!
The competition will run for one week, and we’ll announce the winners on the Thursday 15th April. Good luck, and enjoy your weekend!
We’re announcing a new type of post on AppStorm today: Quick Look. These short application overviews will give you a description, a few screenshots, and basic information about a particular piece of software. They’re sponsored, so developers pay a small fee to have their app featured in a Quick Look post.
At the end of each post we’ll have a poll for readers to vote in. If you like what you see, you can vote for us to write a full (completely unbiased) review of the software in question.
It’s a great way to find out about new applications you haven’t come across before and a great way for developers to get the word out about their new app. We’ll have a few of these posts appearing over the course of this week so you’ll be able to see how they work.
Quick Look posts will be in addition to our regular publishing schedule here at AppStorm. So you’ll continue getting the same great reviews, roundups and guides, plus you’ll now get Quick Looks at new and interesting apps!
We’re very excited by the prospect of showcasing more apps, finding AppStorm a new revenue source to help us grow, and giving developers a promotional tool to market their work. We’d love to hear your feedback on this addition, so feel free to leave a comment or send us an email.

If you’d like to have your application featured, Quick Look posts cost $49 and will help you reach an audience of people who love their Mac! Fill in this form to reserve a post.

Winner’s Details
Thanks to everyone who entered! I’m pleased to announce that the three lucky winners are:
- Brad Bolman
- Ricardo
- David Ferguson
Your licenses will be on the way very soon.
After reviewing CoverScout earlier this week, we thought it would only be fair to give away a few licenses to our wonderful readers! Today’s competition is for three licenses of CoverScout, and three licenses of SongGenie (worth over $225!). These will be bundled together, so there will be three winners in total, each receiving both apps.
CoverScout is your one stop app for finding, applying, editing and printing all the album covers in your music library. SongGenie does a similar job, but focuses on all your iTunes metadata to ensure songs and albums are named and labelled correctly.
Entering the competition is easy, and just requires you to leave a comment on this post. We’ll randomly select the three winners in one week, on Friday 2nd April. Best of luck!
