| Feb 9, 2012 at 21:08 | comment | added | joelseph | Apps no longer need to have Growl installed in order to use Growl notifications, so users would only need to purchase it if they want to customize their notifications. This also means apps no longer need to secretly install Growl. More info on their note to developers. Growl is still open source, too, and there's a link to the source code on that page as well. | |

| Nov 13, 2011 at 13:27 | comment | added | calum_b | @Bryson Both of those issues are the fault of the apps in question, there's not a lot Growl can do about apps not using it properly. | |

| Sep 7, 2011 at 1:56 | comment | added | Andrew Vit | @Bryson what I like about Growl is that it gives a central place where I can control all notifications for apps, whether I want them to pop up or just "shut up about it". I'm surprised that Apple didn't add a standard Notification system to Lion, it seems like centralizing this should be the role of the OS. | |

| Jun 3, 2011 at 17:07 | comment | added | Bryson | Ugh, I can not express to you how much I loath Growl. It's even worse that tons of apps (like Dropbox) install it silently without asking, or simply crash and burn (like Max) if it isn't installed without giving you any error messages or means of troubleshooting. | |
