Every time I get a calendar invite from someone using Outlook on a PC, my Mac can’t read it…. So I try a Winmail app…. Without success (in some cases, after purchasing “premium” version… In frustration, I tried Letter Opener, and bang! It worked… dragged the file into Letter Opening which immediately created a calendar appointment. Simple task… simple solution….

One of the frustrating things about software in general, I think, is the constant demand for reviews as a means to help increase the software developer's income. Personally, when I pay for something, I don't see a compelling responsibility to also submit to becoming a continuous source of free advertising for the software developer in question. I do occasionally write software reviews, but only for software that stands out as being exceptionally good. LOL, I have 50 programs on my phone, not counting those on my computer, and I also buy things online. Maybe surprising to these vendors, I do have many other more important things to address than spending 8 hours/day writing reviews, so they can make more money.Additionally, with software on the App Store, every time there’s a new software version, there’s another round of hounding users for reviews. The worst company I’ve dealt with in this regard is Letter Opener GmbH. Every time Letter Opener runs on my computer, it pops up a request to write a review in the App Store, and they don’t provide an option to simply close and write a review later, as does every other software program. Most software developers realize that maybe, just maybe, the user can’t just drop everything else at the moment and immediately write a review for them.In the case of Letter Opener I’ve been using force quit to close the review request window, but my spouse suggested I should go ahead and write a review and let Letter Opener GmbH know what I think of their annoying demand for reviews.

The thing I want in a program like this is that it just plain ol' works without me thinking about it. This program solves the problem I've had of PC users sending me attachments as dat files that I couldn't open on my Mac. Now I can. The developer even proactively reached out to me to see if I was having any issues. Pretty great customer service, I'd say.

Letter Opener Gets My Vote for being a great program. I have used it almost every day for the past 3 years and have not had any problems. I receive pdf & other files all day long from window users & have never had a problem opening the files. I highly recommend it!John from Houston, Texas
