Why I'm uninstalling...

Oct 26, 2009 5:19AM PDT

Just wanted to let you know why I've decided to uninstall, in case you may choose to take some of this feedback into a future release.

- The app opens itself far too often
- There are no preferences I can see to control how often it checks

I'd prefer to just be able to run the app when I want to check for updates. I appreciate others may not want it to work in this way, so I'd suggest preferences to control this. Overall it's just a little too intrusive for my liking.
