Critical Resource
Mactracker is a critical resource - a must have for IT professionals and enthusiasts alike, that deal with Apple products. It's a light weight, well-refined app that performs well and is easy to use. However, don't let the name mislead you, this app is not a Mac reference. It's a digital Apple Bible. Newtons, Quicktakes and Stylewriters too - if Apple manufactured it, this app knows about it.
When OS X Lion was released in July, I needed to make sure a friends Macbook was compatible - in seconds, this app gave me the answer. My grandmother needed a bulky USB adapter for her Mac mini that would cover the adjacent port. A quick search revealed it wouldn't be a problem because she has five ports.
This app is the only Apple product resource you should need, and as it's free, you can't beat the price; for Geeks-on-the-go, get the iOS version too!
Should really be called "Apple Tracker", Fantastic App
I've been using this app since Ian first released it many moons ago. He's been toiling away, regularly updating it, for years, for free. What can I say? It's a superb app that I rely on regularly to manage our office Macs. It's beutifully designled, easy to use, accurate (mostly, I find the occasional factual error, but Ian fixes them quickly), and, did I mention, free?
It's also now available on iOS, which is very handy, but I do wish the "My Models" would sync between the desktop and iOS versions.
I guess it should really be called AppleTracker. It tracks your Macs, of course, but also every Apple printer, camera, iPod, and iOS device ever released. Heck, it's fun just to spend some time traveling down memory lane with this app.
Thank you Ian for this wonderful utility. It's made my job easier, and I'm grateful for your efforts.
My one "go-to" app for all things Apple
I've used this app for ages, and I'm constantly pointing others to it. It's a great resource, and on no fewer than five occasions has given me info I've needed at just the right time to assist in a purchase decision involving an accessory or add-on for a particular model (and needing to know if they were compatible). Short of winning bar bets, I've used it in so many helpful ways over the years. I always use it to check out introduction/discontinuation dates, and to help others in purchase or selling decisions.
Beyond the obvious use as an information resources, sometimes it's just fun to launch and randomly explore (like an old encyclopedia) and to marvel at how far technology and Apple have come over the years. Hard to believe what we considered "fast and powerful" (or "cutting edge") just 10 short years ago!
The fact that it's free is even more amazing. It'll always have a place on my Mac and iPhone.
