I Have been using the softwqre for several years, but I can not seem to get it to stay live. When ever I reboot my machine or goe sto slep overnight the software is not ready to work as avertized. It takes a variable amount of time to activate after I initiate it. The software tells me it is connected but the expander does not operate. I move on with my work angry and disappointed , when I check back some te mies 3 min , 10 min but not working then on it s own accord it starts operating without any input from me. . It is coming up for a renewal but I am hesitant to proceed.

This app is excellent for daily tasks and offers reliable shortcut keys. I highly recommend it for anyone needing quick templates or frequently using the same ones.

This app is very useful for my daily tasks. Shortcut keys that you would use is very reliable. It doesn't affect other apps installed on your device since it only consumes minimal amount of memory (RAM). I highly recommend this for those who are looking for an instant template or for those that uses same templates on their daily tasks.
