Aol Desktop For Mac Mojave 10.14

Why would anyone with a Mac put this mess on the machine?
The Windows version is bad enough, Eeeek!
I've started calling it the freeze me up bundle.

Brilliant - just like building a Wal Mart inside the Mall

All of AOL software is Beta. Who would ever put a RC on crap. Last desktop for Mac was bad and this one is no better. Who really needs AOL software running on their computer? Even if some of the few who still use AOL, why even bother with the software? A good web browser like Safari or Firefox will run much better and use less resources.

AOL die already take real player with you!

If it makes people happy using it, then good for them. Each to his own.

Why on earth would I allow some application to tarnish my beautiful OSX desktop, let alone use AOL?

Sounds perfect for Mac users.

There are some good things about AOL desktop, but several glaring problems, and they have to do with 'mail'. First, the print is VERY small, and you can't set a default size in preferences, so you have to manually change the point size each time if what is sent is not to your liking. Also, 'new mail' doesnt work nearly as fast as the old (now defunct) AOL software. When sending mail to a whole folder of people, it enlarges the window to the point that you have no place to type your message, and there is no scroll bar to scroll down. Which means you must type in your message first, and then add the messages.
Also, from Address book, There is no option to bcc...which means you have to copy and paste. You have to do a workaround to bcc someone from the addressbook. And...scrolling down the address book when you first open it up is a challange because it pops back each time until something is actually loaded. This is all a cumbersome problem. I want to like this software, but I can't recommend it...not just yet.

Why would someone punish OSX this way. Is this some sort of sick joke? who would use this? There are no useful features that cant already easily be done and yea...i'm not even gonna bother explaining how much this sucks.
--------------------------------------------------Please explain why. I'd love to hear your excuse. But then again, you probably don't really have one.

dear godofthunder:
why don't you just crawl back under whatever internet rock you emerged from and leave the reviewing to the big boys, m'kay...?

@TomA102210
OMG I've never encountered a bigger pest in my whole life. Seriously you've built up a pretty bad rep, I aint gona crack down on you like i know a few others have done concerning your statements around beta news, but do you seriously go round all the reviews reviewing the reviewers? How about I do a review of your review on a reviewer?
-------------------------------------------
You're really quite funny and I thank you for the compliment. Do what you say you're going to do and then move on.
By the way, AOL for Desktop is not likely to go away for either platform any time soon so get used to it being here.

Good product! The menus are simple and easy, you don't need to go every which way to be able to do what you want. AIM is built into the software which is awesome. You got the menu buttons to take you to where you want within the AOL network, without having to type the URL in. Pretty good start. Can't wait to see what's next. :)
