Cool idea but… – Quadro Review

While I have to say this seems like a great idea and it is executed pretty well, but in the end I did not find it very useful. I guess if you are the type of computer user who refuses to learn and use keyboard shortcuts then this might be a time saver for you. However if you, like me, pretty much learn the keyboard shortcuts for your most frequently used features of a program and just in general get familiar with the location of buttons, menus etc then this app really doesn't save any time. This is not due to any design faults on the developers part, on the contrary, they did a great job with pretty much everything about the app. The problem is in the physical reality of the fact that a computer is still a very keyboard/ mouse/trackpad oriented device and thus every time you go to use this app you have to move your hand from the keyboard or mouse/trackpad to another device. Unfortunately the time it takes to do this is longer then it would take to use a keyboard shortcut or even find the command in the menu if you know where to look. So for me 4 stars for a nicely designed app and 1 star for practicality.
