Slowing Down - Minor Nuances

It’s a bit rough – Minor Nuances 2/5

When I first got this app, I loved it because the concept, but slowly the nuances began to get to me.

Clipboard – Decent 3/5

The clipboard section is decent. It doesn’t necessarily make the app great, but it is useful on occasion. It’s not amazing, but it isn’t negative. Neutral here.

Files – Annoying 2/5

The file section is cool, but can be hindering. I don’t have the same options with files in the file section as I do with files on my desktop. This might sound picky, but I disagree. I think that Uncluttered should speed me up, and not slow me down. What would make this better is if I could have my Uncluttered window be like a secondary desktop.What would be amazing is if the file section was like a mini finder window. When I click a folder in the file section, it opens finder. I’d rather just see the inside of the folder from that window.

Notes – Bad 1/5

Awkward… The idea is awesome, but it has issues. At first, placing notes up there was fun. The issue is getting a new notepad is a pain in the neck, and I can’t keep substantial notes up there. What would make this better? Having a note section that I can organize and take care of a bit easier. What would make this great? Being able to drag note files out of the note section and into the desktop. What would make this amazing? Markdown and RTF potential.

General use – Decent 3/5

The sliding down functionality is great… I can’t deny that. Small annoyance, I can’t make the uncluttered icon disappear from my menu bar. The appearance also doesn’t match Apple at all… Appearance is bad, but the functionality is good.

Conclusion - Total: 2/5

I’m very close to deleting the app, but I have hope that they’ll update it. If they don’t, I may look into making one of my own.
