Thank you for bringing these extra points to life. I know you’re a long time user of SKTools and I appreciate the mentions.

I think my biggest issue with SKTools is not that it is missing any kind of functionality (because it really isn’t) but the UI is next to horrible. I can’t tell you how many times I during the writing of this that I went to take a screenshot of a particular function and couldn’t find it!

I also agree on the money aspect. You gain a lot of functionality with a lower cost with SKTools … especially if you factor in the cost of additional apps like backup software, but for me I’d rather a little less functionality and a lot more GUI hotness

I’ll stop here before we get into a unix vs windows vs mac debate!

Again, thanks for the comments spm – greatly appreciated!

Some points I’d like to add from the other side (having used SK Tools more than MemMaid):

At “Cleaning Up” you wonder if you can set SK Tools to clean Netfront and Opera, andto set custom folders. These are available in SK Tools under Tools – Settings – Temporary and Cache Folders. Well Netfront is there, and three custom folders can be set, but no Opera is present.

At “Junk in the trunk” you talk about that only MemMaid can disable items. If you go to “Today Plugins” in SK Tools, you can tap-and-hold on an item and in the popup menu you can pick “toggle” to enable/disable an item. (One annoying thing is that after toggling an item or moving it’s order, SK Tools needs to process this and then reload everything on it’s screen, both take time). You can also pin a Today screen item from here, delete it, etc.

I do agree on some of the negative points, giving sizes in MB instead of KB would be one of the small changes that could make the application more easy to use, even without completely redesigning the entire user interface. I found that I got used to that interface after a while (while MemMaid’s interface doesn’t need any “getting used to”).
But for a cleaning and backup solution in one, for onder $ 15 (WAY under $15 sometimes if you can catch a nice offer on Pocketland for example), this is a very good alternative to a package that would normally cost $40 or $50 (MemMaid + Sunnysoft Backup Manager / Sprite Backup). SK Tools lacks an easy UI and some backup options compared to MemMaid + a standalone backup application, but I got used to the interface, and the backup solution of SK Tools fits my needs.
