Divvy Review
You’ll love windows again
We love the Graphical User Interface -- point-and-click beats typing in lines of commands all day. But application windows can quickly overrun our Desktop. Divvy takes control over your windows, allowing you to define screen zones, and size windows to fit those zones via keyboard shortcuts. So with a few keyboard clicks, you could fill the screen with your web browser, or devote separate halves of the screen to two different Word documents, for example. Best of all, the single-pane Divvy interface is both powerful and simple to use.
Divvy’s controls pop up on command for quick window adjustments.
The bottom line. Divvy makes quick work of even the most cluttered multi-window setup.

I'm sure it doesn't do Everything Divvy does, but I've been using Cinch, available in the App Store for $6.99, and it mimics the Snap feature in Windows 7. It allows me to show any screen or app in half the screen and fill the other half with another screen or app by dragging the mouse to either side of the screen, and it allows easy full screen mode by moving the mouse to the menu bar. It may help people get a specific job done for about half the price of your app. Thanks for the review though. Love you guys.
