Launch! is a Mac OS X app that facilitates launching and managing login to Telstra's BigPond Cable network.
The application automatically updates usage statistics, and the information displayed includes current unrated usage. Moreover, users can access useful cable-related web pages by utilizing the slide-out drawer and status menu links.
If a user goes over their monthly download allowance limit, Launch! can inform them of anticipated costs that they may incur. This application offers a range of customization preferences, allowing users to set their login name and password, choose between various options, such as usage statistics updates, the plan type (used for cost calculations, should the user exceed their monthly allowance), and even applications to launch automatically on connection.
Launch! also enables users to automatically retry connecting if the connection fails, making the process smoother and more seamless. The application icon provides visual cues, showing users when they are connected and also displays a usage statistics meter.
What's more, Launch! is donation-ware, which means that it is free to use, but the developer appreciates donations. The software has no nag screens or limited functionality, and donations made help to enhance Launch! while also supporting the creation of other Mac OS X applications.
In summary, the latest release of Launch! has been updated to show the total only when BigPond servers are not reporting upload and download splits. This update aims to provide a more accurate and transparent experience for the user. Overall, Launch! is an excellent software application for users who require a reliable and accessible way to manage their BigPond Cable network account on a Mac OS X device.
