SkyeFavourites for Windows

SkyeFavourites is a tool that is supposed to help you manage your bookmarks. After we experienced the constant nag screens and awkward navigation, we had to wonder about this program's incentive.

The program was slow to load from the start. A nag screen prompts you to register, but we were able to bypass it by clicking exit. But that wasn't the last we saw of the nag screen. It popped up every 30 or so seconds. Once we clicked OK, we then received a very confusing message that said something about our favorites exceeding the trial limit. The program itself docks either at the top of your window, or at the bottom. It stays on top of whatever you are working on. When opened, the user interface features a bright blue but transparent background, and navigational buttons at the bottom. You can hover your mouse over each one to find its purpose. We proceeded to add a new favorite, but after entering the required information, nothing happened. Our favorites never appeared in the window. The program offers a Help feature, but it didn't fix our problem.

The nag screen alone made us want to immediately remove this program from our PC. But that, combined with its poor performance, had us longing for our IE bookmarking tool.
