iStat Mini App Reviews

Yeah, it would be nice to have temperatures or fan speed, but it clearly states what it does in the app description and it does that perfectly and looks very nice. If you need something more, get iStat Menus from developer’s website.

I am using previous version on Mac Book 10.6.x. Right now I am getting the Mac Book Pro with Mac OSX 10.10.x … and looking forwrad "iStat Menus 5” come to the Mac App Store. Good job !!!

I add the widget in notification center and it doesn’t show at all. I wish developers would have tested the widget thoroughly before publishing.

… just as the screenshot shows: CPU, Memory, Disk usage and Network Up?Down speed - I should have probably sprung for the proper iStat Menus app than this mini version

Before Yosemite was released, I used the full-blown version of iStat on my Macbook Pro. However, I kept noticing that it elongated the time for bootup of my computer because of its data gathering process. So, although I loved the application, I didn’t update to that one; however, I saw that the developer came out with a “mini” version of it, so I went ahead and purchased it. I must say it works very well, and gives me exactly what I’m needing: the network speed (upload and download; critical to working!!), memory, CPU, & disk space. Very, very good app.

This widget is pretty much flawless! Compact and beautiful, you just install it and it works like a charm.

This is a handy app. I’ve recently migrated from Microsoft to Mac and I was using the Orbmu2k gadgets - which this essencially does. Only drawback seems to be the overly simplistic information. I miss having the full stats from Orbmu2k’s gadgets. I hope the dev will add the tools everyone else has been asking for from the previous version; if they don’t then I would recommend people hold off from purchasing this until the developers DO add this functionality back in.

Always been a fan of iStat. I still have it on my Dashboard. The old Dashboard widget gave a ton of information about your system, this widget does not. I lacks much information that would be useful to view. For the same price Monity monitors WAY more and gives much more information in the Nofication Center. I would recommend that App highly over this.

I’ve used the iStat Pro widget on the dashboard for several years, it provides a wealth of info. This app has a long way to go before replacing the dashboard widget.

It would be great if this app worked properly. Not sure if it’s an issue with compatability in 10.10.3 or if something is wrong with the app. I’ve tried reinstalling it, but after a reboot, the widget is no longer listed, nor is it listed as an available widget to choose from. If this app worked correctly, I’d give it 5 stars for sure. I’ve always loved the iStat Apps...

Where are the fan speeds, the Temperatures of devices? This really is a waste of $1.99.

The perfect little widget. Easy to find see and access. The info i need and half the strain as the full version. Perfect evolution of a great app has arrived.

I’ve been a huge fan of iStat Menus for years. But like others have said.. as it got bigger.. it got slower.. a LOT slower. To the point where I had to remove it. iStat Mini does a great job of giving me just what I need to know.. how much CPU is being used, memory, network - basically the “vitals”. Thanks guys.

I wanted a successor to istat pro. This isn’t it. Total useless waste. Not much money but a waste anyway. Buy Monity instead. Its not as good as istat pro but better than stat mini

Miss the full featured widget, wish this had more configurability and options. . .and temperatures! Thanks!

It’s very useful, i just wish the I could see the temperature. Works perfect on El Capitan

Downloaded (twice) and listed as Installed, but can’t Open it because it is NOT listed in the Notification Center which is required for a switch to be turned ON. Note: Mac OS = Yosemite.

How do I get this app to work on the most recent Mac OS???

This displays very little animation, please add the option to view more things like temperature, fan speed, and more.
