COUNTERPoint 2.1 represents many hours of work. Great pains went into incorporating every possible user suggestion received for the last 8 months.
COUNTERPoint 2.1 is not designed to please all people. Some people will find it very useful and flexible and others will try it and decide it is not their cup of tea. We hope you find CP on the useful side, but if you don't there are many other off-line readers available: Cope, macWoof, Freddie, Alice with new ones making their debut every few months.
