Well of course we'd like it for windows but I can use my osx emulator for now.
There is also https://browserling.com/ but it can be slow sometimes and has other issues.

Folks, this website is not called "internet love fest". Please stop downvoting me for giving honest and complete feedback of my experience with the app.
IE7 can do inline-block but it's iffy, try giving the element "haslayout" via zoom:1 in css

#54The Sauce Labs website is really confusing.
- There's no indication that you could login using GitHub.
- There's no (obvious?) way to logout.
- There seems to be no way to login either once you've managed to logout? (without visiting /login directly)
While the product is indeed nice, the website really gives me a bad impression.

#55I was a bit worried about how this would work on a company intranet. I know my IT network security people are pretty paranoid about bridge networks and all that. Looking at Sauce Connect[1], they recommend to put the service on a dedicated machine on your intranet that you can zone off so it only has access to the parts of the network you want to allow. Seems like a decent solution to allow a running a cloud service…
Still. I feel like the price is way too much. The recommended plan is $149/month. For the long run, buying a decent machine and running your own virtual machines would be cheaper. Someone prove me wrong.
I've had great experience with http://crossbrowsertesting.com/, it costs $29.95 per month. I can't recommend it enough. You can't start a VM from a desktop program but all it takes is a few clicks in the browser, and everything works like a charm.

Ignore the app and sign-up on the website. I already had an account for the browser-based testing so I didn't experience the sign-up problems other people are describing.

Sauce for Mac is my project, and I totally appreciate the feedback. Fixes for all those comments are going directly into the queue. FWIW - it's an open source project and you can always directly get the latest download from github here: https://github.com/saucelabs/sauce-for-mac/downloads We realize the signup flow is a nightmare, the rules of the app store are not nice :-(
It's really nice that you put up the code. :)
I browsed around quickly and noticed a lot of calls to /bin/bash and curl via a system() equivalent. That looks a bit dangerous, hope the arguments never contain `special shell characters`. :O

Feedback is great! Everyone loves feedback, even if it's negative, it lets us improve and move on. How you presented your feedback was completely and utterly terrible, and turned it from constructive criticism to a situation where you looked like a bit of an ass.

#59As a long time SauceLabs customer I just tried Sauce and I am loving it!
Being able to open multiple browsers at the same time is fantastic. I can launch them at once and take a look at them. We have been using browserstack but constantly closing and opening different browsers is a lot of work. Screenshot: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/132641/screenshots/sauce.png
It also seems to be faster compare to browser based solutions.

#60Regarding iOS support.. does this just run the simulators that come with XCode? I have found that the simulators don't do a very good job of reproducing real mobile safari behavior.
Yes, at the moment, it's iPhone and iPad simulators. However, offering testing on real devices, too, is a high priority for us.
