Version: 4.5.0
If you just want to create a screensaver for OS X, try the free QuartzComposer from the Developer Tools (Xcode). It is not hard to learn and free.

Version: 4.4.4
Works perfect but I really cannot recommend this at such a high price tag.

Version: 3.5
Bought this app several years ago. They've released regular updates when OS or QT updates break functionality. Overall it works well. At first I thought it was really expensive but it's been years since I had to pay for it as the updates have been free.
Overall I think it works well for creating cross platform screensavers.

Version: 3.3
I paid for this app a while back. It sucks. Money down the drain. Draconian licensing, Stupid a$$ messages all over the screensavers. A total waste. Never published one screensaver with it.
