Version: 3.16.0
5-star app, with no doubt. Free, open source and able to open/import previous projects from paid/subscription apps. Vast open source global effort to produce plugins to add to functionality. Ditto help and information resources. Best in its field and highly recommended.

Version: 3.8.3
It is the best program for GIS in Mac OS. It has developed very well recently. All kinds of documents are also available.

Version: 2.8.1
The requirements are wrong it needs GDAL 1.11 and Mac OS X 10.7

Version: 1.8.0
32 Bits Intel Mac Users, beware that since QGIS 1.7 the binary package is 64 bits compatible only, so much for the open source spirit...!

Version: 1.7.4
It seems the GDAL upgrade from 1.9 to 1.10 changed the way CSV files are handled so that I now have a non-functioning QGIS. App hangs trying to import csv data file when previously had no problems with this and other csv text files.
I have deleted all data files, all files in the hidden .QGIS folder, all prefs and caches etc yet the app continuously tries to load the problematic file that I have deleted. Even replacing the bad file with another CSV file that works in another project fails to prevent the hang.
So now I have to recreate the project with customised colour schemes and 100s of hours of devt over the last 6 months while QGIS was stable.
User beware! GDAL 1.10 may result in catastrophic failure of your QGIS projects
