But its not in the main reviews, its tucked away in the Mac Gems section as one of ‘the best OS X utilities and Mac accessories that make life easier’, along with reviews of a desktop world clock app and $10 fractal generator.
It does get 5 stars and an ‘Editors’ Choice’, but I feel Freeway is worthy of a full review and maybe even a how-to-use feature.
Also the last line in the review isn’t that flattering…
“Coupled with a decent HTML editor, it’s a great application to have in your arsenal”.
Can someone post a link to the review? All I find are little snippets about it’s [formerly] pending release.

I think it may be print only so you’ll need to buy the magazine to see it. I could be wrong though.

Mm, yes. It is great that it got the five-star rating, but that’s a
curiously uninformed comment to make.
It is always very difficult for a journalist who may be a part-time
web designer (which normally means non-professional, non-serious) to
understand when something that works differently from the norm is a
Good Thing. It will generally feel safer for them to drop in a caveat
just to cover their backside, even if the caveat is based on
non-specific, handed-down ‘wisdom’ rather than understood fact.
But still, it is great that it got five stars! In the long term that
rating might be the most valuable part of the whole shebang; that’s
the nugget of gold, the soundbite that can be dropped into marketing
material.
