Happy Holidays to all the GOTD users and bypassers! Happy New Year!
It’s no secret we treat giveaway users with our traditional “The Best of” re-runs. Good news, guys! We did everything to get the highlights of 2011 at the same time this year as well. Starting January 2 we are holding our annual parade of the most worthy software of 2011. We insist that you get your laptops ready as it gonna be damn hot!
We’ve chosen a baker’s dozen of real hits, but still we can’t give you the names of those (nobody here wants to spoil the surprise). Except for quite a few names of developers. Engelmann, Paragon Software, Bitsum Technologies, Wondershare and others are going to take the floor one day each.
Well, that’s only half of the story. We are preparing the ground for a royal gift in the middle of January. “Any” Office fans better start anticipating right now. ;)
Since New Year is a holiday when dreams come true we are eager to try and bring to life some of your sacred software dreams. So think it over thoroughly and tell us what you wish to get from Giveaway in 2012. Post it either here as a comment or on Forum (which is open 24/7, by the way). :)
Warm regards,
Giveaway of the Day project team.
I want Tuneup Utilities 2012.
i’d like to get focus photoeditor
Awaiting for the reruns. Thank You GAOTD.
I would love a fabulous website design software!
Thanks for everything all year long.
FastPictureViewer will be nice again because key is lost by changing the hardware
My wishlist for 2012:
Lighttek’s Talisman, ConceptDraw Office (talking about Office surprise…), OSLoader2000, Essential PIM pro Network, CDshield, PStray Factory, Robofolder, Direct Access.
As for game, an old giveaway’s partner has launched a brand new game, Hacker Evolution: Duality. He and we deserve that…
Thank you for 2011 and have a great new year all!
I love a “repeat” page…system crashed and I lost everything!!! Thanks GAOTD!
Zoner Photo Studio 14 PRO would be great, if you can please
Or any Club Membership Software
You guys rock! Have a great New Year!
I would love to see DVDFAB again!!!!! I missed it the first time and have been checking every day for it’s return.
MediAvatar Video Converter would be great, if possible.
Definitely GAOTD ROCKs. Thanks for all the wonderful softwares. Wishing you a very best 2012.
I am wishing for a re-post of Web Page Maker. I missed that one, but a friend got the download, and has built a complete first time website for herself, using this software. The site looks professional. I was surprised.
HAPPY NEW YEAR GOTD staff, and everybody else!
Bitsum technologies! All hail! It’s a real keeper but my brother insisted that he hate the nag screen-i missed the giveaway-I’ll get the full version for good!
Wishlist? Adobe After Effects and Photoshop wouldn’t certainly make it to this site-it’s definitely a dream for now, but Alcohol 100% would be nice, and Scrivener that has recently released windows version.
Anyway, i’m awaiting the re runs and another plethora of free gems this year!
I want Windows 8. :P Ok, ok, just having some fun. I do have to agree that Alcohol 100% would be awesome. Even better would be to see big name software show up more often. Have a happy new year all of you.
Sounds wonderful – looking forward to the upcoming software goodies – and a very happy, healthy new year to GOTD team and everyone.
I would like to see more MAC offerings. You do a great job with windows, could you try for more MAC software versions. Thanks, loved this site when I had a windows system, but still cheek it daily
I’d like to see you offer Rip Tiger again. I purchased a full version so I have one (for one computer). I’ve been using it a very long time. It grabs stubbornly un-captureable video and music streams effortlessly.
For the parents a good child safety device for her kids =)
Thanks for everything all year long.
HAPPY NEW YEAR GOTD team, and everybody else!
Würde mich sehr über Bandicam von Bandisoft(May 2011)freuen!
Speech recognition and/or voice-to-text!
Know that speech recognition is included in Windows 7, but not all of them have that.
Am looking for these for some friends with hand disabilities due to various combinations of age, arthritis, stroke, and other problems.
Software I would like to see this year:-
A PDF writer
a Photo editing program
An Improved version of explorer
a link page to the locations for free software
You guys are so cool to think of a Best Of session — it sounds excellent. Thanks in advance! :D
For game-related ideas, I recently bought Alawar’s Smash Frenzy 3 (I think it’s the best of a series of at least 4) and have a blast with it. Their Strike Ball series of 4 or more is also good, based on playing their demos. I bet you’d have a hit on your hands if you guys featured one or more of those series, and I remember they’ve appeared here before.
Alawar’s Turtix series is fun too, although the first one’s kind of buggy on my system — all of these are less oriented towards “winning” and more toward having fun in the game environment.
Anyway, happy new year! Thanks for remembering the Mac sometimes. :)
Thanks so much to GAOTD, to all software vendors who contributed in 2011, and to all who posted helpful reviews/comments. For reruns I would request SmartDiary Medical Edition and AvioSoft Video Converter Pro if the latest version could be offered. In any case, thanks!
I need Whitesmoke / Ginger writing software. Please included this in the giveaway.
happy happy to all and good nite…..
I would personally love to see Bandicam run again… ;)
Happy New Year, people at GOTD, and thanks for all the daily fun and surprises. I’m delighted to hear that you are “eager to try and bring to life some of our sacred software dreams”! Since you have asked the question so nicely, my dream giveaways are ArtRage and Scrivener. Fingers crossed.
Even less realistically, I’d also love to see you offer some tools for PHP developers, for example Zend Studio; content management systems, for example ExpressionEngine; and maybe some powerful commercial WordPress plugins or tutorial site memberships.
Thank GAOTD team for all you guys do. Happy New Year..may 2012 be better than 2011 for everyone.
key one-year free license to use norton internet security was great to welcome new year
I would love to see Simpo PDF Merge/Split again. Love this site and Thanks for everything!
Happy New Year to all (yes, it’s a bit late, but I was having a nap :P )
I’m hoping to see some good photo editors – with layers and dodge&burn and so on… any change of Sagelight perhaps? Or maybe CodedColor again?
Thanks guys’n'gals, you all do a great job getting us anything at all – and there’s been some real winners this last year or three! ;)
Among my most favorite previous giveaways that I would love to have new versions of: Anvir Task Manager and Zoner Photo Studio. I would also love to have a good text-to-speech converter with high quality voices, and a really good PDF-to-Doc converter. (I’m trying to restrain myself from asking for too many giveaways.)
Thanks very much for all the great giveaways so far!
just following MELODY: why not Adobe Photoshop Elements?
thanks
I think the office surprise will be softmaker…
It’s the only “reliable” paid office product other than Microsoft Office and Microsoft Works…
I highly doubt Giveaway of the Day will have a Microsoft giveaway anytime soon.
PlayClaw would be a great giveaway to redo. I missed it at first and now wish I had been watching this site more often.
I would love to see Sticky Password again
I wish to get File Renamer Deluxe by Kristanix Software, and a good PDF scanner/writer. Thank you GAOTD. Happy New Year!
I would love to see the Mysterious Past of Gregory Phoenix again. I lost it when I moved to a new computer. Thanks for all you do!

First, thank you, thank you, thank you! Second, I hope all of GOTD has a wonderous New Year.
Please, please, as an person who needs speech to text to be in contract with the world, could you find a non-Nuance program? Their support is terrible and no company has earned such negative customer feedback.
Software I would like to see this year(rerun):
WinXDVD
Zemana Antilogger
DVDFab
There are sooo many 2 choose from so I couldnt pick, all the best for 2012 u lot do an amazing job 2 thumbs up.
Truly wishful thinking would be Musicnizer (Maniac Tools).
From the previous dept: CodedColor, Bolide and Winstep Nexus.
I missed the GOTD for iSpring presenter last year. I would really appreciate if there is another giveaway for this great software.
Thanks also for the other great softwares at GOTD website.
Hi, happy 2012! I’d like to suggest PhraseExpander by Andrea Nagar and Recent X, both of which I have found useful in the past.
Total Commander
Winrar
AcdSee
..I’d like to get :]
Regards
happy new year GOTD, thanks for all the software. My wishlist?
Wondershare Democreator (had it but lost it during a crash)
System Mechanic Pro(I know IOLO is not yet here but one can hope right?)
Some video and sound editing software would be nice (Cyberlink power director, Pinnacle Studio HD come to mind)
enough of the converters already
I would love to see some apps for tablets.
For a 2012 offering how about Paragon recovery software that INCLUDES the PE recovery disk image!!!
Happy New Year
I would love to see three programs
Keyscrambler
Internet Download Manager
Macrium Pro
Ah….In my dreams
There are two programs thatI previouslt got from this site.
1) Was an underwater screensaver that had reeds flowing.
2) Was a game where a robot entered a building and had to move objects to reveal things to collect and he laid bombs to blow his way through.
My wishlist is
Directory opus !
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice 2012!
In my dreams … Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete …
Realistically:
- BatteryBar Pro
- KeyScrambler Pro/Premium
- Revo Uninstaller Pro
Thanx Your works before & after!
LOVE GOTD! Have gotten so many decent programs here. It would be awesome if you could get Malwarebytes to give a 1 year subscription to their full version software.
Thanks!
Dear GOTD team:
You wrote on your blog that repeats of favorite 2011 offers would start on January 2. I have not seen any of them, has there been a delay? (I am hoping that you just needed some extra time to arrange for my favorites, like Anvir Task Manager.)
Please don’t take me as unappreciative. I am very grateful for all the wonderful programs you have supplied me over the several years I have been visiting your site daily.
I hope to see the new year’s giveaways soon. Thank you again.
a good photo background remover
photo enhancements or any
photo changing programes
would be great
I would love a great text-to-speech converter with high voice quality. That would make my year.
Thanks to GOTD for all your hard work and offers; and, to the constructive Commenters from whom I’ve learned so much and found free program alternatives. You guys rock.
Happy New Year.
Just to mention a couple more dream giveaways: if you could give away Corel Painter Essentials or Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, you would make a lot of creative people extremely happy.
Anyway, thanks so much for all your munificence. I’ve acquired some excellent software here, some of which I use all the time, and today’s offering of Process Lasso is right up there in the top five.
I want Almeza MultiSet Professional
I too would like to see a re-run of The Mysterious World of Gregory Phoenix, had to replace my hard drive and saved copy on external hard drive says it has now expired??? also anything from and from Alawar
and Awem Studios
Happy New Year GOTD!
I would love to see the updated version of ‘DVDFab’ that software was brilliant and the simplest to use for someone who’s not technically minded (what does mounting ISO’s mean?) so yeah, DVDFab rocks!
I like a newer Version of Womble Mpeg Video Wizard DVD, that you last given away on the 16th of September 2009.
I would like to see something from iSpring
Last year we had iSpring Presenter. That’s a very good piece of software, but it’s nog new anymore, there are newer versions with different names. SO I would like to see something from Ispring, e.g. iSpring Suite (the best :D :P ), iSpring Pro, iSpring Kinetics, iSpring Quizmaker 6.0 (that one has survey options :) ).
I would like the full version of Yankee Clipper
I would love to get photoupz again.
Please, please, PLEASE: Repeat/renew DVD FAB.
Thanks for another great year, GAOTD. You’re the BEST.
PLEASE give WonderShare a break . Damn . How many times were they offered up last year ? 300 days ? Seems like every other day they are on here .
I would like to see Total Commander here. :-)
I want Video to DVD
Dream Giveaway: Adobe Photoshop. Enough said.
But still, thank you GOTD for everything you give us. I’m truly thankful to all of your giveaway softwares. :)
Happy New Year GOTD! I’d love to see Snowfox DVD Ripper as an offering this year.
Happy New Year to all the staff at GOTD. Thanks for all the great software.I would really like a program to update drivers if possible.
Hi ;)
I would love to see Dreamweaver offered again and the Wondershare software (had several software items) which is excellent and trustworthy.
There was another program that I got here (lost the name) which enabled repetitive tasks to be done easily (not macros). This one software made many things you do on your computer each day – automatic. I know I’m being vague and I apologize. I do remember that they were a fairly well known and reliable software company.
Thank you so much and happy to see you still here for another year! ;)
Zoner Photo Studio 14 PRO. I started using version 13 from GOTD and it is very powerful. I have PhotoShop Elements 9 and for some things I like Zoner better. Easier to use some functions.
DVDFab was the one most useful program I ever got from GOTD. Would love to see another year’s license on that one!
All aspect of Microsoft office
I’d like to see Bandicam screen recorder offered.
I need pro sound editor
Thanks GOTD!
I would love a High End Sound Converter/Editor Program!
Many thanks for all the great software offered free of charge. You have never offered an email marketing suite. This would be a very useful addition to my library of software.
Thanks for great stuff. I would like to see a scan-to-PDF program that works better than the print-to-PDF program did for me…I also would absolutely love, need, be thrilled with a data recovery program for images accidentally wiped from memory cards along with its MFT/MBR or whatever it is that FAT-32 creates on the cards. 100 year flood pix, shots of a lifetime, disappeared while transferring, I know they are still there, sure would like to bring them back! Test-Disk and Pandora didn’t do it…
Another vote for DVDFab. Thanks for the opportunity to try out great software.
if possible it would be a great help for people like me if you could at sometime offer virus protection thank you for your site you are the best
to 100 mindymac try zar zero access recovery.
to gotd, thank you for everything. much appreciated.
Thx In Advance … Repeat Of “Likno Web Accordion” Pls … http://www.likno.com/jquery-accordion/index.php
I would like to see an unlimited period of DVDFab and iCare Data Recovery software please. Thanks for all of the great software you provided last year and I look forward to many more this year!
i add my vote for ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2012, already requested by two other fans.
thanks
I need camprog pro, thanks very muach GOTD….
I’d love to see the latest version of Zoner Photo Studio, not the standard version that we usually get but the Pro version.
I’d also like to see a re-run of the commercial version of Game Booster
as well as an all round video editing/recording/conversion and playback software that includes the ability to splice video together. I know Camtasia is out of the question, but it would be fantastic if you could find something similar.
Capture Wiz Pro would also be a nice catch. great software. I’ve actually got the latest version, but though i would suggest it as another possibility.
Finally a decent database program that enables me to list all of the files on the hundreds of back up DVD’s and CD’s that I have. If possible to include music CD’s. we were given such a program some years ago, but I can’t remember the name of the software.
Thanks in advance if any of my wish’s come true. :)
I’d love to get a photo editing program that you can add people to photo. My husband passed away in August 9, 2012. We never took time to get a family photo made. I’d like to get a photo made of me and my boys and then add my husband to the picture so that we could have a family photo. The family photo is what I asked for every holiday and we never got one made. So I really hope we get an awesome photo editor to make my family photo.
Forget about Tuneup Utilities 2012. It’s one of the software companies without the proper design ethics. The program is worst than a malware.
Its very sticky and almost impossible to uninstall.
Anyway, registry cleaning does not help with performance. It’s a gimmick started off by malware or scareware providers / developers.
We need quality programs that are unknown. E.g. for all this time, I have only heard of overpriced Acronis in this economy, Until I tested EaseUs Backup. It’s simpler, get to the point solution! It’s companies like these deserves to be known rather than being monopolised by giants that has forgotten and don’t listen to their customers.
Good job…for the recommendation.
Thank you.
Daniel Ng
I would like to Nuance-Paperport, please.
Thanks for the great software offered here last year and also so far this year. I would love to see Aiseesoft Streaming Video Recorder, Rip Tiger and HD Audio Recorder offered on GAOTD in 2012.
Maybe you can make available Winzip 16(or newer if it comes) as a giveaway or a multimedia program like Cyberlink Power DVD.
honeslty i would like to see either sony vegas(recent version) or adobe after effects….lots of movies to make….
I would like to get enginsite php editor and Focus Photoeditor
WILL GIVEAWAY GIVE US A GOOD VIDEO EDITOR,WITH WATERMARK OPTION.
