Worked for a while then stopped entirely
Ive used Gear happily since 2012 until it crashes consistantly on 10.8. The developer has said its an incompatibility in one of Apples Frameworks and hes not going to fix it. However, I think this listing should refect that he doesnt support 10.8 any longer.
I also tried it today on 10.10 and it didnt play anything. That is, I clicked on music in my Google Play playlist and it "played" the track but no sound came out. If I played the same track through the Google Player Chrome extension, no problem. Google probably changed something in their codecs or something but it totally hosed this application.
The other Google Player requires Flash and is like a mini-browser. This app probably used Googles APIs to access the Google Music and now hes stuck playing catch up. Its been that way since V1. I wish there was a better widget out there.
