Your videos are always the ones I send to people when I force Alfred on them

[justinlloyd-jones]

I am literally only 30 seconds in and already, I know I'm going to watch the whole video 😂. Love the opening. Here goes ...

This was such a warm welcome to Alfred. I love the way you've described all the features whilst making me laugh throughout. Honestly one of the best videos out there. Thanks!

[PatriciaGreen]

Oddly enough, I just watched your previous Alfred video two days ago. This one is much better. I got a lot from v.1, but it was too fast for me to pick up everything. This went at a much more usable pace. Good work. I've had Alfred for a while, but was not utilizing it well. Now I will!

My last Mac was an iBook G3 Snow White back in 2002. As someone returning to Macs (kudos MBA M1) your video was a real masterclass about using Alfred for daily tasks. The production of the video is top-notch, and you are a good teacher. As a foreigner, I should remark that your calm pace and clear pronunciation made me enjoy your entire class with no problems at all.

Muito obrigado.

Excellent job. Definitely better than other Alfred feature vids. Thanks! :)

[lekkerbusyrick]

This video is very clear and helpful. Also, your voice is great to listen to!

[ekx]

Thank you! Fab intro, to the point tips. I had it installed as soon as I got my first ever Mac last month, but never really saw how it could help me. It's so deep, almost too much to toy with, I love it!

[MikeyGlazer]

Thanks for the remake! I come back and watch your videos all the time b

[maaikees]

This was oddly relaxing because of your voice

[hexworthy]

Congratulations on a fantastic video, I have just got Alfred and this is perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video.

[CarlovanHouten]

Newbee on MacBook. Figuring out Alfred so thanks for your video!

[sarahFYI]

Yay! So happy you released this series. Alfred has become essential for my search stuff but I've felt like I haven't been using it to it's full potential. Really enjoyed this video, thank you!

[Trapson]

This video was incredibly helpful, thank you!

[apostolis_]

Great video and to the point!! Thank you and greetings grom Greece!

[EliteSurfCoaching]

Your intro is so funny!

I'm super interested in everything related to the Alfred app. I saw all your Alfred videos and I'm looking forward to your new videos with your own funny and serious at the same time style, I like your way of communicating to us how it is work. Congratulations on your job 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[robinandthedog]

Great video again sir! I love your new setup and presentation style..

[jokeslife]

ive been waiting for more Alfred stuff BOOOYYYEEAAHHHH

[RichardRegalado]

Hi. How can I make Alfred search files in my Google Drive?

[FloydDiamond]

I find the app very interesting, but I miss one point that Apple Spotlight fulfills wonderfully: Spotlight also searches the contents of documents - which is very useful for my work. I somehow don't get that with Alfred - which I find very unfortunate. Or can someone help me?
