About OnSoftware

OnSoftware was started in the early days of 2007 as a place to open up the discussion about software and its impact on our daily lives. Forming part of Softonic.com, an archive of over 90,000 free and commercial applications, OnSoftware offers original, expert writing covering software news, reviews, help, advice and tips.

The same editors who have reviewed thousands of applications and who scour the net to keep Softonic up-to-date, bring their experience to a new format that allows for a broader discussion surrounding the central idea that software is an essential part of our daily lives.

Tom Clarke

Tom’s computing interests range from automated binary download utilities for Mac to augmented reality apps for Android. Enamored with software that really makes our lives easier or better, he loathes non-standard user interfaces, restarting after an install and aggressive Microsoft fanboys. A keen blogger in his spare time, Tom also enjoys walking the hills of his adopted home, Barcelona. Tom’s blog posts  |  Tom’s software reviews

Elena Santos

Despite her degree in English Literature, Elena has recovered nicely and now correctly spends too much time in front of the computer, like the rest of us. Everything she knows about bits and bytes is self-taught, led by her interest in technology and a healthy addiction to WoW. Elena’s blog posts  |  Elena’s software reviews

Nick Mead

Since converting from Windows to Mac, Nick has never looked back and specializes in all things OS X. After graduating in Journalism and going on to work in the dotcom boom,  Nick has since written on a wide variety of subjects for several different publications in print and online. He enjoys blogging in his spare time and reading about political issues. Nick’s blog posts  |  Nick’s software reviews

James Thornton

James has been a tech journalist for several years, and has written for and edited several PC and Internet-related magazines and web sites. His specialist field is mobile technology, and he’s always hungry to test the latest iPhone, Android and Symbian apps. James runs a satirical football blog that he updates every two years.

Jon Riggall

Jon would like to take a philosophical approach to PCs, but find it very difficult. He loves technology when it works, and hates it when it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. Equally comfortable with Windows or OSX (although much more relaxed with the latter), he loves applications that put usability first. When not in front of a computer or one of his consoles, he likes reading, going to concerts and riding his bike. Jon’s blog posts  |  Jon’s software reviews
