## Fences Reviews
  ### 1. Somehow Still Best In Its Class

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kit G. | Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2023

**What do you like best about Fences?**

Easy to install
Smart Folders make accessing commonly-used files deeper in directory structure from the desktop a breeze.
Desktop Pages let me switch between work modes quickly
Snapshot system makes switching between one and multiple screens convenient
My daily driver for DWM

**What do you dislike about Fences?**

Snapshot system can be buggy
Bug recently introduced that blocks mouse clicks intermittently
Rules system not flexible enough & sometimes acts counterintuitively

**What problems is Fences solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a marketer, I deal with large numbers of files, folders and programs. Keeping all of these organised is a job in itself, and being able to surface frequently-used folders quickly while keeping my desktop organised is a challenge. Fences helps me stay focused on my work by giving me the tools to ensure I have what I need when I need it, and can sort incoming files into panes for me either for folderising later, or simply leaving on desktop.

  ### 2. great way to organize your desktop

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2021

**What do you like best about Fences?**

Because you are able to organize your desktop icons, it makes it really easy to find what you are looking for and remove the clutter

**What do you dislike about Fences?**

There were some bugs a few years ago, but from what I can tell those have been resolved

**Recommendations to others considering Fences:**

If you are looking to declutter your desktop, this is a good product that is intuitive to use.

**What problems is Fences solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Really this software helps those who are overwhelmed with desktop clutter.
