No offence, but this is too complicated, its spread out everywhere and no where, so many icons, and at the end of the day, the value just isn't there. It would seem to me that the time spent learning the program wouldn't be worth it, given the time frame of the licence. I could probably get more done by hand rather than take the time learning this.

I doubt I'd even buy this, not at the asking price, because the benefits in this case do not outweigh the negatives.

The negatives includes a lack of help, you NEED to do it all yourself, all this program seems to do is order itself into tasks to be done, so really, what are the benefits if I have to do all the hard work myself anyhow.

Giving up control, rather, ALL the control to this program makes me uneasy. If I were to be allowed to keep control and have the hard work done for me then, maybe. As it is... no.

This was a waste of my time! The program consists of 5 components - only 1 of which you get a key to use, the rest are restricted use and you can't save your work which makes the learning curve a complete vertical. At $125 for licence that's good for a short period and then monthly fees to keep using it. Sounds more like extortion than it does useful software. Why would I waste my time trying to learn this software, only to have it scraped at the end of the day - pointless endeavour.

Want an improvement hint. Make it one piece of software with one licence instead of 5 pieces with as many licences. Don't try getting rich off each customer who comes along. Make software that actually does something in the time people are licensed to try it, or give away a more useful licence.

That's the gist, the rest are rants!!

If the software does all the work for me, great, but if I still have all the grunt work to do - that's why I have an assistant, I don't see the benefit of this soft ware and with 5 separate components, a licence fee of $125 each - oh I know, they are not individually priced components today - or are they?

How long till they are - pay a licencing fee for each component of a program you already paid for? So what did I buy with my purchase of the software?

In the end, this looks more like a licence for the company to demand yet more money each time you want to use some aspect of the program. Having it split up like this is a sure indicator of "The Shape of Things to Come"

I'm sure there will be other companies offering this type of software that will actually provide a functional piece of software.

Am I impressed? Only with the audacity of $200 for something you have to rent, sounds like I'm looking for a condo or something. I'll stick with the software and companies who don't try to get rich just from my use of their software.

Eric,

So, the $199 is for the program and 6 months, which is on sale on their site. Then in order to keep it up to date you must purchase the maintenance which is

1 month $6.95
6 months $34.95 (= $5.83/mo)
12 months $49.95 (= $4.16/mo)
24 months $79.95 (= $3.33/mo)
36 months $109.95 (= $3.05/mo)

I have tried 5 times to run the setup from two different downloads of the zip archive. No success. I never see any installation form, UI, nothing.

As good as the promotion for this sounds, it appears that I'll have to pass on the three month trial offer.
