Art Explosion Greeting Card Factory Deluxe 2

Rating:
Summary: worst program ever
Review: I was very disappointed with this program. Sentiments were uncreative. The art was pretty primitive. The advertising offered much more than you get: pop-ups consisted of only one kind of simple pop-up; I expected more. It touted store-quality cards, but Hallmark has no comptetition here. There are hundreds to thousands of sentiments for each catagory, but after going through a couple hundred of each I only found a handful I would use and those were unimaginative. The Easter catagory was all bunnies and eggs--no Easter symbols or greetings at all. If I could delete the parts I'd use, I would end up with about 25% of this program useful to me. Also I had trouble opening files on disks 3 and 4. The file icons appeared, but when you clicked on them most were empty. And I couldn't open any of the font files. I did like the special effects for text, the craft catagory, the stationary set, and photo editing. I would not recommend this program unless it is drastically improved. It's way too expensive for what you get.

Summary: worst program ever
Review: this is the worst investment of 40 dollars you could ever spend. do not get this program. i am mad i got it, and i got it free with rebates. its bad because it doesn't center the cards or anything so you are constantly having to reprint everything because it didn't print right the first time. forget about quarter folding with this program, because it will just mess up the configuration of everything else. i dont even want to learn how to use it. i would give it 0 stars, but 1 is the lowest i can give.

Summary: Great if you want cheap-looking cards
Review: You can create the same results with Microsoft Word. The most obvious card, like you could find at any Eckerd drugs, is not possible with this program. Save your money.
