Although I won't be downloading this (I already have it), I felt I had to comment.

I got this about 5 months ago. Since then, I've created some great looking flyers to advertise families/friends businesses. For those who complain about the templates - use them as a guide only and incorporate your own images and text. The beauty of this program is that it takes the guesswork out of it and it's extremely easy to use.

Also, for those who say there is no way to create your own (no blank slate), please look at the *custom* option (not exactly rocket science to figure out what the word means).

I swear, whatever happened to gratitude for a free product? It seems nowadays, not only do people expect something free, but they want something that does the creative work of their brain as well. If you are going to criticize a product, look first to see if the product does what it says and contains no harmful code or unasked for *bundled* software! This product does what it says - all it requires is for people to use their creativity and brains!

These software creators don't HAVE to give their products away - and... if the unappreciative bash their efforts when they do so, where's the incentive to continue to do so?

THINK ABOUT IT.

Have tried this program before on a Windows 8 machine and it worked fine. However, as with many of these types of programs the templates weren't great. Creating something from scratch is usually best.
NOW, BEFORE POSTERS START COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SIZE OF THIS GIVEAWAYS DOWNLOAD (104MB): THE TEMPLATES INCLUDED MAKE IT A LARGER THAN NORMAL DOWNLOAD.. THE TEMPLATES. Okay? So please save the complaints for something legitimate.

It's a fair program, but nothing to write home about and the download is enormous, especially for those who don't have cable or a super fast connection. Registration is not all that simple either. My main gripe is that there is no undo or redo feature on here. To me, that's a must for any program where you are using text & graphics. You certainly don't want to have to start over every single time you make a mistake or change your mind! There's no support on here for png or tiff, only jpg, bmp and gif images...so you're limited there.

There are 122 templates to choose from, but they sure do look cheesy. Apparently, not a lot of thought went into creating them. The program does include almost 50 masks, and these are quite useful...even for other programs. Just make a template of them and use them in your other graphic programs that don't come pre-loaded with masks.

In total, I will be uninstalling this program, much too bloated in size and limited as to what you can actually do. Plus, the creator/developer did not add a feature to let you create a flyer or poster from scratch at all. Did it never cross their minds that we might actually want to creat one from scratch?? The only work-around for that is to select a template and then delete everything on it so you have a blank slate to create your own.

Out of five stars...I'd give it a one. Maybe Giovanni can come up with some much better programs.
