 A Waste of Time May 23, 2006
Dissatisfied Housewife
90% of the graphics and the templates are cheesy and ugly and old fashioned, look like the cheapest cards you get at the stock clearing sales. Only for those don't mind to spend an hour on a card - either have to do it from scratch or edit a lot from the templates just to make the card looks decent enough to send to your loved ones. Plus you can't make any scrapbook pages!!
Horrible selection of older kids' cards April 23, 2006
McKenzie Lake (Calgary)
I have joined Amazon just to express how completely disappointed I was in this product. I picked it up at Costco, hoping to save some money on birthday cards for the parties my four kids go to. I was lured by the box description that there were seemingly hundreds of card designs for every occasion. Surely I thought there would be plenty of cards that my kids who are aged 6 to 13 would use.
But when I scrolled through the birthday cards for kids, and there must have been a couple of hundred of them, there was not a single one (that's right, ZERO!) that my 8-year old boy liked. Every single one is either for very young kids, or very serious "to my best friend" type cards. Haven't the people who selected these cards ever met a boy between the ages of 7 and 12? They like cards that are funny: funny cards about animals, parents, sports, monsters, videogames, wedgies, boogers, anything! My other kids were similarly put to sleep by this selection of toddler-targeted and heart-touching drivel.
Adult cards aren't too bad, and the blank photo cards are pretty good (but it's up to you to come up with the funny lines), but I'm sure the majority of people who buy greeting card software are looking for something for kids, and unless your kids and their friends are 6 or less, or are touch-feely types who like to hug all their friends, you will be greatly disappointed by this.
One other thing that is annoying is the senseless interface; when you are scrollng through the hundreds of cards, you can only see 4 at a time (unless they are small icon-size thumbnails that you can't see), because the viewing window is so tiny - why is it not a full-screen view? Very time-consuming looking through the cards, carefully scrolling your mouse down a window that takes up a tiny spot on your screen.
Anyways, back to Costco I go, to see if any others are better.
 Greeting Cards R Fun December 3, 2005

I have used the same line of card software for years now. I ordered this wanting a change from my previous software. What a noticeable difference between the two. It amazes me that the creating process can differ so greatly from one piece of software to another, yet the end result is so similar (a greeting card).
I actually feel like I am in control of my projects with this software. Any and every small detail can be altered and personalized! I was slightly confused when I first began using this, so I called Technical Support and was actually instructed me how to effectively use this program! I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase and look forward to creating custom holiday greetings for my family and friends!
 Very Disappointed!!! September 11, 2005

I purchased this software believing it would do great. Boy, was I wrong! This program is not worth the money I spent for it. I couldn't get the program to open up my picture files from my computer or from a cd. A window kept popping up that read, "unable to insert selected graphic because it is umrecognized format or is corrupt." They were all jpeg files which this software works with & I know there is nothing wrong with them. Hallmark Card Studio 2005 opened them up just fine! Also, every Greeting Card I opened up, a thing would pop up saying that this font is no longer available & so it is replacing it with another, & so you have to click "yes" to it every time. And, I have to mention that Nova Developments tech support team, did nothing to help. I talked to two different tech support personal who heard my problem, said they would check into it, & call me back, & niether one of them called me back! After three emails & two long distant telephone calls, that also cost me money, I gave up & took the program back to the store I purchased it from & luckily got a refund. Be very careful purchasing this program.
Nice program August 20, 2005

This is a functional greeting card creator. There are some minor issues, not being able to see the inside/back of the cards until you select them and having to figure out how to install the additional clipart is a trick with the poor instructions, but if you know anything about a computer, this software wont' be a problem for you.
