Poor installation, information overload

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: jpbb555 Friday, January 07 2005 @ 01:41 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

The installation tried to get me to install it somewhere I didn't want it. Then when I tried to install it to "applications" (imagine that), the installer wouldn't let me select that location. So I had to install it to some other place. I don't like making a mess on my hard drive.

Once installed, after I had to register, check my email, geez, I was not impressed and I feel like I've just wasted 30 minutes installing, registering, and giving it a try. The software is quite simply "information overload." I understand what its trying to do, and perhaps for certain people it works, but not for me.

I'd say give it a try and see if it works for you, but since the install is so poor, and you have to spend time registering just to try it, then I'd recommend skipping it completely.

Lastly, THERE IS NO UNINSTALL. Sure I trashed the main file, but if it comes with a package to install, what did it put on my HD, where, and shouldn't there be an uninstall to completely erase it all?

I guess this is the kind of junk you get when you take a Wintel app and port it.
