Awful Demo

Feedback Type: Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

The demo is for 40 activities. That means a list of 40 activities in the activities window not activations as I read it. This means that after 40 you can't save. Unfortunately the reminder of this is ambiguous. I wish it had read "You have created 40 activities and are no longer able to save. Please buy a license etc etc etc". It would spare the ‘gung ho’ like me spending all morning creating a demo template of over 100 activities and not reading the alert properly. I lost the mornings work. Yes I know, I know. I should read it very carefully and all that but on hitting APPLE S I though I WAS saving and that the pop up was just a reminder.

Awful Demo - ProjectWizards

Thanks for the suggestion. First we thought bothering too much is a bad idea, and 90% of our testers could live with that. But since loosing productive data is a very bad thing, we implemented it. With the next update you'll get more obvious indicators whether you're working on a demo or not.

But a more general hint: It is not always a good idea to start productive work in a test version ;-)
