Be Very Careful with this!

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

Avery DesignPro Mac OS X is buggy! While it is free, and quite functional, I had it crash my system twice now, and it saves completed forms in quirky ways, sometimes not saving them or saving a blank form where there should have been data. Also the support in India or whereever, has no clue about these issues. Their basic answer to almost any question is delete the application and re-install it, and oh-by-the-way delete cookies in your browser before you download...

I found that when DesignPro crashes it screws up lots of things, requiring permissions repairs in Disk Utility and crashing other apps that happen to be open at the same time. It is true that reinstalling the app/package does temporarily fix the problem however. This is a non-standard app, so beware Mac heads!

Be Very Careful with this! - info3982

I found that at least one form in the DesignPro app Avery #11201 will NOT save and the support's answer is to use the Windows version as it's at 5.4 not 1.0.0 as the Mac version. Obviously they have NO upgrade path for a crippled version of Mac software.

This is nutty!

Also their version of installer is such that you can't uninstall it completely. Both resources and prefs are stored elsewhere and not easily removable.
