2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, August 21, 2003

By 

KJ (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Greetings Creatacard Gold 8 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I have used earlier versions of CreataCard and have been very pleased with every upgrade. But not this time. While there are many nice graphics, the majority (and in some categories - all)of graphics require you be online to even view them. If you 'paste' the item, then you have to wait while the graphic downloads. Many of the artwork that had previously been on my PC are now only available if I'm online. I have written the company; they acknowledged that the majority of graphics were online and advised me to turn off that feature or to upgrade!!! I told them I wanted my money back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much Less Than Expected, March 15, 2005

This review is from: American Greetings Creatacard Gold 8 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I have Creatacard Gold 3 and love it. Wanted to Purchase more, but since being bought out by Broderbund, the option for expanding the cards on the CD's was taken away. The only option available is to purchase a newer version. I was okay with that, but discovered that the newer version doesn't even come close in quality, variety, or ease of use. If you've used the earlier versions and are looking for more cards, do NOT waste your money or time on this inferior product.

This review is from: American Greetings Creatacard Gold 8 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I HAVE OWNED MANY AMERICAN GREETINGS PROGRAMS IN THE PAST AND THIS ONE IS THE WORST!!...THE ONLINE IMAGES DON'T WORK FOR SOME REASON...EVERYTIME I TRY TO LOOK AT THEM THE PROGRAM SHUTS OFF ...I CAN'T EVEN DESIGN MY OWN CARD! I HAVE TO MAKE THE PRE-MADE ONES ONLY.....NO WONDER ALL THE AMERICAN GREETINGS PROGRAMS ARE DISCONTINUED AND NO LONGER HAVE ANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT AVAILABLE.....BUY HALLMARK CARD STUDIO 2004 OR PRINTMASTER PLATINUM 16.0........
