1.0 out of 5 stars Regarding: American Greetings CreataCard Platinum 8, March 18, 2004

By A Customer

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

I currently have American Greetings CreataCard Gold 3, and I love it. It has been so easy to use, and I like the fact that I can create an envelope, which comes up with my return address already on it, and address it with a single click of the mouse. Then I can change the font and add an image. With the Platinum 8, I have not been able to do that at all. I tried to do their "Mail Merge", even had the instructions in front of me, but it would not work. The setup is not nearly as handy to use, and it is always trying to send me to the Internet for images. I am very disappointed with this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Upgrade, February 13, 2004

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

I have Create a Card Platinum 5 and really like it. I haven't upgraded for some time because I thought it was good as is. But I decided to buy the Platinum 8 to check it out. What a rip off. Hardly any upgrades at all in the format. A few new graphics, but what was available to me before is now only available on line. I felt taken buying this and think this company should be ashamed of themselves.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from broderbund software, July 7, 2005

By 

J11-10000 (WI, USA) - See all my reviews

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

I wish I could give them zero stars.

Broderbund pulled support for software I owned only 2 years after it was released.

I was unable to install it because it required internet registration which was no longer supported. To solve the problem, they offered to SELL me a different software title.

They must have thought I was stupid. They expected me to give them more money???

This company has second rate software and third rate customer service. Do not buy anything from them.
