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.

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.

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.

I don't know what the heck is up? Has anyone noticed that W95.CIH.Damaged was included with this CD??? Great. I pay all this money, and now I have an (considered to Norton) "unremovable" virus, and that the CD was infected.

Want a virus? Try this CD.

Disappointing! Had used AGC 7 for a couple of years when somehow it started to log out during the middle of a session. I hoped upgrading to AGC Platinum 8 would elimnate the problem. Still have the same problem. Broderbund offers no solution.

This soft ware wasn't what I expected.I had been using American Greetings Creatacard 6 for a while.Both had simular art and activities.Wasn't much different,but 6 costed 10.00 less than 8.I wish I hadn't purchased it.Seller was great but I was disapointed in product.

I've been using CreataCard for eight years. This is my third updated version. The previous version was Gold 2. I have to agree with the other two who wrote their reviews, in that I was disappointed. What I really missed was the rotating screen saver. Another feature that was changed was the art format, which you could open like a book. I'm fortunate in that I still have the Gold 2. If this is your first version of CreataCard, it's worth the buy. If you have, as I do, Gold 2, save your money. In all fairness, since I didn't pay full price, I have chosen to keep the Platinum 8 version, but I will not buy another update.

So far this is a real dud, much less then I had expected. I have used creatacard 3 plus in the past and this can't come close to being as nice as that one. Platinum 8 does not have the calender with all of the holiday capabilities. I am having trouble printing out my calender in the landscape mode. "Forget me not" will not appear when I turn on my computer which I miss a lot.

I'm a big fan of AG CreateaCard - version 7. Was looking forward to this one, but had to send it back. The kidPix module never worked at all. Often times when I had the program running, it would shut down without notice and I'd have to reboot my NEW system. Just didn't work for me!

Fewer items (card,artwork, etc.)needing to be downloaded off of the internet! MORE graphics! You can now save your projects in PDF File Format! There are now seals (not the kind that swims in water) and timepieces that can be used. More decorative numbers & letters. MORE craft projects than ever before! And now the KidPix Software Application available right at your finger-tips. WOW, what a blast to work with! Iam able to send this to you because I was able to get the DVD version directly from Broderbund a few days ago. VERY PLEASED with this program.
