2.0 out of 5 stars Needs to get the tweaks out, July 6, 2009

By 

Reb (Longboat Key, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MyLabel Designer Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Each design component of this program is easy to understand and quite similar in execution to other label programs on the market. But it was not a stable program on my VISTA operating system, nor was it entirely on XP. Often the existing files were difficult to find and, when found, opened up incredibly slowly. Then, when opened, objects you thought you had placed accurately and saved in position were overlapping or otherwise moved, or they had disappeared entirely. Esssentially, then, I was just rebuilding the label all the time. Then, when pritning the labels, some did not align. I had no problem with 4 x 1 or other return address labels aligning properly. But no amount of calibration got standard business cards to align.

From Avery's website, I thus downloaded a free program that offers all the design options offered by MyLabel. It saves the labels accurately, and it aligns the labels and business cards better. It's also a lot easier to operate--except for the printing options.

But the only advantage the MyLabel program has over the Avery is that the printing options are superior. You can do a print preview and just "X" out the labels you want to skip on MyLabel. The Avery free program's printing options are more complicated. I still haven't figure the out.

Even so, once I installed Avery's free program, I uninstalled MyLabel, after using it for years, flaws and all. It simply never interfaced well with VISTA or XP, and it became more trouble than it was worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very easy to use., October 31, 2009

By 

Tried It (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MyLabel Designer Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Not very easy to use.

Help files are not very well organized.

Simple label task become a nightmare and can take hours to research often resulting in not being able to accomplish what I need to do
Text fields are not easy to place and align. This is NOT a WYSIWYG designer. I often have to accept overlapping text fields in the designer,
so it creates a lot of trial and error printing.

Increment a simple numeric filed becomes an absolute nightmare !

I don't want or should not need to create data entry table etc just to print ten labels with one simple field that increments by 1 from 5001 to 5010
The on line help is not good. I have a very fast internet connection but still loading a help subject can take MINUTES.
I noticed when the online help is active my system cpu usage pops up to 100% (quad core Xeon 2.8GHz) when I kill the on-line help cpu usage drops to normal.
Clearly a problem with the help engine code.

This my an humble evaluation, and I really wish some company will soon produce a "real EASY to USE label design program".

I've tried several. Each one I've tried has something good, but end up with poor UI.

Conclusion: Don't waste your money on this product.

MrFelix (CA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MyLabel Designer Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Easy to use, could do all the items I needed to. However this was my second upgrade, and some of my data base and lables didnt transfer from the old version to the new, which ment hrs of re-designing. parts of the new program didnt load and THEN IT HAPPEND ! WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE PROGRAM IT LOCKED UP MY WHOLE COMPUTER. After getting my computer up and running I contacted their customer service dept, short of disasembaling my computer and hrs of install, remove, reboot and everything else the common user doesent know or want to deal with, they just stoped responding to my e mails. Iffy.
