Winsome One "Winny" - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Love Spelling (CD-ROM)

I do not think that the product lives up to expectations. There is not much room for personalizing and it lacks creativity in the way the product teaches. I think with a bit more 'elbow grease' and thinking, this product could have been amazing.

More cons:

It does not allow you to enter your own words nor does it allow you to modify any of the word groups given.

Some word groups are disjointed and have no set pattern. Bought this product today and am thinking of returning.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for OS-X Macintosh, June 19, 2009

This is ancient software. I thought that they had updated it. Apparently not. This is for OS-9 Macs and was not so-marked. If you have a modern Mac, do not buy until they specify that this is OS-X capable.
