Even though I downloaded the ware when abut 15 mts was left over, and download took hardly 2 mts, when I tried to run the Setup program, it returned with "Failed to connect. Please try again later ..". I kept retrying till now, almost 30 mts past the time, but all I got was the same message. I am not sure what went wrong with GOTD website, as during this interval, I was able to browse other sites, and when I pinged the "giveawayoftheday.com" I got replies without any misses!!! Strange !!! I am sorry to report that I was unable to install the software.

I couldn't do anything with it so I just uninstalled it. It's a trash program written by an amateur programmer who's hoping to get as much money for this cheaply tossed out junk as a professional program would charge.

The price of $79 is crazy :!: This is a very basic drawing software that is missing some key features that would only make it marginal at best. :( The developers are only out for the quick buck and this one isn't worth it. :!: (yes, I know it is free today but I am letting the developers know that if I were looking for this type of software I would not purchase it because they are way off base on their normal price) I wasn’t going to comment because most of what I have to say has been said already but I had to add my opinion to the rest.

On the comparison to today's offering, I'm simply saying that, as far as math teaching is concerned, Geogebra can do everything that this program does, as a small fraction of its capabilities.
