In fact, I was a little mad about this program, though it is a good production with powerful functions, but, not easy to use~~ Stephen

I had tried to download but couldnt get it to work. I also have Windows Vista. I decided to wait for my husband to look at it but didnt realize these downloads are only good for one day. This was my first visit to site. There is no way to still get it free is there? Darn, maybe next time.

Received an email from the site. This free version is not a full version and does not have all the templates that you would normally get if you purchase the full version. They quoted me a 29.95 price for the combo pack which has two programs with all the templates. Feels like a bait and switch when you go to buy the program. Absolutely LOVE this program tho. I look at GAOTD every day and I personally cant use many programs. But this one I definately had to have. Too bad I lose the program at uninstall or computer crash.

I was wondering if there is any way you can do a do over. It looks like most Vista Users like me were able to download the software but unable to register it, I would really like to have this. Please consider a do over.

To #127 – Save the zip file to your hard drive.

That same thing happened to me three times when I chose to ‘open’ using WinZip as I normally do. But when I actually saved the .zip file to my hard drive and then unzipped from there I had no problems.

Same problem as #96. Installed twice following activation instructions BOTH times activating BEFORE running setup. Program just will not start. Click the program icon and NOTHING HAPPENS.

First disappointment with Wondershare ever. Guess this is the one that “got away”!!!

Running XP PRO w/SP3.

I’ve downloaded this program twice approx 5 hrs apart and both times when I’ve tried to unzip the file I’ve been told that it’s not a valid zip file and that it has a bad header file. I’ve tried unzipping with winzip and IZArc and have received the same message in both programs.

I have XP SP3 not Vista but the writeup says I should be able to install the program as I have the required system requirements.

Thought this would be a good program to try, but as I can’t unzip the file to install the program, I guess I might have been mistaken.

Not bad.Personally I use a program called ‘Scrapbook Factroy Deluxe’ and then I take images from there into Adobe Photoshop, but wanted to see what this one had.

I didn’t keep this one, but I will say it’s not too bad. It’s got some decent features and the fact that it used layers is a plus.

This GAOTD version doesn’t have very many templates though. And regarding that I’d like to point this out to the developers:

You are offering additional templates to GAOTD users for a low fee (I say low, because as a designer I know what kind of work goes into these things) BUT….if a person pays for the additional content, and then loses the hard drive or buys a new machine, then this program is gone…can’t be installed again after today, hence they would be out the money they spent for the additional templates.

The interface is clean, but a tad confusing with it’s ‘mystery meat navigation’. Example –> The undo is an arrow that isn’t marked with any text. Also the File menu is in an odd place, not where one expects it to be right up top. I’d suggest you re-think your GUI a bit and make it more ’standard’ and clearly marked with text options as well as the graphical elements.

This program might work well for an average home user to make some cutsey things for the family album, but for me personally the results just aren’t polished and professional enough.

The program I mentioned above is more expensive, but used in conjunction with the high end Photoshop I get good results.

If you are looking for serious collage software, be prepared to spend the bucks….well work it for Lumapix FotoFusion.

A decent free prgram? Scrapbook Flair.

While this GAOTD version is extremely limited in what you get, at 20.00 for what you get for the paid version? While not for me because I want higher end/higher quality, I do think it’s worth it for the average home user who will print these at home.

So all in all….while not quite ‘good enough’ for me personally I’m giving this a thumbs up.
