Powerslides Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought SummitSoft Psoftware at Best Buy and it scrambled the registry on my Dell PC. I lost the contents of the hard drive.
I restored the operating system and just out of curiosity reloaded Office and then your software and it again crashed the system and destroyed the registry.
I returned the software to Best Buy and got my money back. I told them the software not only didn't work, but was demonic.

QuickStudy Algebra Booster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is just barely tolerable. VERY superficial overview but somewhat fun and interactive. Well, that is, the two voices in the program, one male and one female seem to interact nicely. THAT's as interactive as it gets. Overally, if it says HIGH ACHIEVER or QUICKSTUDY and it's MATH-related, I would avoid it.

MY FIRST AMAZING SCIENCE EXPLORER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you have an older computer (3+ years operating system); then this software is for you..... I happened to have access to an older computer, and the software worked fine, but it was very boring and the kids were not impressed.

QuickStudy Pre-Algebra Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unfortunately, I placed an order for several QuickStudy courses (math and english) and after placing them into CD drive, I found that none of them have AUDIO in their tutorials!!
There is nothing more useless than reading "text" on a CD...
If you want to teach yourself mathematics or english...purchase a book or another tutorial product! (I recommend Jason Gibson products for mathematics..I have not found a worthy product on teaching English writing or grammar)

Carmen Sandiego Think Quick Challenge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I LOVE the Carmen San Diego products, but we purchased several that seem to install correctly, then don't work at all. This one does not function beyond the start of the game. We are VERY sad & disappointed.

My Amazing Human Body 1.2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although this game is listed as version 1.2, which is supposed to work with Windows XP, they ship you version 1.0, which doesn't. The publisher charges if you want to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.2, leaving the game unusable. Our money was refunded and they didn't make us ship the CD back, but I was left with a very disappointed 4 year old and a lot of wasted time trying to get it to work.

I Love Math 1.1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Math software that my boys actually like... and ASK to use... and play again without complaint. Nice setup, basic animation but the element of humor makes it work. There is a prepatory exercise before each question that gets the kids revved up and they don't even realize it's happening. The questions themselves require brainpower, and I feel as though they are actually learning through playing this game.

Knowledge Adventure Books by You Win/Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In reading the description, I was expecting that it would guide a child in writing their own book. NOT SO. It just has a story written out, and blanks for the child to fill in. It is NOT their own book. My daughter, who is 9 years old, is very much into writing and has written many chapters of her own imagination. I thought this product was going to help her fine-tune it and guide her along proper techniques and examples of how to perfect her writing into a book that she can be ready to publish. So, beware. This program is already a story written, just fill in the blanks.

Knowledge Adventure Books by You is a make-your-own-book software experience that ignites children's imaginations as they create and publish their own books.

Kids can add pictures, design a cover and dedicate the book to someone special. They can then publish a chapter book that they will love to read and share with friends, family and fans!

JumpStart Reading for First Graders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is fun and educational. It won't get old too quickly. It's great for ages 4-7 because it is slightly easier than the package says. If your kid is in Pre-K/Pre-school thru 2nd grade, it is great for K-1 readnig levels.

(More customer reviews)I got this over another choise because it said there was free tutoring included. When it arrived and I opened it up I was sorely disapointed to find out that there is only 30 min. of free tutoring. What a rip off. Should have went with the cheaper one.

Starry Night Pro Plus 6.2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works great on my Macbook AND my Vista machine (which is used less and less as I revel in the joy that is "Mac OS X"). The amount of information available is staggering. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the AllSky survey, but when I consider it only adds 60 to cost (compared to Pro) and other enhancements are included as well, the "Plus" is well worth it. be prepared for a total install of almost 12Gb if you copy the AllSky to the local drive (recommended).
I can certainly understand passing up Pro Plus for just Pro, but if you have the extra, I think it's well worth the money spent...***Vista issues seem to have been addressed in the current version. You may need to DL patches from the site for older ones...***

Travel where you've never been before! For the advanced amateur astronomer, the full-color AllSky CCD mosaic, sophisticated telescope controls and comprehensive observational tools included in Starry Night Pro Plus version 6 will engage you in the hobby like no other software. The biggest single addition to Starry Night software since its inception, the full-color AllSky CCD image mosaic of the entire night sky visible from Earth weighs in at 6.44 billion pixels in size. Named AllSky for its uniform coverage from pole to pole, it's a single picture of the whole sky that has been precisely mapped to Starry Night's computer generated stars and databases. View on your computer screen an image better than the best-trained human eye can capture in real-time viewing through a telescope on a "good seeing" night. See the entire Milky Way in exquisite detail and then zoom in to explore dust lanes and nebulae. Instead of dots and circles, you will see an actual photo of a star or a deep sky object. Smoothly and swiftly navigate this full color photograph of the entire night sky, to a limiting magnitude of 14-15. Five years in development, the AllSky CCD mosaic is comprised of about 20,000 individual images, originally imaged at a resolution of 12 arcseconds per pixel with a scientific grade, custom built AP9E CCD camera. In all, Starry Night Pro Plus version 6 has over 25 new features that bring more power and control to your observing and imaging. Starry Night Pro Plus will change how you look at the night sky.Hover over Earth and see details within 1 km (0.6 miles) resolutionCreate your own astrophotography using imaging plug-in to integrate Starry Night and MaxIm DL* imaging software (sold separately, Windows only) 1000+ craters, valleys and more instantly with surface feature outlines for the MoonControls most popular brands of robotic telescopes

My First Math Adventure: Adding & Subtracting 1.1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first grader loves math, and this program is great for simple addition and subtraction. There are three levels and my daughter has mastered the first. We haven't went up a level yet, but so far so good. I gave 4 stars, based on what I know of the product.
