My Review 

Ignore Coffee Cup’s marketing. Their software is NOT easy-to-use.

There is nothing intuitive or user friendly about this product. Get ready to read a 131 page .pdf manual because nothing is intuitive. Don't believe their 'easy to use' marketing messages. There is no wizard and no step-by-step instruction even if you do want to learn it. Absolutely infuriating. It was a total waste of $140.00. I now have to go buy other software. I won't waste my time learning this.

The software downloaded to 5 different desktop icons and you have to figure out how to piece it all together. There are only a handful of templates--they want you to buy one for an additional $9 off their site to get a decent one.

If you want easy-to-use DON'T BUY THIS--don't get sucked in by their false marketing claims like I did. $140.00 down the drain. They refuse to refund it. They don’t stand by their product.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
