Good product -- company seems rubber side up:

I have been using this product now for several years and have been very happy with it. I was really happy to see it will work with MAC Leopard OS.
The program does just about everything I need it to do.
The sad news is that it seems from all the data on the internet the company have gone rubber side up. When a new version came out a couple of years ago the company owner sent me a special pre-release DVD of the updated program. Support then was very good.

Software is great, Support non-existent:

Software is OK...But??:

I downloaded this product from The Body Journal web site several weeks ago (before I saw it on Amazon) and was waiting for the key to unlock the demo status of the program.

Awful:

I tried this software out and was completely unsatisfied. Afer working with it for more than an hour, I gave up. Even though I am fairly savvy with computers and software, I was not able to enter any data or do any of the other things it said it could do. I tried again a few days later with the same results. I have erased it from my hard drive and if I had the time I would complain to the manufacturer or Amazon.
