Frustrating 2005-04-27
By SoftwareJock (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
It is frustrating making cards with this product. Among its deficiencies: -- Many cards have text on the front that cannot be edited. Apparently, the text is in graphic form. For example, you cannot change "To a great girl..." to "To a great boy...". -- The program puts your mouse in super slow speed, a behavior that persists when you attempt to use other programs on the desktop. -- When you select 'Hallmark Card Studio Online' the program hijacks an open Internet browser rather than starting a new browser session to display the online help.
Could be much better 2005-02-15
By C. Peacock (Perkasie, PA)
This product is ok in that it saves you money on buying cards, but I have NEVER been able to make a calendar. Every time I try to go to March, it locks up and shuts down. I was really looking forward to making calendars with pictures of my kids, but no luck. I have written numerous emails to Sierra for help and they only responded to the first email in which they instructed me to uninstall/reinstall which I have done numerous times to no avail. I am very disappointed with Sierra's customer service. I also can't believe I am the only one having this error when trying to go into March to create a calendar or even just looking at March in the Event Planner. Hopefully I will find someone else who knows what to do.
Easier to use than Greetings 2000 2004-07-20
In response to Christine Iacomini, the one great thing that this version has over Greetings 2000 is exactly what she didn't like about it: it's very simple. We have the original version of Card Studio (version 1.0a, which we got almost 8 years ago) and the one thing my wife (not very computer saavy) loved about the program is that it was really easy to use. In fact, when she tried to use Greetings 2000, she insisted I install the older version (which is still installed and works great). Anyway, Card Studio 2004 does have enhancements over previous versions, but it also brings back a much simpler interface compared to 2000. This may irk some people that want a lot of fine-tuned control over their creations, but it makes it easier for those people that want a program that you don't need to hunt through the controls to use!
it's terrible 2004-07-18
(eastern canada)
I'm really dissappointed with this product. Unlike other Hallmark programs, it does not have all it says on the program and it locks up my system, (which is a brandnew p4) When I can get it to work it only prints part of the card and does not center it correctly so the finished product looks terrible. I think Hallmark needs to fix the problems and offer a working upgrade.
Great Creative Tool, Some Performance Issues. 2004-07-12
By Relentless (Gainesville, FL)
Hi, I first was a bit hesitant to buy a branded piece of software (i.e. Hallmark), because I've had terrible experiences in the past with such a products. However, this time it turned out to be pretty good. The interface it's quite intuitive, the layout (i think) it's no-nonsense, and the creative options are just great. It's easy to get "lost" at first because of the plethora of possibilities, but once one has done it couple of times it becomes VERY easy to use and navigate. My wife created a fully personalized card (i.e. from scratch) and printed it in less than half an hour. Granted, you will not be getting all the bells and whistles that other packages out there have, but at this price it's quite a bargain. My only qualm is that the program is indeed a bit "heavy" on system resources and if you're doing an extravagant piece of card, it will be slow to work with and print. Over all, it's a buy.
