  "Simple to use 2D animation software"

  November 27, 2010  |   By rowanwood

  Pros

  Easy to use, even for beginners

  Cons

  Confused information both in he help and at the home site about system requirements and pricing options. System requirements and pricing listed are incorrect.

  Summary

  I can't give any meaningful description of the current version (6.2.1) because the requirements info listed at Download.com is incorrect, and despite claims to the contrary listed at Download.com, it will not run on my Mac.
  
  It lists the requirements as Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6. However, it will not open under Mac OS X 10.4. It bounces out immediately. This is typical of software requiring Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. Why isn't this noted?
  
  Download.com lists the price as US$39.00. This is wrong! The site lists it as US$78.00 for the "Lite" version, and much, MUCH higher... as much as &789 for the FlipBook Pro HD version! Why isn't this mentioned in the information at Download.com? The listed price is also incorrect even if it is assumed that it refers to the upgrade price... which starts at $33.00... NOT $39.00!
  
  There is no information as to whether the various versions are different programs or the same one with a different license. This is a confusing way of doing things!
  
  FlipBook may be an "industry standard"... of sorts... but I am not pleased with the contradictions, omissions and confusion... This sort of thing hints that the support may be less than what might be desired.
  
  I will have to pass on this confused mess!

  If it won't run on your Mac, then how do you know that it's simple and easy to use?
