"easy too install and use"

Pros
very simple
Cons
easy too use

"Many problems"
Version: AOL Desktop for Mac 1.7
Pros
Quick Browser (I don't really need). I like the mail structure generally.
Cons
huge cons here. First, if email has an attachment you can't view the body of the email without downloading the attachment. Second, this latest version doesn't have a folder for old and new mail. Someone please pay attention.
Summary
Overall, very balky software, hangs frequently, attachments are a pain in the butt. Too time-consuming to bother with. Can't create hyperlink in email. Can't view email without downloading attachment. On and on.

"Biggest and only problem I have on my Mac."
Version: AOL Desktop for Mac 1.5
Pros
Ease of using multiple email accounts.
Cons
Frequent freezes and crashes.
Slow loading of emails.
Poor customer support.Summary
AOL is too busy trying to maximize advertising and control over your email, they have not improved the Mac version since it came out, I actually thing that it has progressively gotten worse.

"No better than last version"
Version: AOL Desktop for Mac 1.5b3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I still have problems with this software being very sluggish. it works fine for a few emails then hangs up on loading email. Then it will hang up on entering characters.
really disappointing that I have to keep going back to the original AOL in order to just read email.

"Chat rooms"
Version: AOL Desktop for Mac 1.5b3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I downloaded an earlier version of this thinking that I'd get new features in AOL Chat Rooms....... What was I thinking? I can't even get to AOL Chat Rooms with this. Basically this is just another browser and I highly doubt that it will be better than Safari or FireFox. So I will continue to use the lame AOL version 10.3.7 from 2005 so I can chat with friends in AOL Chat-rooms. What a disappointment this is. -

"Works fine for me!"
Version: AOL Desktop for Mac Beta 14
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Have tried the recent uploads, including unlucky #13. But #14 seems to be working fine. Hope this is a new trend as I have never quite given up on AOL. Hope other users find this to be true as well. But AOL Desktop 14 seems to be stable, functional and fast!
