Cons

Not very user friendly, no good documentation
Terms undefinable for individual countries and dialects.
Too British to be used internationally -- I don't user the term MUM to describe MOM
Summary
I have used thousands of computer programs through the 56 years of my life.
I have taught PC usage, programming, software use, networking, and even industrial use of PC.
This company advertises, that you can have a life chart in 5 minutes, must have simply been lying or referring to a previous user with 10 years experience with only this program.
The help is totally useless and the is totally full of bugs on the version I used in a Windows Vista environment.
When you first start the program on a new chart, nothing you are adding to the chart comes up on the screen. I finally found after hours in the users manual and still not finding ANY help, That I had to exit the program and reload the chart before it become viable. I am not sure if it is this way in all environments, but it is certainly that way in Vista.
Furthermore, there is no way to modify their awful types "National / Primary / Junior". When I went to school, it was called "Elementary and Junior", but their wording is permanent. Meaning there is no way for the user to deviate from or change to their own liking. Furthermore, I would prefer the "Elementary/Junior/High" all be on the same line with Collages being on the next line.
Finally after about three hours of lost time, I deleted it from my PC to prevent me becoming further frustrated.
Events of your life at a glance.
