    "Something Fishy About These Reviews..."

    February 28, 2012  |   By bsc249

    Pros

    Was once an excellent program.

    Cons

    False advertising in the reviews...

    Summary

    I have a real problem with companies that pump up their product reviews with false positives, which strongly looks to be the situation with this once excellent program. If you read through the reviews (all but the most recent) positive reviews get 2-4 'thumbs up' while (all but the most recent) negative reviews get 2-4 'thumbs down.' Regardless Of Content!

    Read these reviews at your own risk...

    I agree with you 1000000000%. Sadly, this crap is all over the place. If I read reviews I start with the neg ones first.
