• Stay away. NO free trial and maybe lose your work!

  waynec444October 8, 2015

  Pros

  None to speak of.

  Cons

  Stay away like the plague. You cannot do anything with the program unless you pay for the regular version,. I downloaded the "Lite" version, spent hours creating a form, then paid for the regular version,. I called support and they told me that my form would be saved when deleting the lite version. WRONG!! It was NOT saved. They also told me once I downloaded and installed the regular version I would NO LONGER be asked to pay $14.95 additional for a useless domain name in order to use their software. WRONGO again! Unfortunately this company does not deserve my money and I will be getting a refund and going elsewhere. Also, company does not answer their phones in the afternoon PT. They go home at 5 pm somewhere in an eastern time zone. If you want to go through hoops to use this software, possibly losing a form you spent a lot of time creating, and endure useless support go right ahead and get it. You won't be disappointed. All in all, the software and support has a lot to be desired;

• Damages your Business

  WebmasterClubFebruary 24, 2013

  Pros

  Nothing to praise

  Cons

  Damages your sale. Throws your customers away because you simply don't know who filled up the form. You will be proven to be rude business because the webvisitor will think you deleibrately don't respond while the fact is that you didn't even know who filled in the form. And the worst part is that after 7 help-calls i have never been helped. The greedy and dishonest developer asks $15 per support call.

  Summary

  I bought all versions of this software but no help at all. I hardly get 1 form out of 10 filled in online. So several clients go away without my notice. This I came to know several times when my known clients filled in the form and that didn't reach to me. Throws your customers away because you simply don't know who filled up the form. You will be proven to be rude business because the webvisitor will think you deleibrately don't respond while the fact is that you didn't even know who filled in the form. And the worst part is that after 7 help-calls i have never been helped. The greedy and dishonest developer asks $15 per support call. Even I have bought many softwares from this guy but none of them is trustworthy. Like webcalender shows wrong data. It switches everytime between date format (9.2.2013/ 2.9.2013and your February event will show in September and September event will show in February. You will be proved to be a fool buy these extremely dangerous softwares. Again no response at all on help request.

• Worthless, Doesn't work

  DPEURODecember 30, 2011

  Pros

  Looks good Easy

  Cons

  5 out of 10 times doesn't work. And you will never know who filled up the form.

  Summary

  I have bought more than 10 softwares of this company. It lloked attractive but now nothing works. For this form builder I can't do much as it is flash. Doesn't come on apple phones and ipad. But above all it is crazy software. 50% of the forms that are filled up only do not arrive and so i loose my sales. I tried to get help. The person asked $15 everytime help. He offered first time free help but when I asked the questions, never responded. This it is ripping off compnay. Very disappointed.

• worked right "out of the box"

  servent1June 21, 2011

  Pros

  Simple and has all the little gadgets I needed: drop down menus, captcha, send email to me, to a file or to a sql database. Unlimited forms to unlimited websites unless I miss it somewhere.

  Cons

  Kind of pricey for what seems to be a basic program but better than paying a subscription service a monthly fee. And I haven't seen one out there for less. The captcha is really basic and I'm kind of wondering if the spam bots can actually read it.

  Summary

  I spent days looking for a captcha program for my MS 2003 frontpage website and couldn't find a good match, so I tried coffee cup's trial version and wow worked the first time. The only thing that didn't work right away was having the email show up in my hotmail account. I figured out that you must feel out the subject line and so hotmail's filters don't kill it before it even arrives at my 'doorstep.' Try the trial version and you'll know if it's right for you or not.

• This is useless as it will not print out

  oscarlizardJuly 19, 2010

  Pros

  Easy to set up

  Cons

  Print function does not work properly.

  Summary

  Is rendered useless if you want to print the form as it prints out tiny with weird numbers which limit the size of print. This is the same on all systems I tried it on. The support abandoned my pleas for help and refused refund...in fact they were really unhelpful AVOID if you need form print outs..most people do.

• Builds effective forms to embed in a web page

  bbpetersNovember 14, 2009

  Pros

  Forms are relatively easy to build, have good features, do what you want them to do.

  Cons

  Process of embedding in a web page and uploading to server is multistep. If you only do a form once in a while, or update it once in a while, it can get complicated and I may omit a file or step.

  Summary

  Better for people who do lots of forms, a bit complicated if you only do one or two.

• New version 8 does it all and with great templates

  wpatters1229April 1, 2009

  Pros

  Allows the ability to set up multiple choices for sendto and it is easy to use database features. The captcha feature is a big plus and keeps those terrible spammers away. Nice templates and the ability to tweak the designs.

  Cons

  So far as a web developer I have not seen anything that is restrictive as long as you have a server that accepts PHP and MySql. Does not produce anything for Cold Fusion but they have there own wizards.

  Summary

  I just love this software. I was tired of trying to find a total package that provided all the features I was looking for including captcha and good design. I also had some needs that would allow users to choose who they wanted to the send the form to and that was also available after contacting your great support and getting a quick answer on how to make it happen. I build web sites and love how much time I can save by not having to build all of the code by hand. The templates are nice and can give you a base to start tweaking to make the look exactly like your site. I did a form for a Police Association as was able to place their badge right on the form...very cool. Thanks

• Can't save your work with Free Trial

  dean5643November 16, 2008

  Pros

  Great for building forms for your website

  Cons

  Can't save your work. If you can't save work with Free Trial, Can you save your work with the registered version?

  Summary

  If I knew the purchased product worked properly I would buy it, as is I can't save anything and it is supposed to save your projects in XML format.. Not happening!!
