Triggered Win32/Heur detection
bfyjck700501August 5, 2013
Pros
Have been unable to use the program safely!
Cons
AVG 2013.0.2904 trapped Win32/Heur (the software appears to do 'funny' things on the computer, it is not recognised as a specific virus)
Summary
Immediately moved to vault, I don't know about the software itself
It was an ok program
KarmaDoll89July 28, 2011
Pros
It had good effects, easy to use, not long wait to download.
Cons
it has a HUGE watermark logo in the middle of the picture if you export it to be a GIF.
Summary
I personally wouldn't spend my money on this program.
This is such a quick, easy program to use!

Pros
Within the minute of getting the program, I already knew so much about it and could make flawless animated banners within five minutes. It was so easy and quick to use. There was nothing confusing about it at all.
Cons
- Some animations didn't work. - Required registration - Got bored easily.
Summary
It's a simply WONDERFUL program, but there are a few flaws that make it a little worse.

Pros
I tried the demo. Looked pretty good at first.
Cons
I just ordered this thing and it doesn't install on 2 boxes!! I'd be surprised if I get a refund. What a waste of time and money!! DO NOT ORDER THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!!
Summary
I love Flex Gif Animator. I make gifs for myspace all the time.

Pros
Good effect
Cons
Summary
Can't get it to run
njkatzMay 8, 2008
Pros
Nothing so far. It installed, but won't run.
Cons
I can't get it to run at all in Vista Home. I even tried shutting down everything else and it still would not run. Despite what the developer says, I don't think it's actually Vista compatible.
Summary
Buyer Beware!!
wsoxfan1May 8, 2008
Pros
Nothing. Haven't been able to use it!
Cons
I've tried to get my key from this company to unlock the software and never received the key. I've been waiting days and have sent several emails.
Summary
Demo only;

Pros
Cons
This is a demo-ware, not shareware. There are too many limitations to be deemed as shareware. English can be improved in the program. Although the program supports Vista, it isn't stable and keeps crashing. The program itself has a Windows 95 look.
