so disappointed

I bought this for my 4th grader. It is pretty easy to use. Ill give it that. But, its really not all that different than just using any word processing program that you probably already have on your computer. With those programs, you can at least use different fonts, have a myriad of images to choose from - including your own. In order to use your own pictures, you have to pay. In fact, you end up spending a lot of money on this "free" program to make it in anyway a fun and creative outlet for young students. Theyre all very tech savvy and would like to change the cover colors or add different features. The initial program comes with a very simple set of cheap looking images - very cartoon like and not very descriptive. This could actually be a fun program but while your in the process of making it fun, be prepared to pay, pay, pay. I hate these "bait and switch" type of deals. HATE THEM!!!!!! Id rather be asked to pay up front and get all the goodies, than be lured into a program thats free and then be backed into a corner and have to pay then. Ick!
