Customer Review: A little frustrating
I was quite excited to use this but soon found I was getting frustrated. It’s easy to use but the plant lists are very strange. For hedgeing they don’t even have Privet but they do have cactus and lots of different types of simple plants like petunia. Surely a red one is a red one when dealing with this basic stage. I had to improvise with several objects like there is no compost bin so I used a well instead. Perhaps a little more thought would have gone down better, if anything it has made me think about buying a bigger version but an addon package would do just as well.
Customer Review: Very disappointed with the product
I found this a most frustrating program to use it is not well thought out. The program does not give any insight as to how it is to be utilized. I have had this product for over 1 year and though I keep returning back to it for another go I never get any further than drawing a basic outline. There should be a booklet with it to give examples of how to progress from basic steps. I would not recommend this program to anyone as it is to say the least user aggressive
