Not exactly as advertised

I agree with Formerly Famous’s review. I feel that the advertising and promotions do not really distinguish the differences among the various levels of CrazyTalk 8. I have spent hours watching their video tutorials and then trying to figure out how to mimic them in my standard edition, only to eventually find out that I am missing a feature. I also needed to buy a new computer to run CrazyTalk 8, and even then, I find it still sometimes freezes or crashes. Furthermore, support is not good. I gather they are supporting the program from a foreign country because their English is fair and they do not seem to fully address issues. Rather after waiting a day or two, they forward your problem to someone else or refer you to the users manual or tutorials. I waited days for them to get back to me about a freezing problem. They really should have realtime chat or phone support. I do enjoy the tutorials but feel that they should clearly designate which edition of CrazyTalk they are using in the tutorial. Too much instruction also seems centered around creating and animating 3D images rather than 2D images, which is what I am interested in at this point. With all that said, I think CrazyTalk 8 is a very interesting and remarkable program. For the price of the standard edition, you certainly get your money’s worth in functionality, just don’t get too excited and be prepared to accept your limitations.
