Its great to incorporate into your lessons in the classroom. Kidpix is fun to do for kids and adults alike. Kidpix allows kids to learn and have fun at the same time.
So far this one has held up to his expectations. His 10 year old brother enjoys it just as much. After using the Kid Pix programs for years at school, my 7 year old son asked for it for Christmas. He loves not only creating detailed pictures, but then blowing them up, as well.
It is a fantastic program that has provided hours of fun. I bought this for less than $5 and it has been more fun than the expensive gifts we bought at other times. The install was easy & straightforward - no issues at all on either of the computers I put it on.
There will be up to 35 kids at a time, from kindergarten-3rd using this so you can imagine how frustrating it is to have the kids work creating something- only to have it freeze on the eraser causing me to force quit the application and lose their work. I definitely would not recommend this edition. However, still on the macs to this day-- they still freeze. There was a patch that fixed the missing button functionality for both sides. Since we have gotten KPD4, we have had nothing but problems. I work as a tech in a school district with a Windows/Mac environment. It has constantly frozen or buttons have not worked on both operating systems from day one. I have called tech support, they just keep referring me to their support site, which I had already read through with no improvement.
I would never buy a product from Encore Software again.I have since bought the MacKiev version. Their website is horrible as is their phone support. It is even Snow Leopard compatible. I purchased this product without reading these reviews. I called the manufacturer and they insist that is doesn't work properly on an Intel Mac or any version of Mac OS above 10.5.5. I highly recommend it to anyone with a Mac.
