I canceled my trial but maybe I didn't… I canceled my trial but maybe I didn't complete it on my end. Either way the subscription was charged to my card and I contacted support which usually is a nightmare when you have billing problems and it was honestly quick and painless. Great service and they got my refund and account canceled quickly. Thank you to Alice from support

I don't like to pay in US Dollars! Takes a bit of a time to get used to the software. I was not aware that the prices are in US Dollars otherwise I would have opted for a Canadian companyOver all a very good software with many built in options to choose on.

Extremely helped my job at work and home! Great one! I usually help my children to their school works (lent them to use it). And it helps to do paperless and no need to waste ink. We straightly read from the saved file. Excellent.

Best part of the service is responsiveness to online support, but there are a few minor glitches that should be addressed. I'll elaborate later when time allows for it.
