Apparently amazon and adobe suck

Just paid for this with a deadline of 48 hours to watch movie but adobe flash media player does not work. We all know how easy it is to get a hold of amazon to fix things so I am incline to never buy another movie from here again. So be careful when you pay before knowing you need software that never works or you have to download crap to get the software.

Amazon now sucks, controlling what you can or cannot use on apps or search engines. I hate Bing, I want to do my searches with chrome. So you have to hack the root directory and become a mini programmer to go around Amazon to install Chrome, Google Play. Amazon app store is limited and they force you to use it. Amazon forces you to use their Silk Browser, which is Bing. Facebook not entirely supported, you will not be able to upgrade to the latest Facebook, so forget that. Not too happy, had a first generation Kindle and loved it. I will not use companies that force your choices. Returning this Fire Nd, keep it Amazon, I can just go buy a tablet and load what I want.

This software is a joke, you can only upload and cannot sync on your mac like dropbox and google drive. Now is already 2015! Amazon cloud drive looks like a 1990's software. I though amazon's developers are good cus I apply a lot of time and do a lot of interview but they didn't pick me, so I go to apple and apple take me. So I think amazon must be harder and better than apple, and when I see this desktop software, I just so glade that I didn't work at amazon, the project manager must be very old style and cannot receive any new suggestion.

Adobe's instruction book are: very basic, and . . . boring.  Get Deke's books--you'll be glad you did.

Sucks,Sucks, Sucks! Attempted to download from Amazon and product would not open.  I have done everything I can do to get it to work as I have all my financials on a crashed 2014 version.  At least, I guess that is what happened.  Used it on 10/26/2015 at 9:00 am and by 3:00 pm that day would not open.  So, logically "upgraded to 2015"....and this was worse.  Caused all kinds of problems, does not work and you can not get one ounce of help from Intuit!  Terrible customer service, but they they don't seem to care.  I am attempting to see if I can do something to get my $$back from Amazon.

Amazon makes you download something that takes a bit of time and then when I try to sign in it tells me the client is out of date and I must install the latest client from the games web site but the web sites download link is broken. I bought this game 2 days ago and still cant play. This was my first experience with the Amazon electronic game store and theis is more of a bad review on Amazon than the game it self because I cant play it. For now I am going to see what Steam has on sale today and I recommend who ever is reading this to do the same.

Be warned that if you purchase a new Kindle Fire you will NOT be able to go on any website that requires Adobe Flash. Any website that has interactive games for kids definitely uses Adobe Flash (lego.com, abcmouse.com, nickjr.com, etc, etc, etc.) Amazon advertises how great the web access is but the reality is the web access is very limited without Adobe Flash. Wish I knew this before purchasing the Kindle Fire. I wasted hours going between Adobe and Amazon before finding out I was SOL re: Adobe Flash. I will be returning it ASAP.

The tablet won't run adobe flash player!! Which is one of the reasons I bought this with Amazon Fire TV.  The worst part is 2 months later a newer larger version is out for less money!!!!  Almost feel taken advantage of by Amazon and I enjoy being a prime member, but this is horrible.

Well, they're getting closer, but they giveth and they crasheth. The good news is that you can edit the metadata straight on the desktop client, which wasn't possible before. And more of my perfectly legitimate mp3 files are uploading, instead of having so many rejected that Amazon Music used to claim were "corrupted" (even though they were perfectly fine for iTunes and every other player on my Mac).

The new adventure in this release is the crashing, which happens frequently, usually when I'm uploading files. At least it's quick about it. But it's extremely disruptive. And startup time is still excruciatingly long. But it's Amazon Music. Take what the devs give you, right?

About the worst you can get as a pdf editor!
Help is NO help!
Corel is also NO help!
If they dropped the price to 1 cent I wouldn't buy it!

Adobe wants to give you a "better experience" which means sending information to them.  They do not give you the option to say "no thank you" during the installation.  The is simply mean.  I have signed in and the way to remove this is not shown anywhere in their FAQs.
Like so many software companies, they do not care about their customers experience with their products..;..; they just want more money with less expense to them...  more short term profits and they don't care that they will not keep you as a customer.  This is short sighted.
Now I will have to call them during my work hours to find out if I have options.  I will have to look for other software and have wasted my money with this purchase..;. it is all down hill from here on for Adobe.  Customers hate their new "Cloud" software and I for one will avoid this company in the future.  They ruined a formerly good product and formerly good company... for short term profits.

User Interface is Unusable - but that applies to pretty much every single Amazon app I have been forced by Amazon to use to accomplish something that I do alternatively in 1,2 or 3 clicks with existing software platforms.  I assume there is a good reason, but it is a level of frustration that I thought computing left behind..not to mention, that accomplishing your requirement of downloading music or videos to your device is harder than figuring out who the bad guy is in a LeCarre novel

UPDATE: The new eLive tab is just plain pain in the butt! It often interferes when I try to open a digital pic to edit!!!

I "upgraded" to v. 13 from v. 9 and it wasn't worth it. I don't like or use the "Organizer" and all of my editing is for on screen viewing so I don't need any the printing features. I can see is no speed difference between the 32- and 64-bit versions.

But my major gripe still remains Adobe's insistence on printing as a final goal. The cropping presets are for 8"x10", 5"x7", etc., and not 1920 px x 1080 px. 1280 px x 1024 px, etc. which are my final goals. The work arounds are kludgy at best.

Like other reviewers, I have been using Adobe products for a long time.  I am not a graphics professional so I have learned certain ways of getting done what I need to do, and the whole Creative Cloud idea of continual upgrades is NOT an advantage for someone like me, who doesn't have time to learn something new every time I need to build a graphic.  Thanks to other reviewers for confirming my suspicions about the Creative Cloud, I have bought a CS6 license to upgrade my CS5.5, and I'm going to stay with this as long as I can.  If I ever am forced to abandon CS6 products, I will look for other solutions (not Adobe) for my needs.

Adobe, are you paying attention?  I've told you essentially this same thing in every survey you've sent me, and I see here that many others agree with me.  Do you care?

A couple of years ago I started with Studio Version 7.  I loved the capabilities and ease of editing, particularly the automatic generation of a soundtrack to match the length of a clip, but despite having hardware that far exceeds their requirements, I was frustrated with frequent problems, particularly hangs.  I read their user forums and applied workarounds, downloaded beta versions for their fixes, and was eventually able to get out a video, but it was a maddening process.  I then made the mistake of paying for an upgrade to Studio 8.  The same issues, to the point that it takes several minutes to respond to almost any mouseclick.  Searching the consumer forum for Studio 9 at [...] for "hang" or "freeze", it looks like it's more of the same.

I recently bought Adobe's Premiere Elements in a package with Photoshop Elements.  It wasn't completely smooth sailing: To actually burn the DVD I had to use a forum-supplied workaround of first rendering the video and exporting it, then importing it into a new project and burning it.  But I found comparable capabilities to Pinnacle that were actually usable.

I recommend avoiding Pinnacle, or at least reading their user forums to prepare yourself for the trials you'll be going through.  Better to buy Adobe, or from someone else.
