 Rating:  - Inflated MSRPI am giving this one star based on the sell price stated by these resellers. The product itself is decent - especially when you can buy it for what it was originally sold for - $39.99. Now that the product is no longer offered by the publisher & was closed out, resellers like the ones listed on this page take advantage of that fact by inflating the legitmate MSRP & are essentially ripping you off by making you beleive that the product sells for more than it actually does. You can also guess that ... Read More Rating:  - Very easy to useThis software is very easy to use and quite intuitive. It works well for beginners and more seasoned star gazers. Kids seem to be able to negotiate it with a bit of help and I recommend it especially with the low price and the quality of the application. Buy it. Rating: - See the Stars even when it's cloudyI have Red Shift 2 but it had its limitations. Red Shift 5 is out of this world by comparison. Not only is it like the older version but it has vastly improve upon it. I have traveled back in time to see what the sky looked like as the British Regulars marched out of Boston to their fateful encounter on Lexington Green, and in so doing knew why that night was chosen, because the Moon was just past full and the Moon would light their march. Likewise, I checked out the skies at other dates ... Read More Rating: - I thought it was good anywayI actually have had great succes with this product. I recieved Redshift 3 as a Christmas gift when I was in middle school, and now I'm a Teaching Assistant for an Astronomy class at the school I attend. The class comes with some planetarim software, but it's no where near as capable or user friendly as Redshift. Starry Night is another popular one, and I would certainly recomend it too, but it's more expensive than Redshift, so this is a good economic choice. As for the technical support, I actually ... Read More Rating: - Frustrating AND DisappointingI too, have installed lots of software but I'm not impressed with this one---firstly, I tried it on Win98se---message: "Redshift 5 has encountered an error & must close". To which it closes & refuses to run at all. Tried it on WinXPsp1. "Redshift 5 has encountered an error & must close". Got a brand new P4 with a 250GB drive & a fresh copy of WinXPsp2. "Redshift 5 has encountered an error & must close". I can run it with the cd & even though I do have my key/activation code, I can download *limited* ... Read More |
