1 out of 5 stars Product Features and Description are Not accurate!!   January 30, 2007
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The Product Features and the Product Description from the Manufacturer are either for a different product or a deliberately fabricated lie. The Screensaver is absolutely nothing like what is described in features.

The Starry Night Screensaver Product Description goes beyond puffery into the realm of dishonesty. It also fails to mention that what you might expect to see on the screen is contained in a rotating cube or rotating picture frame that only takes up half of the screen. You should carefully consider whether you want to spend your money on this one!! Wish I hadn't.



5 out of 5 stars A relaxing screensaver   December 5, 2005
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this as something nice to run as a security feature on my computer. It is absolutely beautiful. I particularly like the "book" view where movies play in a book with turning pages! I chose to randomly play all the movies so I get a good mix of different space views. There is even an option for me to import my own quicktimes. And, it has this great peaceful music that plays with the videos that make it nice to look at. A great product! I recommend it.


1 out of 5 stars What a BIG Disappointment   November 15, 2005

I've been searching for quality space related screensaver for awhile and was excited when Starry Night became available. The product packaging and marketing literature made me believe that I would be able to customize this screensaver for a variety of choices, leading me to think that I could choose anything from a rotating planet, nebula, or comet, to grace my screen. Instead what you get is a selection of galactic journies that take place on these rotating picture frames (three or one, your choice) or this cube that floats around your screen flashing different pictures of planets, stars, and other galactic images. The options that I thought I would be getting with this screensaver are available, but only by purchasing this company's other software products, which are quite pricey and starting around $50. With these other products, you can import so-called "movies" into the base screensaver program and then choose options like rotating planet etc. that completely fill your screen. I called the company a few times to see if perhaps I was using the program incorrectly (I'm actually pretty computer literate) and left two messages, both of which were not returned. I would not stop short in saying that the company has used some deceptive marketing tactics to sell this product, and treads a thin line of falsely advertising the true capabilties of this product.
