Appalling Appalling. Slow, clunky, buggy, confusing, expensive. Please world, stop using this terrible software so i cant stop being asked to build courses with it.

I really like this bit of software I really like this bit of software. Both Storyline and Rise give course developers some great tools to create eye catching and engaging courses whatever the content. Only not giving 5 Stars because they continue to not create software that works on a Mac, which is just crazy!

Storyline 2 is a brilliant authoring tool A brilliant eLearning authoring tool that's easy to pick up and use - even if you have limited techy skills. Publishes automatically to SCORM, and is cross-platform ready with loads of built in features meaning you don't need to understand coding, HTML, flash etc to be able to produce great, engaging learning. THe support is amazing with elearningheroes.com and fast response to any queries. It's also well-priced against its competitors

Frustrating and annoying - I don't enjoy using this This software is frustrating to navigate and annoying to animate with. It's very annoying that it does not work on mac either. It's extremely flimsy and things like the timeline are just so awkward to scroll, zoom in and out of, find what I need, delete things etc. It is very similar to windows power point, which is too clunky and slow to have more advanced animation and design like this, and I think it should be more similar to actual video edit/animate/design software like premier pro than powerpoint. Needs an overhaul. Having it blacklit instead of bright white would be a good idea too. Overall very annoying to use.

Hyped, but Buggy and Expensive I have been using Articulate almost every day for the past year, so I'm a moderately advanced user. It has some great features, but lately very frustrating. There are too many bugs. Crashes without warning. Crashes on publishing to xAPI, SCORM, Review 360. Takes up to 30 minutes to compile and publish a large project. Am using 2 laptops with it. Crashes randomly on both. (One has 16 GB RAM, the other 32 GB RAM) The auto-save feature doesn't work properly! You need to save manually every 30 minutes. Sometimes it changes your variable settings. I have lost hours of work. After I finish my project, not likely I will continue using it but am tied to it until completion. Overpriced. Not recommended. 3 stars at best. I think 14 bug fixes this year so far !!
