Customer Reviews of Writing Tutor (Revised)
Cute, but not very useful. This program has several cute features (though nowhere near the 50 they claim) but each works out rather like a "demo mode" of shareware. There are a few limited examples in each module, not a full list of features. It takes a lot of work to try to make the program at all useful, and to be blunt, it takes most of the creativity out of writing, rather than sparking your creativity. Most of the exercises reminded me either of a second grade "storyboard" activity or a sixth grade story prompt. None of the exercises are helpful in developing a real idea that you already have into an actual story or article.
I will say this, though: it would be fun to use for a week or two in an elementary school classroom.
You get what you pay for!
Not even worth the [money]! The typing section of the program may be better. The writing tutor - the level of analysis is very low. It doesn't catch a number of common errors.
Buyer Beware -- You Better Believe It!!!
This programme is really awful. It states that it is suitable for "any" type of writers, but it is really only suitable for elementary school aged children, and even that group would not find this programme very enticing -- I know, because I teach elementary school. I am angry because of their advertising rhetoric, and like the previous reviewer stated, although it worked, it is way behind the times in technologically. Like my kids would say, "This programme [is bad]!"
