Software Reviews of Apple iLife '08 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: A mixed bag - but overall good
Summary: 4 Stars

iPhoto - Fabulous upgrade - the best and easiest way to manage and work with photos.
iMovie - Truly a disappointment. It could have been so much better, but bugs and terrible export quality from DV ruined the product.
iWeb - Not much of an upgrade, but welcome nonetheless.
iDVD - Worked fast and well when needed. Burns so quickly that it saved my skin on a couple occasions so overall very happy.
GarageBand - Minor upgrades, I don't really use it expect for podcasts so I don't notice much at all.

Overall, there is some good (iPhoto, iDVD) and some bad (iMovie), which overall means its a 4-star rating to upgrade.

Customer Review: BEWARE !! the iDVD Program may not work
Summary: 4 Stars

This iLife 08 application is probably great if you're running Leopard..... which I am not..... I have Tiger 10.4.11 ..... i purchased my new iMac desktop in October 07' and it came with Tiger and iLife 08 programs previously installed at the Apple factory. I recently went to use my iDVD program and it will simply not work at all..... Apple's Tech Reps have tried and tried to help me over the phone but nothing will make it work on my new computer.... I have spent hours and hours on this problem and finally one of the Apple Tech Reps admitted to me that iDVD 08 works best with the Leopard platform which it was basically designed for..... I have now ordered a new iLife 06 program for $79 plus tax, which they assure me will work fine on my 2007 computer..... If this is what it takes to get an iDVD program to work, then i think that I should not have to pay for the iLife application twice..... but I had to..... Apple has not heard the last from me about this issue..... we'll see....

Customer Review: It runs well under OS 10.5.3
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this version because my older version would not run under OS 10.5.3. It does that and runs flawlessly. I mostly wanted iDVD for a project but the other apps are nice to have. I've produced a DVD of pix I took at a family wedding which has been greatly appreciated by both sides of the family. I'm not into video but needed a way to have people look at the pix without a computer. It does that quite easily. I highly recommend it.

Customer Review: I-life
Summary: 4 Stars

Yes I was really pleased with the product and the shipping. The only problem I had was, when I was trying to get in touch with the company to see the details on my shipping and I could get in touch with the company of my other order but not this one but It was not a big deal but if it was I would not be very happy.
