    I guess I figured the program would work and look like the ones they use on their remodeling shows. It isn't. Very basic and quite difficult to navigate.

    This is a great program for anyone to use. I have a small construction company we deal with residential remodels and reconstruction. This helps with bids and invoices. I can have a month planned out in minutes.

    The box lists all sorts of wonderful, easy to use applications, In reality. none of the features are included and require the Ultimate level of software. Cannot upgrade, impossible to reach customer service. Took 4 days for reply to email service request. No relief.

    Good features and display but best feature is that it has hard copy manual included with package. Features not intuitive so you need to refer to manual often.
