The Good
* Pretty straightforward and easy to use.
* Has 130+ pre-created templates for you to use.
* Has templates that are for more than just "flyers".
* You can fully customize each template.
* Nice "masks" which you can apply to images.
* Allows you to print your flyers/creations, save as image, email, or upload to FTP.

The Bad
* Can only insert JPG, BMP, and GIF images - no support for PNG.
* Can get a little laggy sometimes when modifying templates.
* Many templates are just "average" looking - no "wow this template is amazing" feeling.
* When browsing computer to insert image, by default the /Easy Flyer Creator/Pictures folder is opened up every time.
* Developer could have added in more support for creating your own flyer from the ground up (i.e. not using a template).
* Program window is not resizeable.
* Pretty bad memory leaker.
* No undo/redo features.

Leaves 2 water marks on bottom right corner. One says 'Printed by Easy Flyer Creator', the other says 'http://www.flyerscreator.com'. I don't like those water marks.

Excellent!
Provides an extensive list of templates, and a preview for each one.
After the template is chosen, the elements (text, images, etc) can be dragged around, edited, and formatted as you wish. It has some cool formatting options, such as outline and shadow.
You can then export it to .jpg, .gif, .bmp. .tif, and PNG formats, as well as printing or emailing it. Another feature is FTP uploading, which although cumbersome, can save some time.
The only grievances I have are:
o The title bar remains blank except for the icon.
o Graphical blurs occur when dragging objects.
o There is no way to import anything (you cannot start a project, save, and resume later)
o Shadows on pictures are on the whole rectangle, not just the content.
Overall, it is a medium ceiling (can only do so much),
Low floor (easy to learn),
narrow walls (limited range of capabilities) software.
9/10 stars.

I'm sorry, but the templates included in this are really ugly, poorly made, and unprofessional.

Not being compatible with PNG's is very apparent when you view certain templates (like the Halloween template)

There isn't anything that this program does which looks the least bit professional - unless I missed something.

If you are in a REALLY BIG HURRY to create a flyer, this may work for you. If you want something that is going to look better than the crappy flyers hanging at the local convenience store or laundromat, move along. This program won't help.

The file size is huge in comparison to the quality. I'm just sayin'.

I really have to wonder about a company that sells a product like this. This is something that a huge number of people could use (including myself). Why not make it at least half way decent?

Seriously, a person could download opensource website templates and make better flyers with THEM, than they could with this program.

I'll have to pass this time GAOTD. Thanks for the offering though.

Numerous issues. Lousy installer, uses a WinZip self-extractor which is improperly configured. It's extracting into your Temp folder (which is a serious Windows design, or lack thereof, flaw), but doesn't overwrite, so if there's a Setup.exe in your temp folder, the old one will execute (rename, move, or delete it). This is a .NET app, and incorrectly places a system file in its own folder. It adds and replaces some fonts (I didn't experience any deletions, as noted by #44, Buzz). This violates the Paint.NET license by installing some old version (renamed) without credit, and charging for it. This requests (requires) administrator rights to run (very bad for this type of application). This runs as a local server, which is generally OK. Requested direct disk access, which I routinely block. Requested a window hook of the file dialog box; I don't know whether those requests are real or due to a conflict on my system, but I block them. Requires Internet access to register. Non-standard UI, doesn't support common operations like resize/maximize, tray button doesn't display or work properly. Primitive editing features, other problems which many have mentioned, such as lack of undo/redo, limited image formats, etc.

#9, oliviab, you should take Ashraf's reviews for what they are, the perspective of a junior computer user. He's not a programmer, he has no technical competence, so what he says about the internal operations of programs is irrelevant and should be ignored. #4, Billy, this can export to PDF files, it doesn't support PNG images.
