Decided to try this as I had downloaded and used their previous version (V2) when made available on GAOTD earlier this year/late last year.

This latest version requires the install of Microsoft .NET framework 4, which is downloads and installs for you, but it is a time-consuming download (and I'm on a fast ADSL line), so be prepared for a lot of time-wasting. Ultimately, the whole business from downloading Easy Flyer Creator from GAOTD and getting it installed on my system (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) took some 14+ minutes, and ends with a message from Easy Flyer Software stating: "Please use Windows Update to check for any critical updates to the .NET framework."

Just as well I checked, because there was an essential security patch due from Microsoft for the .NET framework 4 just installed - it was another 5.9MB to download, and took a further 12+ minutes to download and install - and then required a reboot!

All in all, the complete process of downloading, installing and registering Easy Flyer Creator took nearly 34 minutes on a previously up-to-date system and normally fast system, which is not really acceptable, though I appreciate that much of this is not the fault of Peridotec. However, had I known beforehand how much time and bother was going to be involved in installing version 3 of Easy Flyer Creator, I wouldn't have bothered - especially as I can see no real improvements or advantages over version 2, which is still on my system. In fact, I might just uninstall V3 and keep V2, which was a lot less hassle to install (and just as good to use).

What a terrible program!

Over 150 Meg, and clearly American based templates. Before the program loads I am warned that my screen resolution is too high.

Tried several of the templates to start with and in every case the words disappear from the right of the paper. Tried to increase the size of the window but this was not allowed.

OK – the text size can be changed, but if a 150+ Megabyte program has these basic errors I will not proceed with it. Not checked other editing facilities because even the basics are crude. Uninstalling immediately.

Installs easily on Win7 64 and seems to run without problem. Currently using around 105 Mb of memory with a single pizza flyer being edited (Mmmmmm, pizza!).

Although the registration form includes several obligatory details (including company name) you can just fill these with any odd character.


Looking around the Web, the program is generally well reviewed and various improvements and additions have been made since Ashraf judged V2 to be good too.

Much of what's on offer (barcodes, ticket production etc) probably falls outside the category of personal usage but there are lots of handy features and the templates make things a cinch to produce party invites et al. It's certainly worth investigating for yourself.

FYI the official beta test version of this was offered on 2nd May 2011 here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/easy-flyer-creator-3-0-beta/ I presume this is the final release version of 3.0 with the bugs revealed squashed?

DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU WANT ALL YOUR OLDER PROGRAMS TO WORK . I installed this app and upon install it installed dot net 4 automatically , which disabled half my desktop gadgets and stopped other older programs from starting . Dot net 4 is required for this software but to be honest this program sucks . Much better alternatives out there . I uninstalled and removed dot net 4 , All my apps working again . :-((((
