Poor support and no refund, disappointed

Pros

I can't really say much, I wasn't able to use it since I'm on a MacBook.

Cons

It didn't work with my Mac and they said they'd refund me if I sent over proof of purchase for another product. I did but then there was zero follow-up. No communication after that.

Overall good solution

Pros

What I really liked was how easy the program was to use especially for doing payroll and handling W2s. It just made the whole process smooth.

Cons

One thing that bothered me a bit was the lack of training material. It made getting started and using the program a little harder than it should've been.
