When trying to decipher information on the internet you need to keep an open mind. Remember that most often the information you are receiving is one person's opinion and not necessarily good information. An example below is a link to a review on iBank, Apple's software for managing personal financial accounts and balances. Some of the reviews tell us that the product is great, fantastic and terrific. Other reviews tell us not to waste our money.

So what does one do with this information? Is it buyer beware? After reading several reviews of the iBank software I found that I was no more sure about the product as I was before I read the reviews. Another ideal way to sort out the good information from the bad information would be to find some way to test the product if possible. One of the reviewers on the Apple review site mentions a free trial period of the product, this would be a great way to find out for yourself what the product is like.

Wow, these reviews cannot be helpful at all. There's ratings for this software from being awful to being the best money tool software.
ReplyDeleteI'm always frustrated by them, especially when I read movie or book reviews. One person's favorite movie of all time is the next person's worst movie of all time!
