Ease of Use:  

As adults, we found this reading program straightforward and easy to use. Each exercise comes with its own set of easy to understand instructions. You can restart most drills and exercises if become confused, or want to reread the instructions.

However, the instructions may be a bit confusing to first or second graders. They may need some guidance initially, but, once they understand the basic concepts, they should be able to get through the program rather easily.

Ease of Installation/Setup:  

We downloaded the review version of AceReader Pro through a download link. With a broadband connection running Mozilla Firefox and Windows XP, the program downloaded extremely quickly.

Setting up the reading program to begin exercises is also simple. You just look through their quick overview, and take a comprehension test to determine your starting point and end goal. The quick overview is new to this version, and is quite helpful for those that are new to using this type of software.

Help/Support:  

StepWare offers excellent support by email, toll-free telephone, fax, and snail mail. The fact they said in their FAQs section that they have never turned down a support request, regardless of purchase date, impressed us. On their website, it says they offer 90 days of free support.

They also have quick start guides included in the embedded help pages, user manuals and tutorials readily available along with reading tips, advice on how to use the program and technical information. We found the help pages easy to understand and useful.
