User Feedback

• This is the app I have been looking for for years to teach students how to manipulate text and to produce such stylistic txt art. I have been explring the trial version and can easily see how I would incorporate it into our ICT programmes. Many Thanks!
Graham Elsmore

• This program fills an empty spot for Mac users like me. (TypeStyler dropped the ball.) Just a side note on how addictive I find Art Text: Even though circumstances caused me to work all night on that 2-07 newsletter issue, I still kept bouncing into Art Text for yet another quick creation, then having to force myself back out to the newsletter work with a promise that I could play more after that was done! Thank you, BeLight is a company who obviously ‘get’ the Mac experience.

• Always enjoying your nifty softwares, making life easier in creating stuff, which otherwise would have taken a professional to dream and pen out the final product.

• Hello from Philadelphia. I just downloaded your demo of your new art text, and IT IS TERRIFIC. So many of our small business customers are “graphically challenged”, and this is as useful and intuitive as your other applications to date.

• All is well, and software functions perfectly. Really nice program. thanks again.
Ignatius Sahula, Graphic designer

• I love all of your software. Your interface is easy to understand and extremely user friendly. I am constantly checking your site for new software!
Dori Weinstein

• WOW... I am starting to like your program more and more! I haven't had time to play with it, BUT... if it works as you describe, you should promote your program to graphics people as an OSX alternative to TYPESTYLER, which only works in the old OS 9 environment. I have been seeking such a program for at least two years since Strider Software cannot seem to re-write the popular type styling program for OSX. There are hundreds of designers who would want this program so they can retire their older Macintosh systems. YOURS may be what they need if they knew it was available. I really think you are onto something and the world is waiting.
Thanks again!!!!

• Several readers voiced positive responses for your software and it looks like it would work well as a replacement for the software we've been stuck waiting to arrive for over three years.
