Had potential, but in practice is disappointing Poorly coded, poorly optimized, buggy, and a blatant microsoft product ripoff with 10x the bugs. Saving your file takes over a minute, sometimes much longer. This is on a high end video editing PC. I've genuinely never seen software with save times like this. In this day and age to have software that works this poorly is entirely unacceptable. Especially for the price they're trying to justify here. I would recommend to look elsewhere. Don't waste your money. They desperately need a larger team to sort out the bugs and sluggishness of the software.

Literally the WORST program I have ever… Literally the WORST program I have ever used. It seems like such a wonderful program then, WHAM, "This project is invalid or corrupt and cannot be opened. It may have been created in an earlier version of Storyline." error message appears and EVERYTHING you have done is lost. I've lost so many projects, weeks of work, only to start over. So, make backups, you say, Yup, made 4 of them and they are now all corrupted. There are no backup files, though it is set to save automatically, which is useless as the file is corrupted. Literally, saved the project. Closed it out. Opened it back up to make a correction and the error message popped up. And guess what, there is NOTHING I can do about it. Search the community, it's like oh, sorry, sucks to be you, sort of attitude. This is NOT a product for professional usage, especially when you have deadlines and all your work gets corrupted. Note: I had no other programs working. I've been saving versions 1, 2, 3, so I have additional copies. Today, after making additional copies, from a version that worked mere seconds before, all of the files came up with the corrupted message. I have contacted Articulate and opened a case. EVEN if they can get my projects back, I'm stuck sitting here writing a review of how horrible the product is, instead of working on my projects.

Great products and people I've been doing learning development for several years. I've used many different tools from authorware to captivate to flash. Articulate has some of the best products I've ever used. They are easy to learn, but can do soo much more than you realize at the beginning. There always seems to be more tip learn. I love it. There support is great. My pc at work had died. They were ablebto get me going on my new machine in less than one day. I barely had to stop working. Great products. Great people.

Well-rounded software package Articulate has really stepped up their game with the new 360 launch. The Articulate Review service is brilliant and has greatly reduced the amount of annoying tasks we have to go through to review Storyline files internally. Rise is an excellent way to quickly and easily build e-learning projects, while Storyline remains a strong, much more complex partner. The content library is full of great stuff that can easily be used in projects.

Frustrating and annoying - I don't enjoy using this This software is frustrating to navigate and annoying to animate with. It's very annoying that it does not work on mac either. It's extremely flimsy and things like the timeline are just so awkward to scroll, zoom in and out of, find what I need, delete things etc. It is very similar to windows power point, which is too clunky and slow to have more advanced animation and design like this, and I think it should be more similar to actual video edit/animate/design software like premier pro than powerpoint. Needs an overhaul. Having it blacklit instead of bright white would be a good idea too. Overall very annoying to use.
