    1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, 18 Feb 2006
    By A Customer
    This thesaurus may be good. Possibly. But the software is such utter rubbish that it's virtually unusuable. One example (of many): the wretched thing pops up when you double-click a word and you are taken off into its (unreadable) pop-up field. Perhaps someone should have told the programmers that double-clicking words is used for other things on most computer set-ups. Such as selecting words to move or delete them. Which you are now no longer able to do.

    A few years ago I got free with some magazine a thing called the Oxford Compendium. It included a good thesaurus. The thesaurus was easy to use and worked properly. Unfortunately, it doesn't run under XP. So I bought this new one. And it's rubbish.

    Shame on whoever produced it!

    1.0 out of 5 stars great content, rubbish software, 5 Oct 2007
    By Maclachlan (France) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    The ifinger pop-up software is utter rubbish and it doesn't work with Vista, the makers of the software have not released a Vista update and the OUP has no intention of publishing this thesaurus in an adult software program - what a shame!

    Here is an excerpt from a message I received from OUP:

    "I'm sorry to say that we don't know when iFinger are planning to release a Windows Vista-compatible version of their software engine. If you have registered with them for updates (via their web site) then you should be notified.

    I'm also sorry to say that we don't have plans to develop new CD-ROM versions of the Dictionary of Quotations and/or Thesaurus at this stage."

    1.0 out of 5 stars Useless rubbish!, 8 Jan 2008
    By Translator (Den Haag, Netherlands) - See all my reviews
    In several decades of computing this is the most useless piece of software and worst-behaved install it has been my misfortune to encounter. I bought it as an upgrade to the previous version, which was supposed not to work under my new XP system (it can in fact be persuaded to work under XP by copying any missing files manually and using the Compatibility function in the program's Properties).

    When the iFinger install fails to complete it cannot even be halted in the Windows Task Manager!

    The program itself no longer has hyperlinking to other entries or the alphabetical list in the left panel and is barely configurable.

    The only thing the iFinger (what a stupid name!) program fingers is your wallet. I would have given it 0 stars if that had been an option.
