5.0 out of 5 stars simple. straightforward..., 14 May 2013
This review is from: Express Invoice (PC/Mac) (CD-ROM)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
this does exactly what it suggests, it's a quick way of setting up invoicing for a small business or sole trader, it could be more flamboyant or even more complicated but it really doesn't need to be (NCH, if youre reading this then don't change what doesn't need to be changed). I know you'll have read it in other reviews but hold onto that yellow slip as if it were made of gold, without that then all you have is a shiny coffee mat with a hole in the middle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good... but read the back of the box first, 14 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Lovely piece of software, very straightforward to use and allows even the most amateur budding "changing rooms" enthusiast to become a one person "extreme makeover: home edition". but please listen to my fellow reviewers, make sure your computer is man enough for the job... you need a good processor and a really good graphics card to see the benefits of this software.

now... my bathroom needs some work, wheres the tape measure gone....

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, worth a buy, 14 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
This is really a good book if you're an aspiring app developer for the modern smartphone or tablet computing revolution, but as much as I'd love to give this a 5 i have to be honest and give it a 3.

i'm a huge fan of the windows platform (let the apple hating and anti-android people commence their attack), but this book is aimed more at those two platforms than the windows RT/Mobile system, a lot of the principles can be adapted and with a little work will produce good results. If you're looking to make apps or games to sell on your chosen platform then please buy his other book "Level Up", it's one thing to make a game... but it's another to make one that people want to buy.

Overall I will really give this a proper go and make something, but do I feel inspired enough to break out the keyboard and start coding. No, not today... but maybe if i need something to do one day

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Camera, i'd consider this over my SLR, 14 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I'm going to keep this simple because frankly it doesn't need to be complicated... it produces a stunning image at all resolutions and unlike most cameras in this style can also support RAW for really good high definition shots, the touch LCD makes selective focusing very very easy and the fact you can tilt the screen means you can work at all kinds of angles and still get a perfect photo every single time.

it's even got a manual focusing ring for near SLR grade control, if you're looking at a bridge camera, SLR, or a micro 4/3 (like the Nikon One) then please please please give this gem of a camera a look, its well featured and will deliver on the promises that the features say it will do. I can say that for my upcoming holiday the big SLR might be staying at home this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars really handy gadget that i'd loathe to be without now, 14 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
when i first got this i honestly thought i'd struggle to find a regular, and practical use for it... as it turns out, everything is a regular and very practical use for it, i voice record all my new coooking and baking ideas on this before i commit them to paper, but i also keep note of most of the things i think about on a daily basis... my husband has taken it to training courses to record all the things that are said and then written out his notes in his own time after the fact and this is all due to that 360 degree microphone piece.

It really is something quite special, i can place it on worktops out of my way or in my husbands case anything (and i do mean ANYTHING) that is said within that room is recorded down nice and clear to be referred to later.

i can even suggest connecting it to your computer and using some kind of voice-to-text software like Dragon Dictate, the notes will then type themselves... i don't care if you're a manager, a student, a chef, a creative, or just someone who likes a gadget... make an excuse, and get one!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Product, But i was expecting a little more, 14 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
There are two things in this world that i'm really not a huge fan of, those little TENS machines with the sticky pads, and products that really dont do what they say they will... i'm happy to report that this is neither of those things... both myself and my husband have tried TENS with little success so we were both fairly skeptical to try this unit out. i'm pleased to say that our skeptiscism was ill conceived, I use the machine myself to aid with gentle pain relief and it works 9 times out of 10, my husband used it on a recent trip to london to help his legs out after more than 2 hours of solid driving... although he puts it up on full power and i manage about halfway up.

our only criticism is that it left our legs a little numb after use but not for too long, it was just unexpected really

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, very versatile, 10 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
it's simply a pair of sound deadening earbuds with a microphone in to use with a smartphone, i found the controls a little fiddly and intermittent on the HTC phone we used for testing, could use some more sizes of rubbers in the pack for those of use with odd shaped ears... good quality sound but if i was looking to replace my handsfree kit for a phone then i'd probably go for some manufacturer originals or something more expensive, but other than that they're ok

4.0 out of 5 stars Clean Design Clean Floor, 10 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
really nice mop head, decent double handle bucket and the spinning mechanism doesn't feel likely to break any time soon. The clip that collapses the mop to fit into the spinner isn't as clear as it could be, but once you get the hand of pressing the catch using a foot and then lifting quickly... it's not that bad, the fabric mop itself is entirely machine washable so you're not pushing old rubbish around a floor... keeps it clean, keeps it hygenic.

4.0 out of 5 stars works well enough but could use some extra armbands, 10 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
this is a great little tool for the health conscious among us, and the pedigree of the brand is simple as my doctor uses a ProLogic blood pressure unit in his surgery (bigger unit, more buttons... but not dis-similar). My only complaint is that the armband didn't really go around my arm as well as I would like, a selection of bands would be a welcome addition that would really make this particular item really really useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, Simple, Effective, 10 May 2013
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
This is a blissfully simple product to use, works wonderfully with windows 7 and windows 8, works with a multitude of routers (especially my notoriously fussy Sky router) and setup is so easy... that anyone can do it. TP-Link make exceptionally good equipment and this is no exception, it's also cheap and reliable (not two words i'm fond of putting in the same sentence) and before anyone points out that it's only the N150 model so for streaming large amounts of content or for best performance you should buy the N300 version... it only helps if a) you have a router that supports "N" and 300mpbs. and b) you do more that just check your email and maybe look at funny cat photos.
