DATASTORE MAGAZINE REVIEWS: ————————– AMIGA FORMAT, the largest circulation Amiga magazine in the world, did a head-to-head comparison review of Datastore vs Final Data in their March 95 issue. The results: FINAL DATA: 70%: "Sorry, Softwood, but this just about covers the basics and no more. Good at what it does, but there are shareware programs which do more." DATASTORE: 88%: "Everything you need for home data storage and retreival, with especially good design and layout options. At this price, you get a lot of database for your hard-pressed pennies." ————————– AMIGA COMPUTING, another British magazine, reviewed Datastore in their latest issue and gave it a 9 for ease of use (out of 10), a 7 for implementation, an 8 for value, and an 8 for overall. The final comments were: "All told, Digita have come up with a winner. Unless you have a 68000 machine, on which the package can run very slowly, this is one office package you won't regret buying. It has several powerful features, it's easy to use, and has great design and layout features. Databases will never be the sort of software to quicken the blood and bring hormones to the boil, but Digita have at least made theirs interesting." ————————– Datastore is available in the United States and Canada from Soft-Logik Publishing.
