    No licence received, emails not responded to

    Date: Mar 20 2024
    Summary

    Great software but essentially been ripped off. Paid for a license but the seller never sent me a license key and refuses to reply to my many emails. The forum for the product mentions that he abandoned the software and can't be reached. Abandonware is one thing but simply stealing the "license" money is fraud.

    Positive

    Great HTML editor with split view. Fast editing. Nice user interface. Dark theme support. Alternative to DreamWeaver.

    Negative

    Paid $90 for a license, didn't get a license, author unresponsive.

    I love BlueGriffon but....

    Date: Jan 07 2022
    Summary

    I love BlueGriffon, except for its strange flaw. It goes for 4-5 months between when it blows up.
    Interestingly enough, it works fine in source mode, and if you aren't afraid of looking at HTML, it is quite serviceable in source mode.

    Positive

    Lots and lots of features. I am especially in love with its ability to create a table of contents. I will generate beautifully simple HTML/CSS, because it's not a word processor and it doesn't try to create beautiful documents, it's an HTML editor and it creates HTML documents.

    Negative

    It unreliable. Every once in a while, it will break. Deleting the configuration files and reinstalling it doesn't help. I have gotten no help from the author.
