PHP Cow: A User perspective (Highly negative experience)

I was looking to buy a news script for a client to be used as a News manager and some other content issues. Looking at the features list of phpcow and the example templates, the script looked promising.

I registered for a trial account and tried to implement a new template. A lot of inconveniences because of the image path and other limitations. However, I put an order to buy the script hoping that a fully installed script would not have all these shortcomings.

Here started my negative experience. They claim to send the license within 24 hours but it took them 72 hours to send it to me. Their after sales support is too fast to be true. It needs almost a day to answer an email. They fix the license for an absolute URL and it does now work for any directory within the licensed URL. It should be always at the root of this URL. You can not even test it on a test server.

They claim client's satisfaction but there is no refund policy even though their script is encoded and one can not use it at all without the license. Still, bad luck if you buy it.

I suggest that one asks a lot of questions before registering a sale and wish you best luck if you got into this trap also.
