More than happy with WCP, excellent service and the product is mint. Ive thought about this, and to be fair we've made a fuss over nothing. WCP will still work, and it works very well, i dont need it to do anything more than it does, like i said id of like the emailing invoices option...but i can make do.
 
Im maybe a little gutted about compass as i wont be paying that much for a system unfortuantly so wont know what its like...but in my opinion cant do much more than wcp that doesnt already do for ME.

The option to access it anywhere would be nice, on phone etc. But then we have WCP lite for that.

I would personally like to thank Ian for all his help he has given me, he has been there for me on many occasions and some not even WCP related. I did have a little problem with WCP once, he was away on a family holiday and took the time out to get that sorted for me, thats service if you ask me. I think i have more than taken his £150 i paid 2 years ago for WCP.

So in conclusion, thanks for WCP guys, i love it, and will continue to use it forever and good luck for the future venture.

I've never heard anyone regret getting it.This thread and what led to it is just bizarre.

What i've never understood with this kind of software and the biz opps available is why not just rebadge it.Landscape pro for gardeners, you'd only need alter the opening page.Then do the same for each of the service industries with tweaks here and there.

As regards a big catch all programme for everything- all points of the compass- i think it's pretty undoable. I'll doff my hat to Ian's programming skills but what he's attempting is undoable.

Here's why.

George or wcpro couldn't have been created by one person, not even albert einsteen.They needed the input of hundreds and then thousands of users, many coming up with suggestions and ideas.The solutions are often practical and pragmatic, not intelectual.At the very least you need a core user group to guinea pig.It doesn't matter that you have a huge investor in the wings and that the prize could be in the tens of millions.

To spend months conceptualizing, is all very well, but a quicker surer route might have been to just ask people what they want.

I realise no one actually asked for my opinion, but heck, it can't get any worse.Can it?

My personal opinion.

I have been very pleased with WCP.
The support I have had has been excellent.
I do have concern,s but they have been answered to my satisfaction and, by what I have seen, I will be using it for years to come.

Best wishes to your new venture, Paul

The support I have received from Ian and Brad has always been excellent.

Even when I have been an idiot and messed up something they have helped me to get back on track again.

I should add that I did not become a 'gold' member but still got the a timely response.

I overeacted initially because I thought I wouldn't be able to use the program any longer.

I'm really relieved that I can continue to use WCP because I'm really happy with all it can do.

It knocks the spots off of George IMO.

WCP is well laid out, clear icons and like a decent modern windows program, as opposed to something that looks like it was written on a commodore 64.

You instantly know whats what with it, you can work your way through the screens and menus in a logical order, and the WCP lite program is great.  The fact that it can be run on many windows moble phones is a good feature too.

I'm not saying George hasn't/doesn't serve a purpose (loads of WC's obviously love it) but all i can say is when i trialed both programs, george seemed really awkward to navigate and use, but WCP seemed very logical and clear.

Lets face it, the cost of WCP is not a huge business expense compared to other things, especially when you consider the amount of time it can save.

Spot on, its just I whished they had this on the I Phone, and can you imagine the potential it will have for Ian and Brad?

I am very satisfied with these guys, no matter what the others say.

how do you get on with the debt list on the lite. : : :

Yeah, It'd be good to see it finished as they said.

But I realised that I don't go out collecting anyway, so it's not a big deal!

If I'm at a job and they owe me from last time, that still shows up on the PDA.

If I needed to go collecting, I could always print the debt list.

I have one simple question.

Based on the fact that WCP is now an old program, will have no new development, is effectively unfinished and will have less support.

When will the price be reduced?

That's an interesting question which I doubt even the owners would be able to answer.
It's unlikely that the new user take up will be particularly high now - indeed it could plummet.  I do note that Ionics have this software listed on their website so that might help.  All the time the software licenses sell in reasonable numbers, the day of such a reduction would be pushed back.
My guess is that it will reduce when the take up of new users drops off sufficiently for the owners to want to attract new users.  There would also need to be a time lag so that the more recent license purchasers won't feel hard done by.
The actual time this might take could be a while - particularly as the software is still being advertised by a high profile WFP supplier.
Personally I wouldn't start using it even if it were free.  That's not a criticism of the software (I've never used it).  It's more about me being happy with my own archaic way of doing things and the difficulties that would be involved transferring data if I decided that WCPro wasn't for me.

Brad, do you want to come and do my P.R.

If Brad cant do it, I hear Gerald Ratner is available
