Really great work here. Delivers more than expected, and in a way that leaves the user feeling great about it.


It has really produced a nice effort, and leaves the user feeling like they recieved good value. It delivers what was promised and a little more.


Well it's ok, it passes and at least delivers what it originally says. However it definitely could be better, and doesn't really push the standards to give the user "Great Value".


This is below average, just doesn't pass. Needs some improvement to bring it up to standards of being "Ok".


I think the first word on this one says it all - Rubbish. Not even worth wasteing your time on. Does not deliver what was promised. Possibly does not even work correctly. It will really need a tremendous amount of improvement to bring it up to standards.
