Customer Reviews
Outstanding w/ exception of iPhone sync error on recent episodes
Excellent quality, succinct and informative. I have familiarity with DreamWeaver, but, as an amateur web designer, am looking to move to a less intimidating interface. Freeway seems to fit the bill. These video podcasts are an excellent supplement and great variation to the very thorough (448 pages) downloadable (and free) reference manual from SoftPress. Only reason for not giving 5 stars, is because the some of the most recent episodes (including "Working With Flash Video", "Rollovers in Freeway 5" and "Tour of the Freeway 5 Interface") won't load properly onto my iPhone. I receive the error message: "Some of the videos in your iTunes library including [the 3 referenced above] were not copied to the iPhone...because they cannot be played on this iPhone." None of the older episodes have this issue (nor do any of video podcasts I have downloaded from other podcasters). Hope SoftPress can resolve this in the future. In any event PLEASE keep more episodes coming!
Very Useful Tips
I think Freeway is a great app. These videos cover elements you might not think of, like the blogger connection. My daughter wants me to set up a blog. Delightful to learn how easy it is in Freeway. Please do more.

Freeway ROCKS! The video tutorials are very helpful. Especially if you haven't done a certain task in a while!
